The office has moved to a more glamorous and prestigious location (adjectives come from the boss). In practice that means my working place is just behind the border between Helsinki and Espoo which will double the monthly ticket expense to a stupefying 80€! Also the infrastructure is minimal since there are just highways around – no shops, supermarkets or restaurants. Everyone is condemned to the SodexHo cafeteria downstairs of the building which offers tasteless, low quality food for a minimum of 8.20€ per meal.
The office itself is again in the fashionable nowadays “open” style which means that everyone can control what the others have on their computer screens. I’m in a better position this time as I got a place in the corner, behind a glass partition. My seat is on the picture below the first one from the right.
The curiosity about this place are the automatic window shades. As the 8th floor view from the windows was supposed to be the highlight of this new location it is only ironic that the light-sensitive shade system covers the windows automatically whenever there’s enough light outside to see anything. Which in practice means most of the day (as can be seen on the photo). It’s also quite scary that in winter, when most of the time it’s dark, the shades will immediately close whenever theres a rare moment of sunshine.
