Assam Brook

Our office for Assam Brook is right on Shakespeare Sarani, up on the 9th floor of number 1. It is a busy part of town, and being this high up gives us a bit of a break from the honking and the crowds down on the street. The building is older, so the elevator can be a bit of a wait during the lunch hour when everyone is trying to get out at the same time. We’ve got a good amount of space here, though it’s mostly filled with desks and stacks of paperwork that never seem to get smaller. It’s a quiet environment for the most part, except when the phones start ringing all at once. We’ve been here for quite a while, and the walls are covered with old calendars and some photos from company outings years ago. We don’t have any of those fancy open-plan designs; it’s just a regular office where everyone has their own spot. The 9th floor gets some wind, so you can hear it whistling a bit when the weather turns bad. We usually start the day early before the city gets too loud. It’s a lot of routine work, checking on things and making sure the accounts are in order. We aren't trying to be anything we're not. We just show up, do the work that needs doing, and head home when the sun goes down.
