stormdogI'm 'on queue' at work today, which means that all the incoming calls are my joint responsibility along with one partner. We rotate through being responsible for incoming calls on one day and having two days to work on and resolve those calls. We do this instead of something sensible like having an actual tiered support system where we have level one techs who take calls and escalate to level 2 and level 3 because...well, I'm still trying to figure that out.
As I dig further in here, have a picture.
This is the south face of the Merchandise Mart, one of Chicago's largest commercial buildings, seen from the Franklin street bridge. At the time of its opening, it had the most occupiable floor space of any building in the world, a title which it held until the completion of the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The bronze heads are captains of Chicago industry and commerce.
I like this picture, but I wish I hadn't put one of the decorative columns on the river-facing balcony right in front of the main entrance, and I think there's just a touch too much space on the right side. Plus the buildings are a little slanty, which I can't seem to help when photographing large buildings. It's really tough to get everything perfectly leveled. I have another one where there's a little less space on the right, but the buildings are leaning a touch to the right instead of a touch to the left, which looks worse.
