View from my new office
 

Just landed a gig as Director of Real Estate for a securities/banking firm. One of the perks is a corner office on 37th floor. I can see ~230 degrees. Here are some shots out my windows.

Very nice. I bet you are eye level with the Southwest jets when they are on the Northbound approach.

I always wondered who works in those buildings.

Cool view. Thanks for the pointing out the grassy knoll, I would never have noticed. Now get back to work!!! They're not paying you to take pictures. :D

Good luck with the new job.

Dave

where are the boobs?

Oh wait, wrong thread.

Now that you`ve got a camera, light up a cigar and call up a bunch of hookers, J.R. Ewing ! (I always suspected that`s how people `work` in thoses offices).

Aurel

nice!

Need a flunky? I'm ready to get out of this engineering gig...

Do your ears pop on the way up to your office?

that's one flat city...

Just in time for the next Terrorist attack on Americn skyscrapers....

On the upside, you have a window office.

On the downside, you have to look at Texas.

Yes, very Ewingesque !

First thing your customers here you say: - "Can I fix ya a drink, Bobby ?"

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.

Nice office, Wilson! Are you pumping the "Jeffersons" theme song on the PA I hope? :)

Congrats and Good Luck on the new job! Git 'em, boy! http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/fles.gif

Tha'ts funny - Scooter said the same thing yesterday.

That highway in the first picture looks like a HotWheels track.
Yeah, I know, i'm a dork.

Congrats on the new job!

Mark,
Need any IT guys? (I work for Ford... for now... Nice view! Congratulations!

Wow! If I had views like that, I wouldn't use it as just an office -- I'd turn it into my home!

Do you have room to set up a bed in there?

Look, a black Audi wagon!

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

Sweet - I know that area well, worked for several years in DT. Almost miss it from the pictures - but I don't miss the traffic, or the heat, or the cold.

Nice office though.

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

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

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. ;)

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...

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.

Hilarious!

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.

This is when having multiple personalities really pays off......

Thanks Paul - Same job, just more responsibility and in a better industry. Time will tell.

I don't see a bulletin board for your TPS reports???

Tornado's:eek:

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.

Make sure U know where the Fire Exits are...

No danger - closest double wide is several miles away.:D
