We recently expanded our office as we are growing at a rapid pace to accommodate the new employees and business operations. Having worked from a very small office space with submarine quarters, it was a revelation to have a break room in the new spaces. What is a break room anyway? It’s been so long for everyone in the founding team that I think we need a recall

Looking at the definition, we decided to add “digital media entertainment activities” into the mix. i.e. a TV and a console game system.

I’m praying for a Nintendo Wii or a PS3.
