118/365: Tall buildings
I've spent quite a bit of time in London this week. It's only 26 minutes away by train but "going in town" feels like an event.
I happened to be in the Chancery Lane area to collect some contact lenses so I took a picture of the former BT International building where I spent two happy years a long time ago.
When I first pitched up at BT, having moved from Devon and a fun radio job, I didn't think I could bear it. I was in a huge room filled with people but strangely silent, the hum of conversation muted along with the air conditioning.
I wondered at lunchtime, that first day, if I could chain myself to the Mirror Group Newspapers building, which was opposite, until they gave me a job (MGN having been my first employer.)
But I quickly adapted to live at BT and look back on it with very fond memories.
