Let's talk about the office in Sector 8. It is usually a bit of a mess with papers everywhere. People drop by at odd hours for various things. We spend a lot of time just staring at site plans and trying to make things work on paper before they ever get built on a lot. It is not a fancy studio or anything like that. We just have a room with some desks and a lot of ink. Sometimes the printer jams and it is a whole ordeal to get it fixed. We deal with contractors who do not show up on time and clients who change their minds three times in a single week. That is just how it goes here at 652. Most days are spent on the phone or driving out to see how things are looking on the ground. Sec-8 is a busy spot, so there is always something happening outside the window. We have been at this address for a while now. You get used to the noise and the way the light hits the drafting table in the afternoon. It isn't about big speeches or grand ideas, just putting bricks and mortar in the right places so the roof doesn't leak. There is always another drawing to finish or a permit to chase down at the municipal office. It is practical, everyday work. If you walk past the B block, you might see us through the glass, usually hunched over a laptop. It is just what we do.
