Media - in the office - Page 1

A photo of the corner of a room that has a whole bunch of musical equipment in it: there are three electric guitars and a bass guitar sitting in a stand at the left, two very large speakers, an electronic drum kit, a MIDI keyboard, and a full size piano at the right that is painted in extremely garish bright colours.

A photo of five smiling people looking at the camera. There's me, a man with short brown hair and a short red beard holding a bass guitar, a tall man with shoulder-length hair sitting down holding an electric guitar, two men sitting at the drum kit each holding one drum stick each, and a woman with long brown hair holding a bright pink ukulele.

The reason I was in the office today was because it turns out we have a whole set of musical instruments in the "wellness room", so a bunch of us decided to get together to play some music! It was SO FUN! Only two of us could play guitar or bass so I mostly stuck to one of those, and we ended up with two people playing drums together (one person would do the hi-hat and the other would do the kick drum because nobody was coordinated enough to do both together, lol) and we absolutely got into a groove and were rocking out and it was so excellent. It's planned to be a regular thing and I'm so looking forward to the next one. (There is a group of Very Talented people who get together and play most Wednesdays and Fridays but that was way too intimidating for us so we did our own little thing.)

A wide-angle photo looking down from our Level 30 office in Sydney's CBD. There are a number of shorter buildings directly below, and some taller ones forming a bit of a wall further out. The sky is grey and foggy and everything is wet because it's just been raining.

I am once again in the office and thoroughly enjoying view. Bit of a miserable day though.

A photo of the interior of a corner of our "social" level in the office, there are a bunch of people standing around and one of the walls in the background is covered in a black fabric with shiny stars on it, and there are larger stars hanging from the ceiling.

I don't even know how to describe this one... it's basically a bunch of large shiny blue and silver inflatable balls of various sizes sitting on the floor and hanging from the ceiling, and the lighting is dim but with bright purple directional lighting highlighting part of it. It's... a lot.

A photo of my hand holding a cardboard takeaway container full of nachos, but the corn chips are black.

A photo of the DIY lava cake station, there are little lava cakes in paper bowls, and an assortment of things to put on top: some sort of raspberry jam thing, chocolate flakes, smashed-up chocolate honeycomb pieces, and a giant bowl of cream.

And then completely coincidentally tonight happened to be the "official" opening celebration of our new Level 29, there were nachos and a DIY lava cake station, and the theme was... "stars" or something? Not entirely sure why. Maybe because it's high up? Anyway it was good, though I bailed at like 6:15pm because I was peopled out, haha.
