I just noticed today at work that I wasn't noticing things around me quite as much. This will sound silly but I always like the music they play in our bathroom at work. I got almost all the way out of the bathroom today and realized that I hadn't been paying attention to the music, though it could have been because I didn't like what was playing.
It made me a little sad to think that I have been noticing the fun little things around the office less. I mean, we have our logo projected onto the ground on my floor which I like walking over and around, a pool table, shuffleboard table, this popcorn cart that shows up in different places (but you can always find it as you just have to follow the wonderful aroma of fresh-popped, buttery popcorn), a few toy cars and other props that were used in ads, funky light fixtures galore, and many other things (including flowers on the sink in the bathroom that get changed out periodically). I like that stuff and I think it's fun that we have it in our office...I just may not appreciate it as much now since I see it every day.
It's interesting that I thought of that today because I was reading an article earlier that talked about doing things to help your memory. One was changing up your routine, such as taking a different way to work, just so that your mind makes new connections instead of just relying on what is familiar. I guess this blog post kind of helps bring those special things about the office to the forefront and think about them in a fresh way. (Oh, and reading and writing helps your memory too.)
