no eating or drinking in front of the computers
i finally understand why someone invented that boring rule, after having spilled coca cola over my entire working place (including, among other things, a brand new sound absorbing screen covered in a pale grey soft fabric). i covered the worst spots with a calendar, a user's guide to our phone system and an oversized piece of paper with the telephone number to our helpdesk (and a flower, to create a homely atmosphere). i hope it looks natural, so that it will take a while before anyone notices the spots...
