Moving moving...

So finally its confirmed that we are moving. The new place is under renovation right now. Went for a briefing the other day and well, rules rules rules. There are like thousand and one rules in the new work place. But well, as we all know, most s'poreans are super civic minded. Thus, these rules are already part and parcel of us. Nothing much to be astonished about. But of course the foreigners were a little taken back.

The new level will be hosting almost 400 of us. With glass door discussion rooms which can hold up to about 7 to 8 ppl at a go, huge meeting rooms, breakout area -with 2 microwave ovens, fridge, water tap for both hot and cold water (means there is no need to boil water already.), dinning area, high table (al, want to come over my side? there's high table for u to stand and work..hee hee) and a open area for smoking. Hmm...seems like a lot of IT ppl here smokes.

Bad part is that my dept is going to be at the real far end. Ther last part of the area. Meaning, every morning i'll have to walk about 100 metres to my destination. Hopefully the aircon is gonna be strong else i'll be melting. Walk walk walk, finally to the desk. Semi transparent partition? U can see ur neighbour but u can't see wat he is doing. Here comes the part which i'm curious to find out. That's under the table. From what i can imagine from the briefing session, under table seems to be miraculously big. The CPU is not gonna be placed on the floor. It will be placed under the table behind the build in cabinets. In a position hidden by the naked eye yet the power on button is visible to the eye. Thats like..Hmmm..well, no files to be on the table. All files must be hidden under the table. There is another cabinet on the other side of the table to neatly keep out barangs. If there isn't sufficient space, there are the cabinets for every individuals to use.

Finally, why so many cabinets? Well, cos according to the person, we IT ppl tends to be very messy. Wires all over the place, papers all over. Already over here, we dun even shred our own confidential papers. We just dump into the store and the employ 3rd parties to shred. So new place, new rules - basically to keep the neat look in the place. Lets hope my bee hive will have 2 other ppl whom i'm familar with. Well, the positioning are in cluster of 3s.
