Working in New York

This week I was in New York working on a new account I’ve been assigned to, Bloomberg Sports. Their office is located in Midtown East. It is a crazy busy building, a big corporate office, but very modern and contemporary. It reminded me of Google a bit in the way that they have all the free snacks and drinks you can think of. And they are very green and make as much as they can compostable. The sports area has big flat screen TVs that play ESPN all of the time. People randomly shout out “So and So was taken by fill-in-the-blank MLB team.” Interesting. I’m not a huge baseball fan, but sports is a really cool account to be on. I am learning a lot on this project so far and am looking forward to my work in the upcoming weeks. BTW, I’m working on designing iPhone portion of our project, so that is fun.

The office is located a block south of Bloomingdale’s. While I didn’t really have time to shop, I did pause for a moment to look at their holiday windows and to take this short video.

You can almost hear the music playing over the taxi cab horns. Oh, New York.

While I was out there I also managed to get a really horrible photo taken for my security badge. I don’t think the camera at the security desk knows how to take a good photo. Everyone’s photo is pretty horrible. They only have to wear it around their neck every second of every working day. Pretty much you’re wearing the worst representation of yourself.

My photo makes me look like I have a Hollywood Bumpit or that I’m doing a Snooki impersonation! I looked in the mirror right after this photo and I DID NOT look like this in real life!
