Nonprophet's blog really makes this whole thing accessible to....me, anyway, but anyone who isn't aware of what all these things are.
I also have no idea where this is going or what the plot is. Perhaps it is, again, my unfamiliarity with this entire universe, but the only thing I guess will happen is the revelation of who Non is. You could have time-travellers burst through the door and it wouldn't seem out of character to me--I can't get a good sense of expectations of this world or universe.
Setting is also an integral part of this, with moving the sofa and the layout of desks for interns and all, but I don't have any idea of what this office looks like, how big it is, where desks/cubicles/offices are positioned, etc. Is it upstairs? Is there an elevator, or windows, or a plant? The gong seems to go for modern hardwood-and-palm-trees decor, but also the fact that it's hated by everyone suggests it's a bit out of character and thus it's typical gray-caret white-walls cubicle-style. I think a slight description of setting, just some essential details worked in subtly, would help a lot.
