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.
Starting at the left - south Dallas/Oak Cliff  West down Main St  A tele shot down Main. Arrow points to the grassy knoll.  Northwest - white curved roof in middle is new American Airlines Center.  North - don't remember the name of the build now - used to be Allied bank tower. Pretty cool structure.  Looking northeast - several other builts.

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.
 Good luck with the new job. Dave

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).

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.

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? |

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.
