It is possible. It seems rather ridiculous; if you're spending time typing an LJ entry, you're not getting your job done any more than you would be typing e-mail or reading it. On the other hand, who cares so long as it works.
You probably have something there re: the design of corporate apartments. Most of the men I know would not take one look at the woefully inadequate lighting in the living room and groan at the thought of how that was going to impact their needlework. And I know at least one of my colleagues thinks I'm nuts for "nesting" the way I do on the road. On the other hand, he has his gym regimen which he absolutely has to do every morning, and therefore he absolutely has to have the car every morning, except that he absolutely has to have the keys every night to ensure that he will have the car every morning...my opinion is, that's his form of my nesting: that familiar routine that keeps him sane.
Re: the assumption that only one person requires only one end table: that theory works until the moment you invite people over for drinks. Or have your husband staying overnight with you for a few nights. And the previous corporate apartment group seemed to have it figured out. Not to mention which, it simply looks awkwardly unbalanced the way they've set it up. Again - a thing most men could care less about, but which I find very unsettling.
And damn straight it's not a hotel room. It is, most particularly, not a hotel room with a mouse. Although there is the oddest gap in the cabinetry (built that way, not chewed) that makes an ideal hidey-hole for vermin. No vermin so far; and I devoutly hope it stays that way; but it does seem poorly designed and poorly constructed.
Sigh...it's not for long (we live in hope). Take care!
