OK.  Now let’s get back to business:  designing your office for safety.  In the reception area, consider having the receptionist’s desk behind a 4 foot wall.  People can look over it easily and she can duck under her desk easily for concealment and safety. If you cannot bring yourself to build a wall, at least get the receptionist’s desk a “privacy shield” so there’s a small space under the desk where s/he can huddle in an emergency.  Don’t forget to put a panic button there too.
