The View
The Marketing team I'm part of at The Job moved offices on Tuesday. We'll rejoin the other departments in 6 - 12 months when the entire Melbourne office moves into bigger premises. In the meantime, I'm situated in a fancy, serviced office with some great views.
Do you like my dodgy Photoshop work? My desk looks away from Melbourne's centre and out over the city's 'Sports Precinct' and Eastern suburbs. In the foreground is the Arts Centre spire where I've seen many a live show and also worked a casual job behind-the-scenes at art auctions as a student. The spire is a pretty iconic part of Melbourne.
To the right we have the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), a mecca for football and cricket nerds everywhere. I've set foot in that place twice in my life, I think. Beside that we have Rod Laver Arena, known around the world for the Australian Open Tennis Tournament. I've seen a few tennis matches there in my time, but most of my Rod Laver memories can be attributed to music - my first ever concert (The Cure), attending Pearl Jam's first ever Australian show where kids started tearing up the seats and storming the stage forcing the show to a halt, and loads of others.
Way out in the background are the Dandenong ranges which make up part of Melbourne's outer suburbs. And to the left is the almost finished AAMI Park, which was meant to be Melbourne Storm's home ground, but who knows what will become of that now the rugby club has been exposed as cheats and is rumoured to be shutting down.
Moving to the right slightly, across the Yarra River, I can also see Melbourne's 'Arts Precinct' and South Eastern suburbs. The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) is actually where I went to art school.....nearly 10 years ago! It's kind of weird watching all those little ant-sized people hanging about outside the cafeteria and thinking that used to be me. Just behind that is The Melburnian, one of Melbourne's uber expensive apartment complexes which looks out over the Botanical Gardens.
And that reddish looking thing on the far left, that looks like a thin red building, is actually the exhaust for the Burnley Tunnel which runs underneath all of the buildings in this photo, plus the Botanical gardens and links up with various Eastern freeways.
They say we'll get sick of the view after a while, but for now it's providing plenty of eye candy while I sit at my desk willing my brain to come up with dynamic slogans and media campaigns.

I'll wave in your direction in the morning. Keep your eyes peeled.
Love the pink arrows. It's like poncey lightning! :P
I reckon the AAMI stadium will probably get inherited by the Melbourne Victory if the Storm fold.
So we should CBD lunch it up sometime soon, yeah?
Very nice. That recital center looks a bit funky. Have you been inside?
@Andrew I was waving but you didn't see me!
@cloudcontrol yes!
@WCS No I haven't been in there yet, but there's a cafe it's ground floor that I plan on having lunch in soon!
oh gorgeous view, I don't think I'd ever tire of it.
Great view from your office. Hope it does help for you to be more productive at work. Because for me, having some great scenery at your workplace would really make you more efficient at work. Thanks for the share.
