Growing Up in Mom's Place of Work

One day when I decided to pay my mom a visit in the office, I happened to notice that their office was undergoing renovations here and there. People were all rushing to finish it at the earliest time possible. The place was a mess because of all the materials scattered in the area. The in charge has already given word that after slating and tiling, it will take only two weeks more to complete the job. My mom says this is good news, because they can't wait to be completely settled in the building. At present, they share the space with another department, and the space is just too small for them. When the renovation is done, they can now expect a bigger working area and a more efficient staff to do their jobs. This building is no stranger for me. I practically grew up here, given that my mom has been working here for the past thirty-five years. I was a regular visitor especially on Fridays. Perhaps this explains my excitement too, to see the output of the renovation.
