Flower Power

This being February 14th, Valentine's Day, I'm sure the flower shop guy above is doing brisk business. I was tempted to buy myself some red roses so I could photograph them. You never know when you'll need a picture of a dozen red roses or Valentines themed pictures. However, my thrifty side won and plus I was busy at work, so I resisted and didn't make the purchase. The flower stand owners probably jack up the price on V-Day anyhow. Other Valentine's Day images include a picture of a Valentine's card, a box of heart-shaped chocolates and rings.

Some people hate Valentine's Day. There is even an anti-Valentine's Day movement with greeting cards and all. By the way, I found this little video spoken in a jaunty British accent that's relevant for the topic of the day.


How To Survive Valentine's Day If You Are Single

First day

Today I spent my first whole day in the S.F. office. Most of the work was administrative in nature, but it's time consuming nonetheless. There are so many emails to stay on top of, new systems to learn, trainings to go through, structures and people to familiarize yourself with.

That's why my photo taking had to be fleeting and discreet. Generally, I like to take multiple pictures and select the best one. In the photo you see the commons area on the 17th floor. Being up that high you have unparalleled views of the SF Bay. Other perks include free Flavia coffee, a flat screen TV, and an informal book sharing nook.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who observe the day!
