My manager has come back this week from a 10 week vacation and paternity leave. In response and similar to
other office hacks some dedicated coworkers and I decided to do something to my manager's office.

While gone we knew my manager, Venkat, was getting into meditation. My coworker Vishu had the excellent idea of easing Venkat back into work by making his office
better suited for meditation. To start with, we updated his nameplate with an
Om.

Next we emptied his office of anything that could distract him from meditation and replaced it with a yoga mat. Of course I left a copy of the specification
for the remodel in his office.
