re: The view from my "office"
I got a call from the MD of major client company a couple of days ago:
He: Maaaaaaaate - what are you up to?
Me: Oh, hi. I'm in Buenos Aires, about to fly to Mendoza at the foot of the Argentine Andes for a spot of Malbec and Pinot Noir tasting for a couple of days.
He: You know the pinots in the Canadian Rockies are really good, don't you?
Me: Well, yes, but they aren't at the foot of the Andes, nor are they in Argentina, whereas I am.
He: That's what I wanted to talk to you about, actually .....
(The conversation was nothing like that, really
.)
So, 2 days later, the Management of RooFlyer Gawker Industries have made a sudden, unscheduled trip to British Colombia to [-] inspect Canadian assets and drink pinots in the mountains [/-] work, in exchange for an injection of funding which will go some way to pay for the current [-] junket [/-] study trip.
I've posted pics about my Canadian work environment before; this time, view to the new office (one of the peaks on the left):
