Even though it might have taken the best view in the office, I'm glad it's there. In our old building, everyone would smoke at their desks and in the conference rooms so that years of smoke build-up left the office looking dingy and nicotine stained. The office was absolutely ugly and it was embarrassing to even bring clients there. Now at least all the smoke is concentrated in one small room.
I love how Tully`s handles it by having that `fishbowl` for the smokers. It`s funny to watch the reaction of the oyaji when they realize they have to be relegated to the back room behind all the glass.
I personally think that smoking rooms like that in workplaces should require the users to dress in disposable paper suits before they go in, because their clothing will carry significant amounts of smoke particles with them.
kamome wrote:Totally. But everyone has to go in to the smoking room at some point if they want to hear all the office gossip. That's where the real shit goes down.
That's what tcpdump is for.

Sorry, could you enlighten those of us who are technically challenged about tcpdump? Not being an IT guy, I have no idea what that is (but it sounds like a cool way to pick up office gossip).

So, tcpdump is a program for Unix-based PCs like Linux or FreeBSD. If you are running a Windoze box, you can use Windump instead.
otherwise you'd get a whole screen full of nothing.
So, what I was insinuating here (and Bucho Kamome didn't get)...
