These gongs are considerably quieter than
the traditionals. The electronic mallet would
softly trigger at
preordained intervals, adorning the office
environment with the serenity and grace of
a
Buddhist monastery. Arrange several in the
area to respond to each other across the
room, creating
an echo ambiance whenever
appropriate. Different sizes and tones
available.

I'd like that. Give me a couple of those. Maybe you can work it into the whole "gong show" theme for meetings, too. When someone's spouting off on stupidities... |

I'd like to call departmental meetings by usage of an enormous gong. |

I'd like to ram my boss's head into a gong sometimes. |
|

But really, I like this idea! Install a few of those zen fountains and zen toms around the office, too, and you're good to go. |

Gongs could be used instead of doors, and banged out the way with a mallet. Phones would gong, instead of ringing, and instead of voicemail, the caller would hear a gentle gong. Urinals and toilets would be gongs, which would ring beneficently when used. Oh yes. |

We actually have a gong in our office, but it is used by our salesmen to celebrate when they make a sale. It is quite loud, so I guess it doesn't achieve the stated goals. |

How about steel drums to give the office that tropical everyday's-margarita-day vacation feel? |
|
| |
We did the steel drums urinal, as I recall. |

I'm good with gongs, though having them triggered by other gongs could mean they end up in a spiralling mess of competing gonginess. |
|

The gong response idea is that one would
go off in section A, hence triggering
sections B and C, which in turn trigger
section D. A once through kind of thing,
not some droning cacaphony of nonstop
gongage. |

Office bongs..hee hee, already thought of
that one. |
|

I'd accept silent dodgy gongs. |
