Bye Bye Australia Square

I went back to the office yesterday for half a day — not to work, but to pack stuff. We are moving office this Saturday, and as I am still in my annual leave, I will not be back until after the Easter.

Last time we moved it was a month after Anna was born. This time it is a few weeks after Elsie was born — so I gathered that at work we move offices depending on when Vivian is giving birth. Well. Maybe not true. We have out-grown the current location and it will be difficult and expensive to stay at the same building so we have to move after 2 and half years.

Bye bye 39th floor Australia Square! Bye bye scenic view of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Circular Quays! I thought I better take another picture before moving, but only realised that I have only brought along my dodgy-cam. Anyway…

We are moving a few blocks south to Martin Place. Much lower floor so no view, i.e. less distraction. I actually do not have the address yet — better finding it out before going back to work in one week.

    Scott,

    Fantastic view.

    We used to have a wonderful view of the ocean and beaches of the Gold Coast from our old office (old in that I’m not in it anymore but we still own the building and have many floors occupied). I’m now in a much bigger building, without a lot of glass on our current floor and without a view; it makes me want to cry!

    Al.

    Hey Al,

    Yes I know. It has a fantastic harbour view — and I am taking all these photos right from my chair (although my back is facing the window)!! I too would love a Gold Coast beach view, but I reckon a Sydney Harbour view is often more lively — Blackhawk choppers and huge cruises can often been seen, and I can also look down the George Street to check out parades.

    But then none of these increases productivity at work :)

    wuau..u moving! closer to angel’s place and the bus stop?

    our office also has a nice view…it’s right opposite the harbour bridge and the rent is 5 digit-figure…
