Office Chatter

Before I started at Euroffice, I used to be a store manager in a high street shop. In my earlier job I spent a lot of time on my feet; here I spend most of my time sitting down. It was quite a big change and I started looking for ways to make myself more comfortable,  so that I didn’t keep going home looking like I'd d been sitting in front of a television for 24 hours straight.

When I was  a child my parents had a home office, a mysterious room that my brother and I weren't supposed to go into into. Of course, as typically curious, rebellious and cheeky kids, whenever we were left to our own devices we went straight for the office, opening drawers and climbing under the desk. Hitting the keys on the keyboard, dialling numbers on the phone and pretty much just snooping – being very careful, if we moved anything, to put it back in place. 

In the current economic climate (man, I hate that phrase) more and more people are deciding to set up their offices at home. The advantages are pretty clear: no more brief-but-intimate introductions to the armpits of strangers on the Tube, more flexible working hours and a much tastier lunch are just a few.  I even tried it myself once -  with London brought to a standstill by snow earlier in the year, I had no choice but to go about my day’s work in the safe, warm confinement of my tiny bedroom.

Dear Readers,

I have a confession to make. My father ordered a new chair from a company that's not Euroffice. 
(I know you're horrified, but he acted before he could be stopped, which sounds intentionally dramatic.)
