After spending the summer in Santa Monica, I forgot that things get dark and dreary in winter. It’s annoying to see the sun go down and know that you still have hours of work, but at least I get to enjoy a few minutes of sunset each day. Here are a few pictures I’ve taken from my office in the past few weeks.

First, here is a picture of Santa Monica and Venice. It’s not much, but I love it.

It’s been pretty foggy the past few weeks, which occasionally looks cool.

Okay, okay, here are the sunset pictures.

My favorite:

My last post showed you my home office. Here are a few pictures of my real one. It’s getting painted this weekend and then I’ll put up the poster and other artwork (tbd). But I finally had the furniture rearranged today — the bookshelves used to be side-by-side under the window — so it’s ready enough for public viewing.

One of the nice things about LA law firms is that they don’t have facetime requirements. You still have to work a bunch, but sometimes you can do it from home. Since I pay a small fortune to live in my apartment, I’m trying to leave the office relatively early and come do a few hours of work here. Which is why I finally cleared out our living room nook to set up an office space. I have two monitors (one of which is my laptop screen), lots of desk space, and a paper lamp supported by a desk chair. We just need some art above the desk and it will be perfect.
