The legs of the secretaries!

Being a secretary at INESC TEC is a hard and demanding work. And because the Associate Laboratory wants the best for its employees, it is now possible to order an extra set of legs for a secretary for those days (or nights) when the fatigue inflicted on lower limbs goes beyond that which is perceived as normal – look at the sample of a quotation (above) that we received from a proper company.

And what if the male revolution triumphs? Does that mean we can replace less attractive legs for a cheaper and more ergonomic pair…?

And we also ask: what other limbs may be ordered in the future?! We want to believe that no one will require a new head. After all, all our secretaries are well served and we haven’t had any complaints.

(Hummm… Come to think of it, maybe the heads could be useful for somebody… It’s best to ask for a quotation …)


*This table contains an excerpt of a quotation for material ordered by INESC TEC. It reads “extra set of legs for existing secretary (or writing desk)”.
