Mark it is obvious that your employers have no idea what you are really like.

Nice. All I have is a park like setting with a babbling brook running through.

You and me both. Got any business ideas you need a partner on?

Oh I've got plenty ideas, only problem is they're unworkable. This is why I'm looking for a job as a flunky.

Now you have to keep that beautiful 993 C4S and drive it to work everyday. Afterall, you have an image to uphold now.

We're a movin' on up,
(We're a movin on up.)
To the east side.
(Mo-vin on up.)
To a de-luxe apartment, (insert office here)
In the sky-.

We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen,
A beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lot of trying
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin our turn at bat.
As long as we live
It's you and me baby.
There ain't nothing wrong with that.

When I hired on at Bechtel in 1981, fresh out of school, my office building was 221 Main Street - right on the Embarcadero. I had a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge and Alameda Naval Air Station. That lasted about 2 years and spoiled me for life. It was the last good view I ever got.

After 25 years in the business, I don't even have a window in my office now!?! Although there is a tall, hot civil engineer right outside my door. She just graduated and is eager to learn all about concrete and steel (of which I know nothing because I'm mechanical).

It doesn't look that hot to me... but it is Texas, and they're always talking about how hot it is...

Congrats on the digs. My last high-rise gig was 45th (top) floor of 101 Park Avenue, looking from about 35 to 270 degrees. Dunno how I got the corner, but it was very cool while it lasted. I was not in my office for 9/11, but most of my co-workers were...

The gig I landed as consultant pediatrician has earned me a room the size of a small bathroom. One desk, one chair and no windows.

Thats what I get for living in a pseudo-communist country.

Cool digs Mark! Many congratulations on the new gig. May this job be one hell of a lot more enjoyable than your last one.

When is the first paper airplane contest?

You know, for team-building.

actually the hard point was that an Ex-President was shopping in one of the highest quality office bldg's in the world. That view is also in that league. I'd rather have the Rocky's.

A side point is that a $B NYC re player was able to turn off the power and influence of an Ex-P. That's big time imo... bonus coupons for me was that it was Hillary's husband.

there is a relatively new $10M restaurant & bar ds that local suits stop at when they are thirsty for lunch time. It's an easy place to hang whether you know the locals or not.

btw.. the $10M was for materials as the re player already owns the bldg outright.

We need a picture of the outside of the building. It is a nice view and everything, but what if the outside looks like a big dildo? Then it wouldn't be that impressive.
