Campus New York

I enter the "campus" for the first time. Corporate headquarters. Glass walls, parking deck, CEO parking spaces. This is not a bank. Not a law firm. Not conservative. Oh no.

There are bright yellow walls. Primary colours -- you know, red, green, blue -- everywhere. Furnishings out of the Jetsons. In the middle of a light-filled atrium there are beach umbrellas over office cubicles.

This place is funky.

I'm taken down to the cafeteria. It is a palace of whole foods, freshly made. Coffee. Fruit salad. Cereal (both hot and cold). Smoothies.

(Holy cow!)

I have entered another world.
