I'll be out back

When the great architectural critics look back in history at the great architectural wonders of our time, I'm reasonably sure the back door area of an industrial park office on the edge of town isn't going to garner much attention.

But that doesn't mean that scenes like this aren't somehow worthy in their own way.

We've all worked somewhere at some point in our lives. Probably many somewheres, if we're fortunate enough. And along the way we all need an escape or two, a break from the day-to-day, a moment to ourselves where we can just get away and disconnect.

This particular spot reinforces the fact that not all employee amenities will be worthy of a magazine cover - or, it seems, garbage removal.

And yet, long after the last worker has left the drab concrete neighborhood for the day, the break area out back remains a spot that, to me, anyway, deserves to be frozen in time.

Because we've all been here, even if our particular version of "here" may have been half a world away.
