The biggest change in The Big KL's life right now: the big office move. The company I work for has re-rooted itself from the humble beginnings at the studio office by the mouth of the Holland Tunnel to big time Union Square. We started off with half a dozen people in a studio office, I became employee #13 about a year after its inception, and in two years we grew to four studio offices within the same building. After years of rolling my Herman Miller chair over splintering wood floors and attending meetings that were standing room only, we now have an actual office in an office building on 5th Avenue, a bit south off 14th street. We finally share one room again, with industrial strength carpet, and 5 separate conference rooms with real chairs in each one. Our old sink and over-flowing mini fridge, looking like it was nabbed from a college dorm, is now a full fledged kitchen with full size refrigerator. Instead of two local delis filled with exhaust fumes from the gateway to New Jersey, we've now got an endless amount of chain, fast food, and local eateries every few feet. I've spent a portion of my paycheck on the past few days alone on Dunkin Donuts coffee, Quizno's, and Chipotle, offering many more alternatives to salads with flies (and hopefully no salads at all). No more running along the West Side highway when I can run to Chat 'N' Chew for mac and cheese. I found a place to buy a new dog, three places to take care of my new dog, and even more places to get my nails done. Look for me to become fatter and poorer over the next few months. Unless I join one of the local gyms, but I don't see that happening anytime soon... Don't want to ruin my new nails with those heavy weights.More official info and a few pics here, from my company's official blog.
