This is a typical floor at Telstra’s Exhibition Street Headquaters. Usually it’s hard to find a desk here, the lunchrooms, meeting rooms and lobby are all full, there’s a bit of a wait for one of the twenty lifts and there is a constant stream of people going through the gates. It’s not even this empty in the middle of the night!
Oh and there are 45 floors just like this! Including me, instead of more than a thousand people at “242”, there were like 10 – 20 max, probably the time I most felt the lonleyness of lockdown. It was weird, it’s usually a really chatty place to be in.
