It’s all semiotics. The body language of an entire company.
I’m considering what all this tells me and waiting for someone to collect me. That’s always an awfully apprehensive feeling when you have an interview. The hope of someone grabbing you quickly when you see people approach, then the anticlimax when they walk past, looking at you looking at them and knowing you’re waiting for an interview. One feels exposed and a little foolish.
I’m not here for an interview, however, so at least I can relax, feel my arse go numb in this torturous piece of furniture and look high-powered and dynamic by writing this on my laptop. It seems to me that we spend a great deal of our working life trying to look high-powered and dynamic when, in fact, we’re flawed and a bit foolish.
Or am I simply driven to introspection by this stripped-down corporate purgatory?

The counter-intuitive toilet doors are the product of in-depth health and safety studies. People are more likely to rush into a loo in a hurry than to rush out of one. Toilet doors are the third highest cause of accidents in the office, after photocopiers and stationery cupboards.
Bruv - are you making that up or is there quantitative data that proves these claims?!
Sounds like my dentist's waiting room. Apart from the toilet. Strangely there isn't one.
