A while back I put a series of pics' on the blog exploring the offices of youth workers. I'd like to claim this was some meaningful analysis of working environments and how they affected practice, but actually it was just kind of fun! (Youth worker Office one, two, three, four, five and six are all clickably available via this sentence)
Yesterday I was in Amersham enjoying a coffee with their youth worker Colin Blandford and took the chance to snap a few pics of his office. It's not unusual for the youth work office to be a place where stuff is stored but Colin's office scored mega points on the diversity of stuff therein, electric saw, fridge, firewood and this whole UBER storage rack, nice! (Loved the coffee maker, primed and ready to go).
The funniest thing was the sword that was gaffa taped to the ceiling in a 'of Damocles' sort of a way. I needn't of worried though, it wasn't placed there by the PCC as a kind of ever-present warning, the young people had put it there for a laugh!
So what rating did it get n the scale?
I'm going to have to assess it in two parts
desk half of office = 5 Hamiltons
storage half = 8 Hamiltons
