theme naming

[deird1]

I've been going for lots of job interviews lately, and not talking about it - so that I don't jinx anything - but one thing I did want to briefly touch on was the names of their meeting rooms.


The firms I've been having interviews with all have themed meeting room names, which are quite fun. (I work for the government. Fun is not applicable here. We work in a non-themed environment, and it is extremely boring.)

My favourites so far:

- a font theme, with "The Helvetica Room" and "The Arial Room" and so on, all given signs in their respective fonts

- a sci-fi locations theme, with "Tardis", "Roswell", and probably many others that I didn't get a chance to see


One day, when I own my own business, I'm going to name the meeting rooms after characters - "the Esme Weatherwax room", "the Tuppence Cowley room", "the Amelia Pond room" - and see how many people notice.

I would love it so much if you did that - PARTICULARLY the female characters. When I was at uni, the Wom*n's Department put out a quiz, and one of the items was "name the two buildings on campus named after a woman." One of those buildings has since been knocked down, and more buildings named after men have since been built. No more buildings named after women have been built.
