A day on the job.

Hi everyone. I thought I'd give you a virtual tour of what my day is like at my work placement.

First I walk from my flat to Bayswater Station, a few blocks away.
Me walking:

Then I get to the station and go inside.

It takes about half an hour to get to my destination, Farringdon Station.

Then I walk down the street and turn down a small alley-type street, toward the door that leads to the offices inside.

I walk up some stairs after buzzing in, and then walk through these doors.

This is the Duckworth office. Beyond the bookshelfs are desks, which is where I sat on this particular day. The other days I sat in a room that is kind of next to that white pole.



This was my view from my desk this day. Nice.

This day I spent looking for places to sell books. Namely, sex museums and sex toy shops for "Love and Sex With Robots," and global-warming-is-not-real websites for the anti-global warming book "An Appeal To Reason." Hm.


This is the Starbucks I go to for lunch every day, around 1 or 2 pm. There is additional seating downstairs, and I think it's quite cozy to sit and read for an hour while sipping my drink.


After my day, I walk to the Farringdon station at 5:30, or half-five as they say here. The station is pretty busy.


This particular day I got off at Notting Hill Gate station, since I wanted to go to the Waterstone's bookstore on this street.

And that is my day on work placement days.
