18K / 7 = 2.57K per person.

according to this: [link]

average sq ftg per worker is currently about 150.

so you'd need to be able to get 150sq ft for $2570.00 or just over $17 a sq ft.

If my math logic is correct.

Or wait, are you looking for a new office, and need to know how big you can afford, is that it?

flea, yes.

Annual rent per person is $2571, so if you find a 25,710 square foot place for $18K, that'll be $1 per staff person, right?

I can see why you are confused. Don't most spaces rent by the month? So you need a space that you can rent for $1500 a month that fits 7 people. If msbelle is right and 7 people need 150 square feet each, you need at least 1050 square feet. So if you found a space that matched those numbers the cost would be $1.43 per square foot per person per month (multiply time 12 for a year).

This conversation is making me want to cry.

Awesome, thank you! I think I got it now.

I just emailed Dylan's teacher asking if I could help out with school supplies - it's been two days since he used up all the pages in his marble homework notebook and she hasn't given him a new one. I figure it's about a 50/50 chance of having 29 kids to keep track of and just forgetting to give him a new one vs running out and not having a budget to buy more. Hopefully she won't think I'm just being passive-aggressive about Dylan turning in homework on loose leaf paper the past two days...

Well crap. Just when I thought things were starting to settle down (post washer dying, flood, bed bugs, getting a new washer/dryer, K-Bug moving out...), I got a letter from Colorado DMV. Apparently after I left California, 4.5 years ago, my license was suspended. I had a ticket, which I would swear I had paid before I moved, that turned to a failure to appear. I didn't know a thing about this until yesterday. If I don't get this sorted out before March 24th, I lose my Colorado license.

I called CA DMV and then the courts and have paid the original ticket again (I don't have the records to go back and be able to prove I paid it 4.5 years ago and it is only $93). Now I have to wait for the courts to notify CA DMV and then I need to pay CA DMV a $55 fee to reinstate my license (which doesn't make sense since I don't need a CA license), get a "letter of clearance" and then go to reapply for my CO license. Oy!!! At least the money side of this mess is manageable. It is just getting all the pieces pulled together within 4 weeks that has me concerned.

Jessica, do the teachers distribute school supplies? Our kids just get a homework agenda book, but nothing else.

At least the money side of this mess is manageable.

It's a bright side, even though the DMV is evil incarnate.
