My temporary corporate shack

For the month of January, they put me up in this high rise apartment right along the shore of the Hudson - overlooking NYC. The most stereotypical moment was the first night I was there - I wanted to get some pizza delivered in, as I had no food. I went down and talked to the doorman, named Vinny or Geno or something, and told him I wanted to order pizza...thinking he could offer a recommendation. "You mean, you want to order a pie?" said the rotund gentleman. "Sure, a pie..." I said. Thus started the adventure.

The place had a pretty nice view of midtown Manhattan, and was fully furnished. I think if I wanted to live here year round the rent would be about $3,500 a month. I'm pretty sure you could buy KG's mansion on Lake Minnetonka for $3,500 a month...
I pulled the table over by the window, and setup a little home office...even if it was only for a few weeks. Figured it'd be the only time I'd have a corner office with a window looking out at the Empire State Building.
I'll put up some pictures of my new new place when I get all moved in and setup.

So I visited your company's website. They make working in genetics look like modeling for Ralph Lauren. Have you met any of those RNA models they flaunt on their website?

Peace
