mbarrick | I took my camera to work like I said I would.

Some seemingly inconsequential reasons my new job R0x0Rz

1.) The building is decent looking

It may may pale a bit compared to its landmarkneighbours across the street (the BC Gas Building, the Arthur Ericson-designed MacMillan-Bloedel Building, and the Royal Bank Tower) but it is not a bad looking building with it's rounded corners and barrel-vaulted and cantilevered glass portico (which is a bit hard to see here).

2.) My office has a view

North east and southeast views from my window.

3.) I have an office

It's a bit devoid of decoration right now, but it is a real office.

4.) Attention to detail

Almost all the hardware in the office is black (IBM or Dell), all the coffee cups in both coffee rooms are matching corporate cups (not a Ziggy nor any other inane "clever" mug to be seen), the walls are covered in actual art (not watered down, lowest common denominator corporate crap, and not a single "hang in there" cat or similar anywhere), nothing anywhere reeks of the commonplace bad-taste of a past decade (e.g. no outdated brown and orange 70's colours, and no pastel 80's anything)... I could go on. Bottom line is

I like my job!!
