Title: Another Hard Day At The Office

Anyone else want to show us where they work and what they do?
_{This is actually my holiday job, for which I'm not paid. But they don't allow anything sharp cameras in my normal workplace.}

You could always do a courtroom artist style drawing for us. Lack of art skills, especially those involving colour or perspective, a bonus...

Not my photo (mostly because I don't get over the river enough, and never when it's good light), but this is my office;

There is only ONE very important button, the one you push to get free hot coffee.

Hmm. Nice idea. At the moment it seems not to be working. I only get coffee after lots of grovelling and 'pretty pleases'!

Photies not allowed where I work.

Although mobile phone generated pics are the only way acceptable to my client to approve work which has been executed.

Funny world.
