For those of you who are at all curious about what I do professionally these days (I know, I know – you couldn’t care less, right?), there’s a recent article here from “Built in LA” that profiles the folks I work with.

Full disclosure, _I_ was not sitting in my cube at the time. But this is where we all work and eat and play. And yes, there’s ambient music streaming over the sound system 24X7. In fact, our new CIO has vowed to turn up the volume. I’ll be curious to see what that does to productivity.
In the meantime, Battle of the Bands last month was a blast. OK, truth be told, the acts ranged from the truly awful to the truly awesome. But the guy who won it was great. And _I_ am not entering next year – to everyone’s great relief.

Name plates on the cubicles and offices and conference rooms all look alike. The ones on the conference rooms are named for the artists. I happen to sit between “George Strait” and “Andrea Bocelli.” Hmmm, I wonder if Shawn Mendes is an Executive VP or an artist? Ah, “Lorde” – that must be the CIO!
