We recently moved offices at work as we have been expanding over the last 12 months, and outgrew our old office. Our new office is fantastic and has its very own Garden Room, where we have a picnic bench, astro-turf flooring and, until recently, two office plants.
However, as with any office there are times where people neglect the simple things and our office plants were the unfortunate victims here. Everybody was under the assumption that somebody else was watering the plants, which sadly was not the case. After a number of weeks without water, one of our office plants died and ended up in the compost heap in the sky but the other was clinging to life, and with some watering has slowly returned to its former glory.
Now when you work for a software development company, if there is an excuse to use something involving tech or code then we often will. Throwing myself into the mix, and my passion for Raspberry Pi, then if I have the excuse to use one at work then I will!
