The ‘Memories of office life’ articles on The Guardian are not great. ‘For the past five years, I’ve been “working from boat”, sailing in a crystal Mediterranean sea, with turtles nibbling at my anchor. Sounds fun. It’s not. I miss the office.’This is the dream: Full Quincy. |

I should be talking to the consultant on January 27th on the phone. Should be ...
