  1. I couldn’t help myself — I looked at her office again — even the Army wouldn’t buy that stuff. Same horrible crap on her office chairs. Rugs don’t match anything and manage to conflict with each other. Fake books on top of her credenza; a set of red books — an encyclopedia? — or leather bound Christie mysteries? What are the polished wavy sticks for? Argh — we paid for this stuff?

  2. Most of us could remodel Peters’ current office from Goodwill and Salvation Army in much better taste for a couple hundred dollars. Not even sure any of the thrift stores would take those chairs. They look like rejects from an Army depot. As for the tv, what on earth does any manager need a tv in their office for?
