One thing I noticed about working here is that the decor is rather unhealthy. I was getting up to go to lunch last Friday and I looked around for my umbrella, because unconsciously I thought it must be overcast and raining outside. It turns out it was rather warm and sunny, but I couldn't see that. Even looking over the sea of cubicles, about a hundred metres to the nearest external windows, I couldn't see sunlight because there were too many tree branches just outside.

Add to that, the air conditioning that keeps the ambient temperature to that of cool day, and the grey concrete ceiling, the colour of an overcast sky.

I'm amazed they don't get mass suicides.
