But I think because of the evolutionary nature of a company it's not possible to have a perfect working environment without some heavy forethought. I think it's like software.

By the way, if you want to swap the books back just give me a shout. I don't mind if you want to hang onto them for a while longer. I felt the same after Peopleware.
