You know that hovering you do where you open our office door and lean in to suggest that you really don’t want to disturb us but will just stand chatting with us half-in/half-out of the doorway with your hand on the door handle so as not to intrude? (It’s a bit like that funny little hop-and-skip you do when you cross the road in front of traffic to suggest that you are hurrying but aren’t actually crossing any quicker).
Here’s the thing – it doesn’t work. We’re either just as . .
- disturbed or
- pleased to see you as if you actually come in and close the door behind you.
What it does do very well on a cold day is let all of our expensively-produced heat, which keeps us snug and cosy as we labour at our screens, vanish out the open door forever.
Whilst it’s nice to share the good things in life, we’re a selfish bunch and prefer knowing our office is 8 degrees warmer rather than the rest of the planet .0000000000010 warmer.
So . .
PLEASE COME IN AND CLOSE THE DOOR! Thank you.
