Chinese Walls! With Embroidered Dragons!

I'm lying about the dragons but the effort to retain confidentiality within each document review currently taking place on the floor is there. As previously mentioned, there is more than one group here. We're on the other side of the elevator bank and have a kitchenette to ourselves; we recently met the hospitality person who provides our supplies and she decided to give her phone number to each separate review group, and designate us by number so we may contact her directly when we're low on supplies. Otherwise it goes through a whole chain of people. Our group number is associated with the name of our minder so products are charged to the right group.

There's one restroom on each side of the elevator bank, and I lucked out in being on the same side as the restroom I use; those who need to travel to the other side must go through the elevator banks, which means carrying your key. One of the groups expanded last week, and as I see people walking around instead of going through, the new people must not have gotten that memo.

There are two groups on the other side, and when we started, we used their kitchenette and were told that we weren't allowed to talk to those people except in the kitchenette. They also pointed out tape lines on the floor indicating where you could get safe passage. If any of you shared a room with a sibling when you were younger, this might sound familiar. At one point I shared a room my sister and when we fought we divided the floor. Of course one of us got the door and the other was stuck by the window.

I feel fortunate not to have to follow the electrical tape to make way to my designated area. It's much better than needing to watch it, though I doubt people would wander to talk to others; we have to whisper when we talk and don't talk much.
