Now I will show the generation of that great FLOORPLAN (or rather, to speak more reverently, of that mortal god (attached)) to which we owe, under the immortal God, our peace and defense.
Again, men have no pleasure, but on the contrary a great deal of grief, in keeping company where there is no CUBICLE to overawe them all. So it is that in the nature of OPEN OFFICES we find three principal causes of quarrel: first, competition; secondly, diffidence; thirdly, glory.
In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building (and so no BIDET); no arts; no letters; no society; and, which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent layoffs; and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
For as the nature of foul weather lies not in a shower or two of rain but in an inclination thereto of many days together, so the nature of an OFFICE lies not in actual working but in the known disposition thereto during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is VACATION.
