WTF Spring? Looks like a blizzard out there

The title for this post says it all! Spring started yesterday and it was a really nice day outside. Sunny, above the freezing mark, and when I look outside now, I wonder, when is it going to end! I remember the groundhog not seeing it's shadow, and now I wonder, how could this be!?!?

Street view: Painted Ladies of Sparks St.

It's such a nice day today! The sun is out, just around the freezing mark, you can feel that winter is on it's way out. Over the lunch hour, I was walking down Sparks Street, and saw the ladies again, and thought to myself, I have to get them from the ground. Here's a few pictures of the ladies:

Hard at work

This is the first time that I really include myself in one of my photos. Since some people who don't know me well maybe wonder what I do, I figured I'd post of a photo of me at work. Some people may say that I don't work, well this should maybe prove them wrong. It doesn't show me all gritty and dirty (as I can sometimes be when I'm at the farm in New Brunswick), but rather dressed up and moderating a panel. Today, I was moderating a panel on social media. The other panelists were talking about best practices, guideline development, official languages and privacy. It was a power packed panel that was well attended, to a sold out audience in the room and had over 140 people watching on the webcast! To those who were attending and those who watched, I hope you enjoyed the event.

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.

A long day...

Today's day at work was a long day, and no better way to finish it off with putting up my photo :)

Here's a couple of creative shots that I took. I decided to play around my subject for today. It was well worth it and well enjoyed with good friends :)

You wouldn't believe what I found my assistant doing...

I never know what I'm going to take for my photo, and sometimes the photos come by very easily, sometimes I have to dig for ideas. However, today's photo choice was an easy one. When I found my assistant who had fallen asleep on his computer, I thought to myself, this is the shot for today!
Wasn't a tough choice and didn't need to dig too deep, the NRCat just made it easy for me.














After he realized that took the photo, he took the time to wave hi and pretend that it only happened for a few seconds. I wonder how long had he been sleeping there!

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!
