| The Hunter Building, Robert Stout building tucked in "behind" it in the photo |
I started a new job today. It's in a building that has been a part of my life since I was a teenager.
Back in the summer of 1982/83, I spent weeks making costumes for Romeo and Juliet in Hunter, which was not being used because it was very seismically unstable. By the mid 90s it was strengthened, restored and in use, and I was the person responsible for private hires for conferences, fashion shows and weddings. Then I was in Robert Stout in the Graduate Students Office.
We're in the attic of Robert Stout (refer my crazy red scribble) with opening windows and no lift. It's fabulous. I used to be on Level 2, so I've gone up in the world! I think it would make a fabulous apartment.
Also, today as I was having those intro meetings with project team members explaining how it all works, one was telling me how he got to be there because of the experience he had from his home town in Canada. I asked him where in Canada and he was all, "Oh, nowhere you'd have heard of," but sure enough he is from Saskatoon. My spiritual other home!
Small world, all connections.
Dear Mrs. C.,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hoping the view is lovely and the work interesting. What a treat that you know the area so covered well...a wealth of memory and association.
Very best,
Natalie across the pond
hello! The view is not so good looking out but I don't need the distraction ;-) he windows are dormers with wooden frames painted shiny white. It's really like a fabulous loft apartment, only we work in it :)
