This is my work station. I look out over the lobby area. The work stations are enclosed in glass. We call it "The Fishbowl". Missionaries are not allowed to step over the line into The Fishbowl. They stay in the lobby area. There are four workstations. Mine, Wayne's, the Recorder (Elder) and Operations (Elder). The Assistants to the President use a big table in the back of the area. It gets crowded when elders are training elders to take over. Right now Operations is training an elder and in two days, Recorder will be training an elder. We have enough chairs, but the "stuff" is messy. Elders are no longer able to carry backpacks. They are to use shoulder bags or brief cases. They look really sharp. It sets them apart from high school kids.
This is Wayne's work station. He likes having a wall in front of him. It gets noisy sometimes and he needs to concentrate. He is in charge of finances. He makes rent payments on all 84 apartments, reimburses missionaries for expenses that the church pays for, creates a budget for the mission, takes care of the missionaries ATM cards and whatever else needs to be done. Last week, he cleaned the lowest garage in the Service Center because it had accumulated junk over a number of years of missionaries going home and dumping stuff. It is now closed to all missionaries.
