@Gargron peaceful place

@Gargron you can be invisible #HP

@Gargron looks like a library to me!

@Gargron I've done some videography work for groups at Mayo Clinic before and they have a gigantic library for physicians there that is just beautiful.

(pic not mine, but that's it)

@Gargron work? Can I live there?

@Gargron obviously wizards...

@gargron Yes, I did once, as an undergraduate, a long time ago

@Gargron Could be any number of British pubs.

@Gargron Librarians? 🤔

@Gargron Yuk! To each his own.

@Gargron bad for your back, bad for your butt.

@Gargron So nice, even tranquil.

@Gargron

I’m so sorry for anyone that had to do actual office work there. Can’t be ergonomic.

But if it’s a library or a place to have som good food and a beer, have at it.

@Gargron

@Gargron That's ridiculous. I'm jealous.

@Gargron Splendid! :blobcathappy:

@Gargron Looks gorgeous. But not necessarily comfortable. :grin: Is there a recliner and place to put my glass of wine? 🍷

@Gargron I want something like that to be my cabinet 🙃

@Gargron Looks like a great place to do some deadlifts. Oh, you didn't say "work out here"?

@Gargron
….there is no god…

@Gargron Yeh, but what's the WiFi like? 😉

@Gargron John Rylands do a behind-the-scenes tour as well; I got to do that long ago - it's a nice building!
Welcome to #manchester !

@Gargron wonder what the HVAC is like.

@Gargron 1. Researchers
2-20. The crew who dusts everything.

@Gargron Would be my safe sanctuary. Would NEVER EVER leave that place.

@Gargron My friend works in the Bodleian as a reasearcher. :)

@Gargron yeah, but the dress code is sooooo 18th century

@Gargron ... mostly trying to find the missing copy of the Tractate Middoth.

@Gargron Wonderful, building with some wonderful books

@Gargron And the toilets are sensational - although you will definitely find the two separate taps

@Gargron For the love of #books & #reading, here’s a new volume for your #library 📕

@Gargron Please!

@Gargron

Damn that’s a nice little library space.

There is a public library with similar vibes around here, I need to go pop my laptop open in it more often.

@Gargron I've been there a number of times, incredible building. I saw a magic lantern show there once.

@Gargron they’re called Wizards.

@Gargron

Sign me up I would love to work there

@Gargron

Honestly, though, it's too dark, the chair is hard, the table is too low, there's a distracting side light glare, the whole room is cold, damp and drafty, and you're constantly dodging tourists "ooh"ing and "aah"ing your place of work.

Been there, done that. Give me a functional 80's office building any time.

@Gargron nice

@Gargron The Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland is a work to behold.

@Gargron I know, librarians already have the dream job, now it gets even dreamier!! :owi:

@Gargron Hogwarts?

@Gargron I mean it's fun and all to fantasize but those chairs look uncomfortable as hell and whomever has to work there probably doesn't enjoy it that much.

@Gargron still honeymooning in Morocco?

@Gargron that's the dream

@Gargron I once got to study at a library something like that, the Berenson library at I Tatti in Florence. It was so beautiful that I found it a little difficult to concentrate.

@Gargron Lucky them.

@Gargron

What a nice office to have, free from people's crowded mind. And when you go out after awhile to take a look around you know you don't miss much, human social activities are easy to catch up. 😅🤪😂

@Gargron
🥰 as close to paradise as I'd like to be
