Things to look forward to
From my very first interview, everyone has told me great and marvelous things about the new building. There will be two kitchens, a book store, break rooms with gorgeous views, libraries where you can sit and read, balconies, and, this was the best part.... every workspace would have natural light.
In a big office building, getting natural light to the inner offices is a big deal.
This past week we all got a video tour of the construction site. The slow tour showed the staircase that would have two sources of natural light, the reception hall and break rooms that would all be flooded with light and then progressed to the board room on the second floor.
The docent very excitedly explained that with the glass along the one side of the board room that you could look down into the large open area on the first floor or even across the way to the Correspondence work stations on the opposite side. And even more thrilled, he went on to say that someone standing in Correspondence could look across the open area, through the board room, and out to the amazing view beyond the building.
At this point my fellow co-worker leaned over and whispered "If we pick our noses, everyone will see."
I had forgotten that one of the key characteristics of a window is that you can see both ways. I guess I have some bad habits that I need to cure in a hurry.
