Life in a corporate aquarium didn't go swimmingly
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Hamish" who sent a story recalling a time when his company hired a temporary workspace for a project.
"It was a fairly old-style office with a glassed off inner office," he told Who, Me?
This column has worked in similar environments, where such offices were derisively described as an "aquarium."
Hamish and his colleagues quite liked the aquarium.
"We enjoyed its sound-proof interior," he wrote.
It also made him mischievous.
