Day One in the NOP office and it’s been quite an adventure! Nick handed me the office keys today. “Treat the place like it’s yours,” he said, which I took as both a compliment and a challenge.
There’s something faintly magical about this office — the old glass panels, the hum of the printer like a sleeping creature, the faint scent of burnt coffee and ambition. I logged into the website CMS and felt the way an apprentice might when first handed the master’s wand.
Within an hour, I’d found the “theme editor.” Within two hours, I’d changed the background colour to something called “cosmic aubergine.”
Nick walked in, saw it, and said, “Julian, bold choice.” I beamed. The power felt good. The fonts shimmered. The buttons glowed. The whole site seemed to hum.
Tomorrow, I’ll see what else I can conjure.
