Tiny explosions
The company I work for has recently purchased an additional floor of our building, and is renovating it to look like the existing two floors already in use. Unfortunately, our company has grown so much recently that we are already occupying this additional floor. This makes for an interesting work environment.
Recently, they are making serious changes to the area behind the back wall of my office. I'm not sure exactly what they're doing since they've done an excellent job of preventing us access to most of the rest of the floor, but I can hear the construction workers throughout the day, breaking things down in order to rebuild them anew.
Today, however, has been the most interesting day for office improvements: They are doing demo work behind my office.
For most of the time I've been at my desk today, the exchange has gone roughly like so:
hammer, hammer
pound pound pound
quiet....
"Fire in the Hole!"
me = :o "OMG o noes!"
*muffled poof*
quiet....
(rinse and repeat every 4 minutes for several hours)
The sad thing is, I took this office on this floor just to get away from some noisy employees near my old cube. Might have liked to know in advance I'd be trading stupid conversations for explosions...
