Do you all actually work at MN Towers?

26 replies

VivaLeBeaver · 13/11/2011 22:22

or do you work from home? What about weekends and through the night?

Surely in these days of the Internet you can work from home? But I think I'd be disappointed to know that MN is being looked after by one of you via a laptop on the sofa while watching Corrie.

I want it to be in a real tower, it probably isn't though

Memoo · 13/11/2011 22:25

Please don't tell me there's no tower!!!

That would just ruin it for me Sad

TheSkiingGardener · 13/11/2011 22:33

I wasn't sure whether to read that as questioning their location or their dedication

I mean, surely with a place as stuffed with biscuits as MN towers, working would be quite low down the priority list?

LadyDamerel · 13/11/2011 22:34

There are interiors shots on the MN FB page....

Fo0ffyShmooffer · 13/11/2011 22:36

Oh there's a tower. And The Techs are chained up in the dungeon. Justine rules in the style of Queen Elizabeth (Miranda Richardson not the real one) beheading at will. We're all on the list.

QuintessentialShadow · 13/11/2011 22:37

I thought this was going to be a deeply philosophical thread.

As in, are all you posters actually working for mnhq, and have created a fictitious online forum, just for my benefit.

That would be so cool. That would be..... Total Recall.

TuftytheBetrayer · 13/11/2011 22:39

There are no towers. You are meant to believe there are though. It's a symbol. They are all wearing dressing gowns and siting on sofas. They eat crisps. They eat chocolate. They have children. They speak. They are real. They go to the office also. There are no towers. I'm sorry.

crazynanna · 13/11/2011 22:39

I live 10 mins away Wink

Valpollicella · 13/11/2011 22:41

They do venture out of the towers, I know that for sure. I've met Justine twice Grin

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/11/2011 22:42

Isn't one of the techs over the pond?

Confused

I have a picture of the towers on my profile.

QuintessentialShadow · 13/11/2011 22:43

Actually, the truth is that they are all working from Battersea powerstation.

QuintessentialShadow · 13/11/2011 22:44

And they have a tower each. Wink This is why it is Towers, not Mumsnet Tower in singular (some of them have to share a tower)

I think some of 'them'even walk their dogs. It does happen. I walk our dog and I've never met one of 'them' so there may be no truth in that.

TuftytheBetrayer · 13/11/2011 22:46

Is biscuits and gin ok as a staple diet?
Wouldn't they get cold at Battersea Quintessential-there's no roof.

That way they can better smoke out the trolls. With Sulphur.

TuftytheBetrayer · 13/11/2011 22:52

I like how it says "much of the sulphur was removed". Not all of it. A little bit of sulphur is fine.

QuintessentialShadow · 13/11/2011 22:53

Yes, especially in eggs.

VivaLeBeaver · 13/11/2011 23:06

No I meant location not dedication. Grin

I know there's an actual office as I have seen a photo ages ago. But was wondering if maybe that was actually justines spare bedroom that carrie had a desk in in the corner. And that everyone else like helenmn worked from their own dining room table and theyd never actually met each other.

And could I have a job at MN towers even though I dont live in London. I have a laptop, I can work from my sofa.

I think they live in a glittery palace with elves and fairies.

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 14/11/2011 16:21

It is a profiterole tower. Each MNHQ person has a wee choux casing of their very own.

Caniavan imaginary job too? I will be firm but fair.

I like Quint's theory. It's like the Truman show - your entire life is actually an internet chat forum - only who is Truman Burbank and who are the actors?
(I could give you a proper answer but it would be so dull...)
