Environmental concerns

[larryhammer]

The bathrooms in my new office building are all chrome + grey-and-brown flagstones. My cubical is beige and tan and muted orange, with overhead indirect lighting. The cafeteria -- which won't start service till next year -- has black-rubberized metal chairs and speckle-topped tables with curvy bases.

I feel like I'm working in a trendy bistro. Only without the benefit of, yanno, good food.

Is one of the characteristics of trendy bistros that you have to wait two months for your food? No wonder I'm not faddish.

Uh, you know why the bathrooms are brown, right? (runs off giggling)

Well the only thing to do is get one of those fancy makes-only-one-cup-at-a-time coffeemakers, and I guess start getting facials or something. Holy and cow! Your new digs sound very swanky and masculine. Maybe just to throw the feng shui off, or on perhaps, you should add a Hello, Kitty! or Choco Cat somewhere just to, throw all of the controlled sleek neutralness off a bit!

If by "masculine" you mean "under construction, and with movers schlepping furniture and boxes all over," yeah.

I'm trying to soften the place with papercrafts -- I'd built up a backlog of origami-a-day calendar pages.

I'd be so tempted to invest in a new wardrobe all in bright neon colors.

I need to replenish my stock of Hawaiian shirts, anyway.

The shops on 4th Ave had some great ones a few years back. Yay vintage shops. :)

Pretty buildings, no food and all the rage here. 'Newly' discovered part of town, construction, whoops forgot about the infrastructure part.

At least they didn't forget the network cabling!

We get that a lot in our outer ring of developments -- sometimes the nearest grocery store and other services can be a few miles away from the packed solid square mile of houses.
