It's been five years since I've worked in an office. Crazy, I know. I've somehow managed to avoid having a cube to call my own for quite some time. I've worked on the mountain, in the classroom, in the studio and in the field, but never in "the office". So this is a relatively new thing...It's strange, this so-called "office". It's a place filled with the monotonous sound of silence punctuated with clicking mouses and tapping keyboards. It's a place where phones ring and printers print; a place where people have meetings and discuss where to "do lunch."
I have a funny little partition of land called a cubicle. It's a square shaped room with 5-feet walls and no door; a place designed for "privacy." Gotta make a phone call? Everyone knows. Gonna eat some pretzels. Everyone knows.
So yes, I have a cube. I also have a desk, a computer, and even my very own stapler.
My face is whiter than ever. My makeup leaves an orange stripe near my chin. It's hard to get a tan sitting under florescent lights. That being said, it's a whole lot better than sitting under a tent in 100 degree heat with ants crawling up my leg.
So how does TravelingJules like being in an office?
It's the most exotic place I've been all year. ;)
It doesn't really compare to Vail's seven backbowls...but I have to say, it is an exciting place to be. A lot of great stuff comes out of this office.
This is TV, baby. The magic happens here. I'm working on a show for the Food network. And we're busy. We've got 26 episodes to book--That's 156 stories to research, cast, book and shoot! My crew is cool. ;) They're everything "bundt" boring (sorry about the food joke). We frequently sample products (Hey, research is key), conduct meetings over Boba tea, and write "piotches" (pitches)! ;P
It's a fun show...but more on that next time!
To people with office jobs everywhere, I only have one thing to say: Check out this video!
