Another accounting firm. Salaries, taxes, financial operations. Their office spans four floors. A pretty secretary. The task is to replace a leaking condensate drain pipe from the air conditioner. We’re navigating a maze of ducts, false floors, ceilings, and wall panels. It’s like a quest. We need to figure out where this particular pipe leads and where it comes from. There are many air conditioners, and the walls have their own condensate drainage system with pipes, collectors, and pumps. First floor. Hmm, almost all of them are quite nice. Strange for this area. We’re working on the pipe. Aha—it goes up. We head upstairs. Aaa… Now it’s clear. The director’s office. The director is clearly an alpha male, around 55 years old. You can just tell. Although the furniture in the office is modest—just the same particle board as everyone else’s. last The office was run by a terrifying woman, and the staff was just as bad—like they had just stepped off the runway of a horror contest. They were all pretty unsettling.
But it’s still a women’s kingdom here. In the restroom on every floor, on the shelf by the sink, you can find: soap, cream soap, toilet spray, deodorant, hand cream, hairspray, a bottle of hand sanitizer, and some other mysterious stuff.
We took apart a bit of the wall cabinet at Alpha and are heading up to the third floor. Everything is also hidden behind the false panels of the wall cabinets there. We unscrew them. On one of the panels, there’s the remote for the air conditioner. The girls turned on the air conditioner and opened the windows at the same time. Good job. But that’s not all. We ask, “Is it supposed to be set to heating?” “Wait, does it actually work on heating?” they ask back. Clueless.
On the fourth floor, still at the same bachelorette party, a couple of gamma males had slipped in. With downcast eyes, narrow ties, and slouched postures. They were practically castrated by the Alpha.
Everyone found, gathered, and disassembled everything. They ran new pipes and also replaced a couple of pumps. And they wiped their dirty little fingers on the white walls afterward. It was looking a bit off otherwise.
