new carpet

an update on john's post below about a new carpet in the coffee room: the carpet is now down and fully functional. noam pointed out that it seems to have clearly delineated regions for walking on and sitting -- coloured navy blue and a tasteful grey respectively. i for one welcome the new carpet and its authorative tones.

i wonder how long before the first stain will appear? i noticed today that john was eating one of those exceptionally crumbly 'flapjacks', which scattered crumbs (through no fault of john's i might add) onto the new carpet.

i suggest they next re-arrange the seating. i don't like the regimental columnar design at the moment.
