The Office

For many years my work largely involved sitting at a desk, in front of a computer, with a phone to my ear, in an anonymous office block rather like this. I saw this brightly lit block this evening, and it reminded me of all those months when I was sitting in the office, pitch black outside, and still a couple of hours to go before I could look forward to going home.

In this office (probably constrained by health and safety rules or budget limitations) there don't even appear to be any seasonal decorations to relieve the ordinariness* of the surroundings. I'm not sorry to that I don't have to put up with that every day now.
