My New "Film Noir Detective" Office...
...and all of the entertaining things that go with it. I have not had my own office for damn near two years. At my last job in NY, we moved some things around such that I had to share. In Hell-A, I shared an office with Ms. Perma-PMS who I wanted to defenestrate (look it up). Now I get high ceilings, a large window, and a musty, subdued old building with creaky floors, which I love.
This place is very film-noir, and I am tempted to put on my black hat, put my feet up on the desk, smoke a cigar, and hallucinate a scene that starts something like:
"I was working late on a robbery case - a real brain-buster. Around 9 o'clock I heard the sound of heels on the stairs - and not men's heels. A hint of Chanel #5 hit my nose as the door creaked open. From the moment she walked in I knew she was trouble.... etc etc etc " (this uttered in a Humphrey Bogart voice - you get the idea). And this is a PG-13 rated story, BTW.
I left my hat at home, am not allowed to smoke a cigar in here, and probably should not put my feet on the desk, but no one said anything about creative, 100% natural hallucinations, so in between tasks I am keeping myself quite entertained.
Plus I can theoretically climb out my window into this secret alley that is closed enclosed on four sides.
Who said office life had to be boring?
