In Germany my office is…well, an office. The typical setup in Germany seems to be an office shared by 3-5 people; my office is a smaller one, so it is setup for two people, but I am the only one in here. There are certainly many great features to such a setup including: the convenient and comfortable host of guests, the quiet work environment, the ability to shut one’s door, and more. One of the useful and unapparent perks is that you can close the door to change before going for a run.
I just got back from an afternoon run (a short one: only 7 km) and was sitting here “cooling down” before going to the showers when I thought: I should have a private shower in my office. Then I thought that if I am someday an executive I may have a private shower in my office. But, if that does happen, I will explicitly use the employee shower to shower to show that I am Just Like Everybody Else.
If you have a shower in your office, you’re not like everybody else, so stop pretending.
Ask yourself — would Jesus have pretended to be Just Like Everybody Else? I don’t think so. And you just know he had a shower in *his* office.
