How To Get To Where I Work

This is the road I work on.  This is the view you would see immediately after turning onto the road.  That warehouse-looking building on the far left is one of the buildings on our work property.  I think the driveway is the 3rd one on the left, which is down the hill just a little way.  That mountain in clear view on the right is where the park is where para-sailors (para-sailers?) para-sail from.  Is it called para-sailing?  I suddenly realized I'm not sure what para-sailing is.  But I know they're not parachuting or hang-gliding.




This is the view immediately when you turn left into our work driveway.  That first warehouse on the right is the same one in the picture above, and the second warehouse is where the main office is.  There's a third warehouse behind that.  I park on the right, next to where that other car is parked in this photo.










This, in fact, is (essentially) the view from where I park.  I'm actually standing in the same driveway shown in the previous picture, but straight out in front of my car.  That white car in the background is the plant manager's car.  I have to walk back here around to the back of this warehouse to get into the main office.









Here's the outdoor space I see the most when I'm at work.  If you walk up the driveway shown in the previous picture(s) and turn right to go between the two main buildings, this is your view.  The building on the right has the main office, a meeting room, and our largest machine.  The building on the left has a meeting room and about 6 other gigantic machines, give or take.  Also immediately to my left in this picture is a vending machine with both hot and cold drinks, like hot coffee in a dozen varieties and cold coffee in a dozen OTHER varieties.  Also, maybe some tea.


Here you're looking at the main office.  It has a plaque right on it that says "Main Office."  You can kind of see right inside the door (even though the glass is somewhat frosted) that everyone takes their shoes off, even in the main office of a business.  That 5-tier rack inside the door has guest slippers. It also reminds me that I left my umbrella in another rack just inside that door.








Here is the inside of the main office.  That grayish cabinet to the left is the same ominous rectangular silhouette you can see inside the door in the previous picture.  In this photo, I'm standing behind the manager's desk.  The first desk on the right is the secretary's, the one directly across from that (immediately behind the photobombing phone) is mine.  That dry-erase marker board in the background, at the press of a button, will not only scroll to a whole new blank board, but scan and print what's written on the full one as it scrolls.  Its really quite amazing.


Here's my desk from the back.  This was taken at about 5:50 this evening, a few minutes after I had already packed up my computer.  Usually my laptop is sitting there, broadcasting a wireless signal so I can play games and check email ON MY BREAKS.

And that's it for the guided tour!  There are, of course, the insides of the rest of the buildings and the other half of this building, but there are a lot of photos-forbidden zones and plus I'm only really in those places when I'm actually working so I can't just be taking pictures willy-nilly.
