You enter this big hall and see a giant circular table in the middle. A few people are seated around it. You take a seat, subtly glancing at who the others are. They see you, you see them. You wonder whether you should greet them, perhaps tell that casual hi.. the usual small talk; You invariably end up holding the newspaper in front of you looking busy. You eventually get bored of that and plug in your ipod, wearing your fav bands' tee. After killing time for quite a bit, you actually start work... and DING! an irritating old aquaintence starts talking to you. Thats when you contemplate taking that dingy old room, overlooking the hall, next time.
150 million people go through this everyday!
Everytime I sign into gmail and see those little green/red buttons with names next to them I cant help but wonder how it would be, if it was a real place...
