The Receptionist Illusion

Sometime over the past month or so someone where I work decided we'd look better/bigger if we had a receptionist. Of course, having a real receptionist would cost money and be a pretty big waste given the small number of visitors we get. So, they just put a desk up front with a name plate that has the title of "Receptionist" on it. Then they put a sign on the desk implying that the receptionist is away from their desk and that the visitor should just use the available phone to call the party they're there to see. The funnier thing is they've put a couple of legal pads (one with a doodle on it) and a picture frame (with a photo of someone's dog) on the desk. It's simply bizarre.

Update:

Here are the pictures.

I was amused that there isn't actually room enough for a person to get behind the desk (picture 2).
