My new job

I've been at this job for two days and I figured it's about time I write about it, since everybody keeps asking. It's a large web company that sells customer service, tech support, provides online video gaming. For legal reasons the company discourages people from blogging, tweeting, or generally writing about them, so I will try to refrain from naming the company, but you might be able to deduce it from a photo or two below. That's acceptable, right?

There are only a handful of tall buildings in Colorado Springs. I can count them on one hand. I work on the top floor of one of them. (As always, click on the photos below for a larger version)

The brick building, second from the right, with the single horizontal line of black windows across the top floor is my building, and I work on that floor.


This view is looking east toward the building, and I work on the south side of it.
Doing a little bit of research, I've learned that it's called the Alamo Corporate Center.




The view from my desk. That's Cheyenne Mountain in the background, where NORAD is located. It's a military base INSIDE the mountain.










Wells Fargo Tower, the tallest building in Colorado Springs. I'm a little bummed at the location of Wells Fargo Tower in relation to my office, because it totally blocks what would be a stunning view of Pike's Peak.












FirstBank Building


I'm not sure what this building is, but I think it has something to do with the U.S. Olympic Committee. It's right across the street, and almost completely built.




Looking north up Tejon Street.














My desk. I need to spruce it up.


No one works in this cubicle next to me... hmmm... I need to get on that.

And for those of you who were shocked to hear that the smoke from the L.A. fires made its way to Colorado Springs...
