Snowy pictures from my new office window.

This is a view from my window in my new office.  My office is no longer in the basement under the stairs.  I used to feel like Harry Potter.  Okay, Harry Potter minus the wand, magic ability, friends and protectors, and the school.  Okay, so, I didn't really feel like Harry Potter.  I felt like I wasn't important enough to have a real office with a real window.  That has all changed.

This is another shot from inside my cozy office.  My office is about the side of a small bedroom.  Maybe 13' x 9' or so.  I am a dude so I have trouble with measurements, just ask Babsalot, she'll tell you how bad I am at guessing measurements.  The window is huge.  About 3' wide by 4 1/2' tall and it overlooks the valley next to my office building.

My office building is technically a basement too.  But it is a much newer basement in a much newer building.  And I am not the only one in the office building.  I now have coworkers.  That will take a bit of time to get used to, but I will adapt.  The town that I live in has a lot of hills and valleys and most structures are built on the side of the hills.  We have one hotel that is eight or so stories tall and all floors are considered ground level.



Living in this small town has its ups and downs -no pun intended- but one of the winter perks is when it snows it looks like something from Switzerland.  In fact the city used to call it Little Switzerland.  You expect to see some lumberjacks wandering around.  I do enjoy living here.  Working for the tourism industry in a small town can be trying but it works out okay.

Well, there you go.  My boring tale of the day.  The fun will begin when it is time to go home and I have to navigate the hills with re-frozen snow and slush.  I have to cross two bridges to get home and neither of them have guard rails.  That may be a tale for tomorrow.
