Yesterday was one of those days that made me take a minute to think how much I really appreciate my job. Besides the fact that the weather was absolutely beautiful, which made it a perfect day to be out and about in New York City, I had two very successful and educational appointments.
My first stop was to the recently renovated office of an investment firm, located in a Lexington Avenue skyscraper and boasting a large wall of glass windows that offered sprawling views of Manhattan. A co-worker and I met with a fabricator from New Jersey who had furnished the reception desk out of Danby marble and Glassos® -- a crystal white material made of pure white crystallized glass and described as the "closest substitute for Thassos White marble." He explained that the pure white material, which was used to form both corners of the elaborate desk, was the ideal complement to the slab of Danby marble that forms the face of the desk because it didn't compete with it.
