A quiet day at the office



Can you picture an office that has recently been refurbished from a mid-1970s to an early 1990s standard of decor?

If you listen closely, can you hear the click of laptop keyboards, the tap of fingers on calculators, the ting of the crap, unreliable lifts and the clack of a biro being dropped onto a wood-effect desk?

If you listen more closely still, can you hear the secretaries discussing what they're going to order from Tesco online later, in between the occasional whirring of a printer in the middle distance?

Can you see the collection of dusty cheap golf trophies sitting abandoned on the top of a filing cabinet and the fading World Cup results chart pulled out of some tabloid weeks ago, and now clinging limply to a flimsy dividing wall?

Welcome to my world.
