Week 11

1.) The plain wooden desk was a solid build. White sloppy papers covered almost every surface as if it had never been organized. The intoxicating sent of coffee still brewed in the stale dry office air. The rain pitter pattered on the cold dark window but the air inside the building was very still. The aggravating sound of the cheap plastic analog clock ticking on the wall made time seem to pass extremely and overwhelmingly slow. The background noise was dominated by the noisy traffic racing down the adjacent busy road and the seemingly never ending ring from a telephone a few desks down. It was nearing five o'clock on a dull November Friday and only a few cars remained in the empty wet parking lot.

2.) The desk at the reception was cluttered. Nobody ever seemed to want to organize it. The commotion from the usual office afternoon had dimmed to a dull buzzing. It wasn't very nice outside, just drizzle and fog. It was nearing December so the daylight was beginning to disappear quicker, making the job just that much more boring. There was only a few cars left in the parking lot, people seem to scatter like ants after the last meeting on Fridays. There was a constant sound of traffic from a busy road nearby and the clock was constantly ticking. There was a few other desks in eyesight distance from the reception chair, however they were all empty, leaving an unbearable silence in the air.

3.)The desk at reception always seemed to be cluttered. Its surface was covered with everything from coffee stained folders to fed ex bubble wrap packaging. The rain fell hard from the sky upon the dark black ash fault outside the office but the air inside was kept dry and irritably warm this time of year. The sound of telephones ringing had fallen from a loud roar to a dull buzzing and the printer finally toke a break. The daytime stress and the coffee breath stench evacuated the building with the majority of the employees. It was nearing five o'clock and everybody likes to leave early on Fridays, after all, it is a rock n' roll radio station.
