Driven to Work

9:49 PM / Posted by Mariel /


On my way to Serafina on Sunday I walked past this guy and couldn't help going back to ask him about this way too intiguing "mobile office"—in its most literal sense.

Me: "Um, excuse me, may I take your picture?"
Guy: [nodding nonchalantly] "Sure."
Me: "Thanks. So, what work do you do here?"
Guy: [really wanting me to go away, now] "I'm a freelance writer and editor."
Me: "Oh my gosh! Me too! But I don't have this office."

I managed to squeeze out a name (Stefan) who mentioned that on weekends, this was where he conducted work. According to a friend, she's seen him parked near where she worked. So I guess this guy's pretty serious about this whole writing-on-weekends-on-the-mobile-office kind of thing. Flowers, desk lamp, stapler, and all.

Hahaha, you're right! That concern is very New York :) I wonder if his home office is as groovy... He makes me want to buy flowers for my desk ;)

Hi Lally oops I pressed reject on the comment you left. But yes, flowers are wonderful especially on those kinds of days!

That's so cool. *O*

I doubt I can fit my stuff in a car like that. XD

Good thing he didn't object to your taking his pic! :P
