What does your office/cube/workspace look like?

Re: what does your office/cube/worksapce look like?

Ok... here's mine. The first shot is looking into my office from the hallway, the second shot is from the door in, and the third shot is my primary desk. When the weather is not all grey and nasty I have a nice view of the office complex across the street, and the street below. I also get a nice view of all of the accidents that happen when they have cops come direct traffic so people can get out of that office because they won't install a light there.

I see you're prepared for the coffee alert, when someone posts a funny joke! Or is that something other than a plastic keyboard cover?

On mine? No cover, the thing is clear plastic.

Here's my cube. Moved in about 15 months ago with an admonishment to keep things below the top of the cube. Yeah, that lasted a long time.

My home office

and the view out the window

no pics of my current cubicle hole, but if you put a gray box over your head, you'll see it.

I used to have a pic of an office I had at a client in Denver, but can't find it now. It was "view of the mountains from my east-facing window" ... the next building east would reflect the mountains in a beautiful panoramic view ...

CALL SECURITY! SOMEBODY BROUGHT A MAC INTO THE OFFICE!

Work is on the right. My ADD therapy, including youse guys is center and left. They only sent me viable equipment in the last few months and at that my boss had to break some rules. Having screen real estate has a HUGE impact on how fast I can get stuff done, as I kept telling them. Fortune 15 company. and I personally own much better equipment

The view. Did I mention I love my house?

My office is supposed to be in the basement, which has casement windows about 5 feet up from the floor and is not on the lake side. I can't find a round tuit to work on setting the office up and moving down. Even when I do I'm gonna work out of the sun room or the deck outside on nice days.

My best office was one I had for about 4 months in my first job after college. The company leased the former executive floor for a Philadelphia bank. I was put in the old Chairman's office, with 3 others. The other three travelled a lot, plus all quit within about a month, leaving me with an executive-sized office with its own bathroom. That, and I was by the back door. Made for stealthy arrivals/departures.

Me, too! I was in the corporate HQ. We had a merger, meaning that all of the bosses done flown the coop with lotsa money. Us lucky guys that still had jobs were left behind with none,... but I digress.

Real estate came along and squooze those of us remaining on one floor. I was the only boss left when they ran out of offices, so they gave me the corporate security honcho's corner office. In my case it was the office directly below below the chairman's, but I had the same corner and same view, less 12 feet of altitude. I also scrounged up all of the highest quality office furniture.

I was gonna dig up the pictures of me with my feet on that desk. I'll look.

Surprised at the number of sound & lights guys who posted on this thread. I thought they were all poor like me! I started out recording in high school and soon became focused on it.

Graduated from a midwestern college well-known for its music programs, with a music degree, student worker at a radio station with a long history (now gone).
Former office (first after-college job): cab of a 12-year old Chevy S10 with a leaking fuel tank; driving around the state working on CCTV, security & fire alarms and installing home A/V systems.
Currently: back at that midwestern college, responsible for recording concerts, recitals, events, etc, and online streaming media. My cubicle is nothing much, but we have plenty of modern, high-end gear in three studios.

Sadly, my flying ground to a halt a couple months after my PPL checkride, just after changing jobs and taking a pay cut (new job is better hourly wage, but only half-time). But hopefully it'll pay off in the long run.

Re: what does your office/cube/worksapce look like?

Henning, I believe the technical term for what you are exhibiting in those pics is "****-eating grin."

Well, it's pretty much permanent, and has gotten me in a bunch of trouble through my life...

Office? Cubicle, sweet cubicle. When I'm home, that is. Oh, and this is about as "neat" as it gets. Otherwise, aluminum mailing tube, hotel, meeting room, hotel, aluminum mailing tube.

And I've got a better computer at home than at work, too.

 

[mikea]

I'm working on getting a couple more monitors.

I call shenanigans. Your desk and floor are too clear and you don't have enough cables.

My big LCD is a discontinued Dell HD wide screen that I can get for $300 or less on eBay.

Since my Viewsonic LCD died after slightly more than a year, I'm thinking I want another one.

It's 24" wide, 1920x1024. Although the pixels are a bit small, You don't see that kind of resolution for that price.

I work in a cube farm. Each cube for the peons are 6 by 6. It's smaller than a prison cell... Feels like one too... The picture is courtesy of our security camera.

As Dilbert calls it, Gopherland. (Make a noise and watch all the gophers come up.)

Think we got it bad now?

It's sad, but you should see the pictures of how it was back the 1950-1960s. There were just endless rows of totally bare desks - sometimes with phones. No walls. They prolly wouldn't let anybody leave stuff on the desk when they weren't in it. There were "typing pools."

Imagine how scandalous it was when the first anarchist brought in pictures of the wife and kids and then others started bringing in flowers and other decorations.

How about the early 1980s where I worked then? 50 square feet per engineer was the space allocated. That's enough room for your desk and chair. Makes my 8x9 cubicle seem downright luxurious.

And Dilbert isn't a comic strip. Dilbert is a documentary.

We are working on our new facilities so I am bouncing between my home office and a cube in the "mushroom farm" (dev cave, dark and smelly).

The new office will be a nice window office on the fourth floor, yippee!!!!

Just from curiosity, which midwestern college? I went to SIUE, which has a pretty good music program and I was a student worker at the radio station as well... Feel free to reply via PM if you'd rather not broadcast it on the CTAF here...

I'm very proud of my new desk, window seat, new responsibilities...I'm happy. lets compare desks.

edit: note to self - T-Mobile Wing doesn't play well with uploading pics on vBulletin.

Dude! I think you need some professional help in customizing your hole. I don't even see anything to suggest an affinty for airplanes. For shame.

BTW: I don't see a Dr Pepper.

Re: what does your office/cube/worksapce look like?

If my two filing cabinets weren't OVER FLOWING I COULD use them I suppose. But that would mean I would have to clean out 9 years worth of stuff. Could take months.
The floor is a much better system anyway, no writing on tabs to put with the file folders.
Can just see at a glance what is on top and know what that pile is for then. LOL

Mark B

I'm with you but that system has an achilles heel: when your wife or some other well-meaning person comes in to "straighten up". Before you know it, you're up to your eyeballs in Past Due notices and customers calling why you didn't show up or why it's been 2 months and they STILL haven't received their shipment.

That's the situation I'm in now at home, with the added wrinkle that I moved, so much of the pile(s) are in random boxes. I've been mostly able to limp along making new piles in the new place, but otherwise I'm as doomed as doomed can be until I get the office going in the basement and go through those boxes.

Haha. But 475 kts GS in a turbine airplane doesn't suck at all.

Second. I want to come steal your office.

Some variation of this, usually:

The start of a good day looks like this:

And the end of a bad day looks like this:

My sister's got a better one, though... One of her offices is this:

(No, that's not a call center. That's Mission Control at NASA JSC, Houston, TX. )

I wanted to share my new office. I'm stoked. Anyone else get a decent upgrade?

Sortof. I've spent less time this year in 12A on a ERJ, and more time in 10C or 1J on 777's. But, I've also been away from home 11 weekends this year

Cheers,

-Andrew

How about a transition? 1. The new office. 2. The back office. 3. The view.
