My New Office

I have been running our new Surplus Sam's store on Victoria Drive for over a year now and have finally gotten around to setting up my office. The only room left on the main floor for an office is about 4.5 ft wide and about 14 feet long. It has no windows, but it does have a great big skylight at one end of the room. It is (or was) small, dingy, dirty, boring, unpleasant, and located in a hidden corner of the store. Now I think I have gotten rid of the dinginess and dirtiness by giving it a good paint job and installing a nice built-in corner desk. I made the desk with an old display table cut down the middle and bolted to the wall at about the height of a kitchen counter. Nice and high so that I am not tempted to slouch down at my desk and snooze, but instead I am nearly standing when I sit at the desk in my nice bar-chair. The desk is only 18inches wide, but the room is small, and I am fastidiously tidy, so that is all I need.
I didn't think very long on the colour scheme for my office. It took me by surprise. I basically walked in and out of Home Depot in 12 minutes (it took 10 min to mix the paint). I asked the salesperson what the cheapest brand of paint was and then scanned my finger across the colour charts for about 5 seconds before choosing a very dark chocolate brown for the walls. Except it didn't look chocolate brown because of the glare of the fluorescent lights - it looked more grey/ochre. Needless to say, my shock was paramount when I started rolling it on. However, since waste is evil, I decided it would have to do. I chose Flat Black floor paint for the ugly cement floor, and I think I am happy with it, which is good because it wasn't cheap.
I finished the painting today and decided that despite how extremely dark the room now is, I actually really like it. I will get some pictures for the wall, and then I will begin growing a bonsai jungle, and I think the green and brown will go together quite naturally, naturally.
Now I will finally have a place to get some real office work done - no longer will I try to do my office work on the cash computer, with Jonny, Christine, Dianne, Lynn, Kuda, etc... tripping all over me because I am right in their way, and customers deciding that since I am present and I am the manager, they would like me to give "the best price"... and so on.
