We just moved floors at work and so it finally seems nice enough to show you! Here are some scenes from a typical day.
Bike ride in the morning: sunrise! It’s already getting darker in the morning and I think it will be pretty tough for a completely dark morning commute but for now, the sunrise is inspiring.
Here’s the building -the Ij tower, right on the river.
We’re now on the 4th floor (that’s actually 3b, more aligned with the feng shui principles of our business group leader)…and her’s my desk! That’s an Edward Hopper Print of a lighthouse in Portland Head Maine (from the MFA in Boston), a cute little wooden kitty from a dear co-worker at litl, and most excitingly, a Mac – which technically is not protocol, but I was becoming severely depressed using a windows machine. Now, staring at a computer for far too many hours a day is a bit more tolerable.
View from my desk! We’re right by the cruise ship terminal and sometimes there are huge ships outside. I’ve seen tourists with binoculars very interested in our work…they all get friendly waves of course. Haven’t seen anything wild or scandalous yet, but when I do I will report back. I’ll take a good photo when there are no boats – much more picturesque.
Typical work outfit, photographed in the bathroom mirror. Black pants, a crewneck sweater of some sort or white oxford shirt, heels to feel less insecure around all the super tall Dutchies (typically transition to flats by 4:30pm), a scarf – this one is really special, Timo brought it back from Denmark for me! Or you’ll probably find me in a black dress, skrit/turtleneck, and my absolute favorite accessory, black tights!
One of the new stars of my blog, Yvette!! Love working together.
But it really wouldn’t be possible without you, Douwe Egberts. Excellent coffe and cappuccinos from the canteen upstairs.
