all good things

Good-bye my old job....

Its doubtful anywhere else will have the same penchant for putting a single song or Album on repeat all day the way Studio C does. Some personal favorites... 2+ days of the Charlie Brown Christmas Album
Obscure Culture Club
The Top Gun Soundtrack
Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" all afternoon and the next morning, complete with boss kareoke.


NOWHERE will have a basement quite like Studio C. That perfect mix of Ping Pong Table/ Conference Room/ room with piles and piles of random crap like plastic baby dolls, fake bags of money, a player piano, a ton of old office phones, and lots of places to hit your head/ trip on something.


Its equally doubtful I will ever work somewhere with such wonderful lunchtime excursions. Ho can you go wrong when you have choices like:
Zuni Kitchen
Los Carboncitos
Baby Egg Rolls/ Bun/ Lunch Special (all the same place)
Chinese bakery (Will's Grandma)
Pho
Chow Fun
Other Chow Fun
Other Other Chow Fun (that isn't as good)
Super-authentic Korean food (for the company Christmas Dinner)
Dim Sum

Nowhere else will have a fridge so fully stocked with mounds and mounds of string-cheese like studio C. Nowhere else will have such a ready supply of swiss cake rolls, animal crackers, or gross slightly-flavored carbonated water. Nowhere else will have such a rigorously designed coffee maker/ beans/ grinder/ water dispensor setup.

Most of all, though, I will miss that unrepeatable experience of walking around in the basement, and realizing the trap door in the ceiling was directly below my desk.

Studio C was an amalgum of the fascinatingly ingenious, and the amazingly infuriating. I'll go back sometimes I'm sure.... for lunch, mainly.
