As for the background stuff, it was just a bit of a feeling that you were explaining with a bit too much detail. "Switched to office mode" would work just as well without saying *how* he switched modes.
True, although it does less to establish the 'scenery', or how the office differs from the library. I'm actually considering making them two separate rooms; I'm not sure whether that would be better or not.
On that last, if you've got multiple cars, which are you more apt to say? "Fetch the deisel" or "Fetch the BMW"?
Depends. Do I own two Beemers, one diesel and one gasoline? Ultimately, it depends on how one distinguishes the vehicles in one's mind - it could just as easily have been 'the roadster' vs. 'the limo'.
