This is random, but I jut felt the urge to post a topic, no matter how pointless. Orlando job - I had my own office, nice paintings on the wall, plant, file cabinets, a pretty big desk, and no windows. Atlanta job - I am in a cube located at the end of an aisle, slightly smaller desk, no plants, pictures, or filing cabinets. My 4th cube wall is made up of a window which lets me see 75/85 and a pretty darn good view of downtown Atlanta. I say the cube with a window is much better than an office without a window. Now, aren’t you glad you wasted all of that time to read this. Send me a SASE, and I’ll mail you back the one minute of your life you lost reading my rambling. * * * We went right out there and refused to do accoustical versions of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place. ---

Hmmm . . . At my last job I actually had a window office; but I hated the job and most of my co-workers. Now I have a tiny windowless Dilbert cubicle, but my job isn’t QUITE so hellish and most of my co-workers at least deserve to live to see tomorrow. ---

I am moving to my very own office next week.(It came with a raise, a new pc and lots of other nifty bells and whistles.) It has a very large window on the back wall. Until then I am in a cubicle at the end of the office, not a bad one, it’s not in a high traffic area. I have worked here for 3 years and I get my own office next week, I go on vacation May 6th, and I put my 2 weeks notice in May 19th. Lovely, huh? * * * Madness takes it’s toll… So does New Jersey. ---

Hey Mully, sounds better than the 8’x8’ padded wall room with bars on the window. I never had an office with a window… not even a porthole for that matter. * * * Homepage: [http://www.bigfuckinboatwithbadassplanes.mil](http://www.bigfuckinboatwithbadassplanes.mil) Occupation: Swabbie Pounder, First Class Location: Anywhere you feckless landlubbers ain’t.

At one of my old jobs I had a window with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Oh, how I miss it! I have a small picture of the ocean here, but it’s **just not the same**! ---

I agree, Mullinator! I have a pretty nice cube right now, not too small, low traffic, secluded, I could nap back here if I really wanted to some days. My window, however, provides me with a lovely view of the side of the next building. I’d sacrifice a little space for a view… then again, that napping thing kicks ass. * * * Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa…
