Back in the city and it feels so good!
Today’s the first day at our new office location near Wynyard. As I don’t need to take the train anymore, Snookums and I can commute together in the mornings again! It was spitting rain today so we decided to take the bus. It only took, like, ten minutes to get here. (Granted, the traffic was oddly light today.) We’re in a really cool old heritage building with high ceilings and hardwood floors. The old bits near the bathrooms and the stairwells are tiled in that old-fashioned way that always reminds me of railway stations and elementary schools. My desk faces across the little park at Wynyard, and I have giant windows in front of me that let me look over the city skyline. (Hm. I just discovered the problem with big windows: the sun shines in my eyes! Time to lower the shade.) Of course, there’s still a lot of work to be done and the dust isn’t helping my allergies. I managed to get my computer set up though, and the Internet seems to be working at the moment. I can’t wait to hit Chop Chop at lunch…

I’m missing our building @ Darling Park, I had a great view over Market & Sussex Streets, and the overpass… Some great procrastination viewing was had :O)
Now we’re up on Elizabeth street, the windows have blinds built into them, and it makes it very hard to see anything at all, but what we can see is pretty cool looking out over Hyde Park.
One great thing about where we are now, is we’re spoilt for choice for food
Seriously. You’d think North Sydney would have lunch options, but it’s so, so much better in the city.
Look up at Australia Square Tower… I’ll wave ;-D
Ha! I’ve got a great view of it. There you are! (I’m on the top floor of the green building across the way.)
Ahhh yes.. I can see you offices… now which side are you on 😉 You realise you office building is actually Metropolis Hospital?
I thought they said it was the old CityRail building?
Obviously you haven’t see Superman Returns 😉
No, I have! But that was the Menzies, wasn’t it? I went down there when they were filming. All the people were on the *other* side of the park.
The entry to Wynard Station at the base of your building was boarded up to look like the entry to the hospital. On IMDB ‘Metropolis General Hospital’ is listed as “Wynyard Underground Station, Wynyard, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia”
Huh! Here’s the post from when I visited filming. I guess they must’ve just been doing a street scene then.
