Refurbishing the Office no comments
At work today, our office was abuzz. For weeks now, we knew that today would be the main sprucing up day, the day of replacing, of cleaning, of freshening. But I don’t think anyone expected it to be as hectic as it was. Not only have we been changing things around, moving things, selling things, updating things. Needless to say it has been a hectic day. People have been running in and out, speeding around sorting things out and taking things from one place to another, and it has been difficult to find time to breathe, really. Some of the people I don’t think even work with us … they were brought in, I suppose, to help out, because someone cleverly anticipated the madness.
I think I can live with the madness, though. It was much needed. The fax machines have gone, and new models will be brought in to replace them.
The computers have gone, too, and they, will be replaced. Indeed, the computers were most in need of replacing. They were not only big and bulky, but incredibly slow; sometimes so slow that you couldn’t very easily run Word, or other such programs, without a tremendous amount of waiting around.
Our very dated phones have already been replaced by cordless phones that, in my opinion, are pretty swish.
Yes, everything has been updated, or changed, or replaced. The only thing that hasn’t are the desks and the shelves … even the folders, I think, are new. Most of the office equipment is new. And already, even though the revamping project isn’t complete just yet, it’s making a difference. It’s certainly a lot nicer working in an environment that isn’t painstakingly slow, or loud, or untidy.
