A stock photo of two people doing business on a staircase.
Two dudes standing around a watercooler, presumably having a 'watercooler conversation' about last night's Seinfeld or whatever.
A woman reclining in a chair in a business suit with her shoes off.
A guy in a suit on a city street doing some damn business on a cell phone. The business never stops!!!!!
