Old BMO building on Sparks St

Another view from my office is this nice brick building, which states:
"BANK OF MONTREAL FOUNDED 1817
INCORPORATED BY THE ACT OF PARLIAMENT
THIS BUILDING WAS ERECTED IN 1930

BANK OF MONTREAL

I find it neat to see this nice old building, with the Canadian flag dab in the middle of it, and Parliament in the background, at least the top of Parliament buildings. A little bit of Ottawa history and Sparks St history.

An anomaly

This is a view from outside my office and it reminded me a bit of the painted ladies in San Francisco, even though they are not Victorian style houses, they just look really neat and out of place in this big building environment. The buildings are located on Sparks Street. Maybe we could nickname them the Spark Street Ladies, just a thought. Enjoy:

The new office..

About a week ago, I posted a few pics of my old office, well I figured I'd include pics of the new office :) There's no kids playing, can't hear the kids screaming and laughing, but I've got a little sneak peak of the top of some of the Parliament Buildings. It still needs a bit of life and decoration, but for now it will have to do.

Here's a look at the new diggs and the view:

Goodbye 350 Albert...

Today was my last day in the office at 350 Albert, next week is a new office. Today's photos are partly to remember my office space, might look similar to photos a few days ago, except, I'm in one of the photos, and everything is now packed and ready to go to the new space.










I had not been there very long, but I will miss you, especially the view out the back window which has made a photo or two (the kids playing outside).

Goodbye

Packing up: 1 more day before the move

Since today is the before last day in my office as we are moving down the street, I figured I'd capture a few images of the move and of my messy office as a way to remember this space which I have occupied for more than six months.

I decided to take a few angle shots and a shot down the aisle to show the moving boxes and the working environment.

Bitter COLD Monday...

Some of this week's photos will probably highlight some of the features from my office as our group is moving to another building. I hope to take some photos from my work environment as it will forever change, as I doubt I'll ever be in this office again.

Today's photo is called: empty playground. My window view as featured in a previous photo was the kids outside playing, however I doubt I'll be seeing kids out today. The weather is currently -29C (-20F) but even crazier with the windchill as it's currently -39C (-38F), which is very COLD!

Friday afternoon assistant hard at work...

I decided to go for a little break and l left my assistant at my desk. As you'll see in the next photo, he's hard at work!




















Here he is, the infamous assistant! He always seems to have a smile! I think that's why we get along so well :)

TGIF! I am happy that Friday is here and that this was a short week! I was a busy week, productive week, but glad it's almost done!
