When we started the hiring frenzy, we initially had to "double up" in our already space challenged offices. Once those were all full, we had to create what we affectionately call "cubicle row". Have successfully filled any available hall space with temporary walls and adorning them with hanging computer and telephone cords, we then had to go back the offices to see if there were one or two that could possible hold a third person. Now the building is a maze of wall, offices, people, file cabinets and Xerox machines. When guests enter our space they are always amazed at just how many bodies we've managed to cram in here!
Today, I interviewed two new hires. I have no idea where they'll end up in here. It kind of reminds me of that old Marx Brother's movie - the one where they are on the ocean liner and they're in the tiniest state room ever. Then, in comes the maid, the plumber, the masseuse, the manicurist, the maintenance man, room service and someone looking for her Aunt Minnie. As I recall, the room didn't hold up in the end and they all came violently spilling out into the hallway.
I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen here. Either that or the ceiling is gonna blow!
