Several times in the last couple of months, I have had the fortune… misfortune?.. stupidity? of being at the office REALLY REALLY early…and REALLY REALLY REALLY late… I am trying to convince the company that bunk beds would be a good idea for those of us that practically live at work… but anyways back on topic…

I work in the JHB CBD in a building on Simmonds street… and if you spend enough time in the building you realise that the building is alive…

My parking lot opens at 05:30am, before then you have to press a buzzer which sets off what can be best described as a doomsday siren.. the kind of thing you hear in World War 2 movies….the siren leads to a very grumpy looking security guard stumbling out and opening the gate..but that is a whole story in itself…

The revolving doors on the side entrances open at 6am…and believe me you want to wait for 6am or you will be faced with a very very long walk around to the main entrance….Walking in at 6am has some other perks you get to see the fountains come on…(Im a sucker for fountains, they somehow seem very peacefull evenin the middle of a chaotic building). Last but not least are the lights which also switch on with clockwork prescision at 6am.

Of course for the true and honorable members of “The Losers Club” … nothing beats the moment when the white noise stops

My Building has what I can best describe as white-noise-generating-machines, I guess during the day it helps keep things quieter, you would never know it’s there unless you are there once it switches off – very creepy yet odly relaxing!

Now all that is really required are some bunkbeds…or maybe those new leather couches on the newly renovated floor… they are probably a better idea especially when the lights go out…
