I have an office assignment! Yay!

It has no windows! Boo!


Ah well, I figured that would be the case.



Now if they could just get me a laptop... "You can't use your personal laptop for work." "Okay, fine, get me one." [ > two months later...] "You can't use your personal laptop for work..." "Riiiiiiiiight."

All Microsoft jokes aside, "no windows" is my preference as well--my last couple of window offices (current one included) just don't provide enough wall space for my art.

And since I work in downtown Bellevue, who wants to look at what's outside the windows anyway?

Replying to you as directly relevant: I should have mentioned that my friend's reason is he, no exaggeration, covers every square foot of wallspace of his office with prints (mostly Escher, some Roger Dean) and film posters. So he doesn't like windows because he can't use thumbtacks on them.

(I will take your word about downtown Bellevue, having never been there.)

Huh. I had been previously unaware of Roger Dean, he's got some interesting stuff--thank you. Dunno if you've been there, but his Web site (http://www.rogerdean.com , natch) also has pictures of his architecture, which I particularly liked--we tried (but failed) to have our street named "Bagshot Row", and I'm thinking his style would fit that theme quite nicely.

Bellevue's not particularly unattractive as cities go, but it's still a city. You can kind of sort of see part of the mountains between the highrises, unless it's raining, which it does pretty often around here.

You *have* mountains.

...And since you _don't_, for what do you need a window?

Speaking of mountains, took this from our Seabeck lot. We'll have this view every night, assuming we can ever afford to build the damn house:

Hey, if you'd get home in time to enjoy the sunset... :D

There's always the belle... ;)

Woot! That's my cue... :D

Yes, it's a nice website. There's two large books of Dean's artwork out there: the first one (_Views_) is considered as better than the second (_Magnetic Storm_). Unfortunately, he's not going to release one of his works in print form, so I had to buy the double album it'd been used on. I should get the cover framed.
