That Gormandizer Man

A new agency, a new desk

So, big changes since the last update from "The place where the magic happens..."

I'm no longer at Woo, and no longer in Engine Towers. I spent a few months soaking up what life had to offer and now I'm at a shiny new desk with a shiny new mac whirring away with all things planning. I'll post more about the new agency and the new role when the time is right, but for now behold the place where the magic happens:

We've got all the signs of some serious planning happening at this desk. Cold coffee, ever-present water to prevent headaches, new business cards already being given out and an iPod that you'd love to get the chance to listen to but can't. Add in not one, but two office 'To-Do' pads (and a moleskine in the bag under the desk), too many files saved to the desktop and the ubiquitous fork on the desk from too many lunches al-desco.

The cigars aren't mine - they're for a friend - but I've been tempted to light one up and chill out over the past two months.

Two months in. Exciting stuff to work on, some great work being produced. Bring it on.

A busy surface

So October is upon us. The desk is showing the strains of lots of work, but also showing lots of hope. There are holidays left to take... and lots of them. Let's just hope Mr. Engine signs them all off...

 
(There's a version with notes here.)

And yes, before you ask, northerners certainly are kool...

Another new desk

Within 9 months I've had 3 different desks and 3 different offices. I'm not unemployable - we've merged, moved and changed and stuff.

So this is the first glimpse into the new building. Hopefully I'll be here for a while.

(I've put some notes on the flickr version over here)

Not the most exciting desk yet, but we're still bedding in. Oh, the wrestling mask and thinking cap are in my drawers. As the actress said to the bishop...

Malmo, Sweden

Yep, the magic happens in places other than the office. This is Rory looking over something that I'd just worked on when I had a moment of inspiration. Not a single thinking cap in sight.

This is where the magic happens

For no reason other than I thought it'd make a quite interesting post. Here is a flickr album with intermittent snaps of my desk at work. I seem to attract stuff. Stuff - pure and simple.

So this is it today. This will probably turn into another one of those things where there's an occasional post about it. Why not, eh?

(Go to the flickr version here and there are informative notes... yep - informative)
