Since we moved to the new office, there has been quite a few “improvements” happening in the kitchen area that brought quite a bit of distraction.
First of all, a new coffee machine was installed last week. Yes, one of those where you click a button and out comes a cappuccino.
Hmm. Yum! Then on Monday someone came and installed this onto the wall at the kitchen area:
It is a 42 inch LG plasma TV! And we watched Family Guy on the big plasma during lunch time. Talking about distraction! However, big plasma TV cannot reach its full usefulness without this:
That is a Xbox 360 by the way, with Dead or Alive 4. However it has only one controller at the moment but the rumour is that another is on the way. I am sure Dead or Alive can help a lot on making decisions in the office, besides its obvious productivity boosting :)
@.@, first time I see xbox(or ps, or Nintendo) at work place. do u allow to bring your own games?
wow wow wow! those are really distractions!! I know some (IT) companies have video games on their offices. We have TV with Foxtel @ work, but people just too busy to turn on the TV (except maybe for cricket matches …)
Hem Is there any job vacancy at ur office at the moment?haha look so good
Sorry we are looking for software developers but not Xbox testers :) Too bad the TV and Xbox is sitting there idle most of the time because, hey, most people are actually “working” during work hours.
