My boss is a big believer of Feng shui. He actually hired someone to check our office and did what was recommended. This feng shui expert even asked me about my birthday. I guess I am not a bad omen since I am still here.
My office is huge - its me and 3 other staff all with desks, computers and the like. Our layout has been changed quite a few times. We used to all face the door with the windows behind us. This was changed since according to the feng shui expert supposedly we shouldn't face the door. Also, that our backs shouldn't be in front of any electronics. Hence, our computers face each other too. The photocopying machine and fax machine were also placed in a different room because we cannot have too many office equipment near us. Bad for our health or something. Good thing, both are just across the hall so its still accessible. So now we all face each other, with our backs to the walls and the windows and door on each side. I like this set-up especially when its spring. I see the mountains even a bit far, the sun, the skies, people and cars. It doesn't feel gloomy and dark. Its actually light. Plus, I have some light when I come to work early and the timer isn't ready to turn on our lights. Another reason why I like this set-up is because I have a clear view of my entire staff. I know when they are working or just pretending to be. I also don't have to stand up if I need to ask a question.
I thought this was done but then one of the windows is directly in front of the door, so to counteract that, plants were placed near the windows. No complain from me. Its nice to have other living things in the room. BUT, the past few weeks, there have been bugs flying around. They are not really harmful or what but they bug, no pun intended. They are annoying when they hover all over you when you have a deadline to catch (or a blog to finish
) I don't like the smell of insecticide so I guess I just have to contend myself with swatting them away from me. Bugs, I can deal with, rocking the "yin-yang" of the whole room, nope.
