22 Ways Offices Should Be More Like Primary School

    What this working environment needs is more WordArt.

    1. Office stationery should be swapped out for something more swanky.

    2. All minutes in meetings should be made with scented gel pens.

    3. All powerpoint presentations should be given on OHP projectors.

    4. Forget office away days and trust exercises — bring back this day.

    5. We should go outside and run around in our lunch break.

    6. Meetings should be held sitting in a circle on the floor.

    7. But maybe the older members of the office can sit on a bench.

    8. Also there should be two scheduled break times a day.

    9. Instead of gossiping round the water cooler you could share stories round the mechanical pencil sharper.

    10. Non-uniform day trumps casual Friday everytime.

    11. Every document should have a WordArt header.

    12. And no presentation should be complete without three seemingly random examples of ClipArt.

    13. Office parties should be more like school discos — whoever does the longest knee slide rules the dance floor.

    14. This is how we should decide who to fire.

    15. There should definitely be book fairs, and your mum should definitely have to buy them for you.

    16. It might be nice to get the odd sticker at work now and then.

    17. And maybe the office canteen could serve these for lunch every so often?

    18. All company stash should look like this.

    19. Offices should have some time set aside for craft, mainly so we can all just peel glue off our hands again.

    20. Everybody should play sleeping lions for an hour after lunch.

    21. Six week long summer holidays would also be nice.

    22. But mainly it would be great if we went home at 3:30 PM everyday.
