First week at Anybots

I just finished my first week working in the valley, and it's been a lot of fun.

Here's my desk/work area. I was able to assemble it out of some spare stuff that was lying around. Don't tell anybody, but I stole Jessica Livingston's sweet Aeron chair. Hopefully she won't miss it while she's in Cambridge!

That wasn't a huge problem for the previous tenant (who was a chain smoker, judging by the smell of the room); he just used the desk:


The room also has one of those beds that fold into the wall. That's pretty cool, except that the room isn't much larger than the bed. Therefore, when you fold it down, your only options in the room are to either to sit on it, or stand in the doorway:


Ah well, at least they did have wireless internet, so I can't complain much ;)
