We’ve been working out of a temporary office for the last few months while the Bellevue Place contractors build out the permanent office upstairs. We moved in last Friday and today everyone is busy running power and network cables and setting up their desks. There’s a guy with a paintbrush finishing up some trim work, there are boxes all over the floor, and nobody has pulled the protective plastic film off the fancy stainless-steel wall panels yet…
It’s an open-plan office, and all the developers sit in one long room with south-facing windows. We picked out where we wanted to sit today, and I grabbed a desk with a westward view: I may have to spend my days in Bellevue now, but I can look up any time and see the Space Needle peeking over the top of Capitol Hill. The window frames my home neighborhood almost perfectly.
Now it’s time to figure out how the new coffee maker works.
Barnaby just got full time work in Bellevue, too. I wonder if you are near each other.

We probably are – there isn’t very much *of* Bellevue, really. I work in a building at NE 8th & Bellevue Way, kittycorner from the mall; where is he?

Sure beats carpeted cubicle walls!
