Working 9 to 5...

The Scotia Tower at 650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver.

Here is the octagonal-shaped office building I've worked at for the past 20 years.  Yes, every morning - Monday through Friday, I get my ass out of bed and hop on the #50 bus to downtown Vancouver.  Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to get a ride to work!  The Scotia Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Vancouver, boasting 36 floors of spectacular views - with construction completed in 1977.  I work on the 21st Floor... with a view facing west  towards English Bay. 

The photographer who took this picture, could have picked a nicer day.... mind you, Vancouver does have its share of rainy days as shown but we do have its share of sunny beautiful days as well.

So if you ever find yourself downtown, look for the building with the big orangey-red "S" on top of this skyscraper, and say, "Hey, I know someone who works there.... on the 21st Floor.... sitting at reception, working 9 to 5..."

This one's my photo taken during the Olympics February 2010
