Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta.

As promised long ago, here are some pictures of where I work and play.
My streetcorner. The glassy building on the corner is a Starbucks, the red-brick building to the left is my apartment. I live down in the basement!
Looking left down Pennsylvania, the street in front of the Starbucks. Cosi is some kind of sandwich place; they're everywhere here.
Looking the other way down Pennsylvania. This is a Dodge Stratus. Off in the distance behind it is the main building of the Library of Congress.This is my place of employment (kind of) (I don't get paid anything). Impressive looking, huh? That's eleven stories of granite, baby!

The American Association fo' the Advancement of Science.

Art.
An impressive-looking open foyer place in my office. I'm standing on the eighth floor, which is where my office is. This is just a big expansive open space (redundant much?) from the sixth to the eighth floor. Fun to look down while you're walking by.

Copy machine. Beyond it is my room.

My room.

My corner of my room.
What my corner looks like. It was totally clean when I came in, took about a week to get this way. Except that stuff under the desk. They just left me a bunch of left over bottles of water, juice, tea packets, and other catering stuff I guess.

My view all day. Sometimes I change the webpage.

A fantastic collection of stamps.
Starbucks in Chinatown. Starbucks are also everywhere here. Even moreso than Cosi. I like in Chinatown how all the signs are written in English and Chinese, even though I really doubt the Chinese have a word for "Starbucks" or "CVS." Cheese-bah-gah, right Ellis?
A Chinese gate.

My boss giving me a few articles to put in the database.

5 minutes later.

So there you are, folks. The exciting day-to-day existence of Washington, DC. It snowed this week, and today the snow is hard as ice. Some places have not been walked on, so it's just a solid sheet that you can glide across. I took time to do this on my way back from work, by the Capitol. I fell down a few times. I've seen snow like this before, but hey, why not act like a 20 year old and not an adult? Suits don't mean anything.



The snow is hard.

THE END.

I was gonna say the office pictures are funny, but someone already said that. I'll say the disclaimer is funny. And the AAAS has a pretty sweet building. Your office made me think of Office Space (can't underline/italicize). You should get a red stapler.

Good times with those pictures Matt. It looks like that digital camera was a pretty, pretty good investment. You were dead on that Cheese-bah-gah thing, and I like how you computer screen is on Wikipedia. I'm writing this last sentence in italics to prove to Tulsi that it can be done.
