minimal security prison or Starbucks

If you’re going to be stranded somewhere when your car doesn’t work, you could do a lot worse than a Starbucks. Drink. Food. Music. Comfy chair. Internet access (well, okay, only if you pay for it – $5 for a drink and the cheap b*stards won’t give free access *grr*). Truthfully, aside from the lack of Internet (and I think I might have been able to pick up the next door McDonald’s access) I would have rather stayed there than go to work this morning! 😉

On the more serious side… perhaps setting up the work environment a little more “friendly” would make a big difference. It’d be cool to walk into my own offices and see everyone working in a laid back, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing environment. Ever notice how the president of the company’s office looks more like a home den? I’m guessing if the whole building looked more like that, though, then he wouldn’t feel special or like he was in power over the masses… Oh well, for the rest of us we still have broken cars in front of Starbucks.
