The Studio on Duncan Way

A couple of months ago, I got into a conversation with my good friend Keela about office space. In the course of about two minutes, I was convinced to share an office with her. She's very persuasive!

Anyway, it was the best decision and I absolutely love working there and Keela and I pretty much laugh all day long... except for today as she's working very, very diligently and is a little preoccupied about a trip to Peru. She works for an NGO called Opportunity International, a micro-credit organization helping make poverty history, as their media and PR rep.

The real questions is: do we get any work done? Yes!! I have been super productive in the last couple of days and Keela is ignoring me and typing furiously, so we must be getting something done. If fact, we were so productive a few weeks ago that we had time to come up with our very own list of what goes on here:

Top 20 things to do in our office

1. Kick the bottle (and catch in air)
2. Catch fraudsters
3. Make lists
4. Check email
5. Watch Snakes on a Plane clips on YouTube
6. Get water
7. Think of witty things to write
8. Check email
9. Watch Sam pretend to know what he's talking about on the phone to his business associates
10. Joke around with the staff downstairs
11. Endlessly discuss how to decorate office
12. Chair dance to Jamiroquai
13. Check email
14. Watch Sam fire half his business associates over the phone
15. Take photos standing on the swivel chair
16. Steal rad music
17. Ponder how Keela can contort herself around her desk and chair
18. Check email
19. Watch dog walkers out the window
20. Discuss how our office eschews the confining practice of keeping lists to multiples of 10
21. Forward killer spam
22. Talk shit

Yup, it's a fun place to work.
