Doh!

In many ways, the data center in which I work is still under construction and a work in progress. A couple of days ago, I noticed extra parking lot lighting being installed and some work being done along the west side, adding lighting to the parkette outside the lunch room.

Today, however, I noticed that someone installed plastic wall-mounted sign holders on the inside of the men's room door. At first, it struck me as rather silly: (1) it's too high for anyone of average height to read comfortably, and (2) anyone pausing to read news displayed there is going to get whacked with the door by someone entering.

After I returned to my cube, I realized the really stupid aspect of the new sign holder: it still contains the original Staples sales insert.

It is probably going to contain some sort of public health (wash your hands!) or occupancy (one person in a stall at a time please!) notice that they figure no one will read anyway.

I think it would be a great location to put a graphic of our ever-decreasing stock value. :-(
