I have to say, I think it may often be that "office workers" look slow and
laid back to impress the owner/client with how relaxed they are-- in an
effort to seem more prepared. Peek in on your average
architecture/restoration consulting company on an average night, fifteen
minutes before the FedEx deadline, and you may see the locals moving a bit
move quickly.
