What do you do for work this summer? On a scale of amazing to mind numbing, how do you like it?
A patent litigation firm in the Empire Goddamn State Building. It's a team of 20 ballers, half of whom come to work in shorts, that just grind all day and night until they meet the deadline and then get fucked up and take the next day off. One of our most recent clients won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics; one of the partners had me go to the hardware store and turn the conference room into a lab so we can physically test infringing products. We have poker nights. It's paradise, work hard play hard. This is the view when I swivel 180 on my chair. That's right, I have a swivel chair and it's fire. 
It's very temporary, so I'm trying to make the best of it. Sorry for bragging so much on the 'Ski:D What do you do?
Working too, I like it mostly. It's at the bank but my department is know as the shit disturbers so it's pretty fun :) airBNBing an apartment and working on side stuff too. Otherwise, i'm living the summer life too seeing friends and whatnot but past week has been kinda quiet on that side. Half my friends are leaving Montreal, so goodbye parties coming up. Fkin sucks, gotta find new friends.
Dude, it's a kick-ass view. There's a lot of energy in that view, and you can get the same sort of majesty from it that you would from a mountain range. I used to take the train from Whitefish MT to Chicago IL. It would basically start in Glacier National Park amongst some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the US. -Huge mountains, waterfalls etc. Then, MANY hours later we would be in Chicago and you'd get out right downtown amongst some of the largest buildings in the US. Honestly, it's a similar energy. Glad you are digging what you are doing. But non need to apologize for that view at all. It's fantastic! Have a great day
I get what you're saying. The marvel of this view is more invoking of the power and energy that is surging through this city, rather than a breathtaking mountain range or something. It's also not the best side of the office: This is the uptown-facing side, Brooklyn in the far right past the skyscrapers. The first one I posted is the NJ-facing side over the river. Idk, I think it's pretty crazy. Imagine how much happened within the frame of each shot in just the instant that I took these photos.
Now that's a thought to think over. Maybe I'll write a short story based on that. Sounds appealing. As for the view... I used to marvel at it, too. I had a wallpaper of an American city on my desktop, and that view brought warmth to my heart. NYC doesn't give that. Now that I think of it, the city is scary: it's too big, too populous, too damn ugly from upstairs - a nightmare for a deep introvert like myself. That being said, I think I'd love to walk it early in the morning in the summer.Imagine how much happened within the frame of each shot in just the instant that I took these photos.
