Living in the city, man, it's a bit different! The office itself is, well, an office! It's a nice environment, generally more casual than where I worked before, which of course is great and much appreciated. The view from the 24th floor, also quite different! Through the windows on our floor, I can see in basically all directions except west, since there's a building taller than ours next door, and I can't see through buildings... yet.
For a bit of difference yesterday, my coworker opened up the window, and for a few hours, it was as though we were just floating on a magic cloud, high above the streets of Midtown. The sound was a nice mixture of natural street sounds, the occasional siren, and just generally soothing. So different than the rumbling air ducts of old. Occasionally the whirring of the elevator filters through, which sounds kind of like futuristic blender.
What does your workplace sound like? Is it just an office, or do you get to enjoy a nice mix of sound?
