Who, me? Welcome, dear readers, to another Monday morning. Here at The Reg, we hope your working week is off to a good start – or at least better than it was for the main character in this week's episode of Who, Me?
Polly Brown – Up In A Puff Of Smoke – [STEREO]
Our hero this week we'll regomize as "Nikolai" who spent the turn of the century (there's a phrase to make you feel old) doing many short contracts as network/desktop support, including a visit to a French financial house that needed help setting up fancy new digs in London, UK.
And when Nikolai says fancy, he means fancy: "No expense had been spared to make the retailers comfortable and happy to be there. There was a gym on the ground floor behind reception and a massage room. We had all the cards loaded with credits for the plentiful vending machines on something way all the employees looked like they were doing catalog modeling on the side.
Even the food was luxurious: "In the basement was the dining room, with its own cafe attended by two baristas. There were three dining areas, depending on your preference, with chefs preparing French, Italian and Indian meals daily. All to be consumed surrounded by tastefully lit frosted glass panels and water features that cost more than the average house."
