Sauna, TV, palm tree, fridge, no paper work, no computer...

― jel --, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay the sauna is probably not necessary, as I wouldn't use it.

I thought we would all be working from home in a few years' time? In which case: a well stocked fridge / drinks cabinet; sofa + cushions; big telly.

A big posse of badgers, a pig and The Fall would all be essentials in my future office.

― RickyT, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Isn't that a farm, not an office?

― Emma, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you ever seen The Fall on a Farm? I think not!

― RickyT, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think you ought to employ Mark E. Smith in Customer Services.

― MarkH, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had originally intended him to fill the position of 'vocalist' but now you mention it, customer services would suit him rather well.

― RickyT, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes I have actually RickyT so there. Ahem.

― Emma, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

have you ever seen The Farm on a fall?

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Glastonbury and Reading festivals do not count!

― RickyT, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought a Pig and The Fall could only be John Peel's kitchen, myself. Have not yet decided where the badgers come in.

― R, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

John Peel reminds me of a badger.

A touch screen that sits next to a computer monitor, allowing the office dweller to adjust — with the touch of a finger, à la George Jetson — the room temperature, air flow and lighting
I really can't see this catching on. I mean, the vast majority of disputes in offices are about whether lights should be on and off, air conditioning should be on or off etc. If ppl can control it from their desks rather than actually having to get up and so somewhere, then the disputes will get even worse!

five years pass...

In my office of the present, sewage has been backing up each morning overflowing the breakroom sink. My order for the future is pretty much the same thing minus one of these.
