So where I work, we share a building with a biology research lab. It sounds cool but I never get to see them apart from a shared “hello” in the hallways. But the best part is that the path to the stockroom takes me near enough to see their staff room… which is filled with jigsaw puzzles!
Every morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, you can spy them all in there, sitting or standing around a massive boardroom table covered in the latest masterpiece.
Tigers in the jungle.
Castles on the moors.
Uluru at sunset.
I swear I saw a Harry Potter puzzle once.
This is how they incubate their ideas, and I think it’s genius.
“Well, it sounds like we’ve hit a wall. Let’s take a break and come back after morning tea. To the puzzle room!”
But let me tell you, the puzzles have more benefits than just having a nice little break from work.
