NCR: The $3,000 Mistake
I work at a law firm in DC. We have these awesome desks that the owner fell in love with. They are custom made in Italy and shipped over. Well yesterday the managing partner, his wife, the web developer, and the HR lady who was down from our Boston office were all in my office and we were going over the new web design. She sat on the glass return to my desk and broke it. It looks like its supported underneath but its really floating and only supported on each corner. To have the glass imported and remade for the desk is $3,000. So I'll have a broken desk for at least a month. 
She wasn't hurt just mortally embarrassed. Who sits on a desk? At least I have two other working places and my plants didn't get knocked down.

Wow, that's a really stupid design for a desk! Sorry you'll be sitting at a broken one for a while...
I wonder if you work close to me.... I'm also downtown.
I am at 13th and K. Where are you?
I guess. I didn't know they cost that much. Everyone has the same desks. Even the partners.

I'm near Farragut West... so, not too far!
That is what my husband said. She isn't a big lady. She is short and maybe 100 to 110 pounds. She was fully on the desk with her feet off the ground. But still I have had 5" binders full of paper on them before and I am talking like 8 or 9. Those aren't light. I think all around they are a bad design.
