Office Corner

Somebody's Place
It's not so much the corner office I want. It's the one corner of an office where people collaborate. I want a place at the table, or on the sofa, in the space where creativity explodes.

Ideas dart out from the creative huddle like cartoon arrows. Most are waved away, dismissed as done befores, not quite its, or cool but impossible due to laws of physics and such.

Then somehow, someone hits upon The Idea. It might rise vaguely over the group in the first half hour of discussion. It might come after months of emails, research, and sketches. One of the group members might dream it. But there it is. Now the work begins. Sometimes we'll lead The Idea, and sometimes we'll follow it, to a destination we can only imagine at this point.
