I've been tasked with moving my boss's office to a his new space.  I'm fairly certain he expects me to move everything, lamps, personal items etc.  For some reason I'm having a few issues with this.  I'm (almost) willing to move files, but his personal items and items from other companies he is involved with, I don't want to move.
Not to mention that acquisition documents are coming our way in large quantities.  I'm over 50 and executive assistant level (hwoever there are not jr ass'ts here) while I can do the physical, moving mass quantities of files and boxes just isn't what I want to do.
Any thoughts?

Is there anyone you can delegate it to? Including the moving company? If not, I'd say, wear jeans and a sweatshirt, and suck it up and do it if it is necessary. it happens.  Undecided

My hubby to the rescue.  He met me at the office at 5:30, I told him we will only be here until 7.  Between the two of us we knocked it out, with I have to admit him doing most of the heavy lifting me just organizing files.  I do intend to tell the boss that was a one time good deal.  I will not move him again.  Trying to move him during the day with all the nosey nancy's around here would have been impossible.

We have a facilities crew and movers.  My bosses have never requested I move their offices.  However, I did have one who expected it, but I had the movers pack it and she unpacked.
