Does she really want the bathroom that far from her office?

What if she has beans for lunch?

Climbing the highest mountain and consulting a golden monkey… [Olive on top of a mountain with a basket of bananas and a monkey]
- 00:36
Oh, wait… actually she just makes a pros and cons list.
- 00:39
She writes down all the things she likes about her current floor plan and all the things
- 00:42
she can do without.
- 00:43
This helps her come up with some new bright ideas about where to put the furniture, and
- 00:47
she starts to try them out on the floor plan.
- 00:50
She sketches and erases, and erases and sketches until she feels like she’s about to lose

Clumps of hair are falling out of her head. [Clumps of hair fall onto the floor plan]
- 00:56
This has to stop.

Olive decides the best thing to do is start a whole new floor plan.
- 01:01
She gets out a clean piece of paper and draws her 35 by 30 foot office space.
- 01:06

- 01:12
Fuelled by an awe-inspiring creative fury, Olive radically redesigns the dimensions of her rooms. [Olive wipes away the clumps of hair that have fallen]
- 01:18
Sweating, laughing, crying…
- 01:19
She feels the universe spinning around her as she pulls from her heart and soul the most
- 01:23
incredible floor plan for a tax office that the world has ever known.
- 01:28
Her astounding new floor plan complete, she now must make sure that the furniture will fit.
- 01:32
Luckily, she’s saved the adorable paper furniture she made before.
- 01:35
Of course, there was never a danger that she’d throw it away. [Olive smiling]
- 01:38
It’s simply too cute.
- 01:39
Using the mini furniture, Olive finishes her new floor plan.
- 01:42
She sketches in where each piece of furniture will go.
- 01:45
Everything is labeled.
- 01:46
Everything is to scale.
- 01:47
And all is right with the world...
- 01:48
Or maybe it’s all just right at Olive’s Fast Tax. [Olive looking happy with a plate of beans]
