Who has their own office?

[Manhattan]

How many of you work in offices where everyone has their own office instead of cubicles? Maybe I'm a little ADD but people walking by all day and hearing the door slam is such a distraction. Plus it's kinda annoying when someone just sneaks right up to u while you're on beyond. :bullshit:

[wintonyk]

My own office with 2 couches and a coffee table. I spend most the day sitting on the couches. People still sneak up on me.

[ExtraSlow]

office. We only put students and consultants in cubes.

Ballin.

I have my own chair, computer and section of desk.

[Manhattan]

Um...mind telling me where u guys work :D

[JAYMEZ]

2 Couches and a desk with 2 Screens facing me.... I get snuck up on all the time on by lil fuckers trying to look at what im lookin at :thumbsup:

[PD77]

My desk faces the door...no sneaking up unless they are a certified ninja or something heh.

Unlike some of the Beyond ballers I have no couches.

I feel shame.

[Gainsbarre]

Own office, and I face the door so nobody can sneak up on me.

I actually miss working on a trading floor -- sure it's noisy as hell, but I did feel energized by all the activity + you can't slack off when you have no privacy (forces you to be productive).

When I moved into my new office I figured it would be great. At the end of the hall (no traffic), best view of the pond, and the neat thing was the zone HVAC control area ended at my office, so I effectively had my own personal climate controls, or so I thought...

It was a sweet deal until I began having allergy symptoms in the spring, had the AC tech check out the filters and everything was good. Then in the winter it was getting cooler than usual in my office, bought a space heater and still spent all winter coming up with excuses to be out of my office.

Finally 1.5 years later the HVAC guy figured it out. Apparently the heating unit was set to intake 25% fresh air even in the middle of winter. Such are the hassles of a new building.

i'm in my own office, even has a window that opens (some folks in the building don't have windows) :bigpimp:

[rage2]

I have a corner office with tons of windows. Older building, so it's a fucking death trap. Way too cold in the winters, and way too hot in the summers. It shares HVAC settings with the boardroom so when it's packed, even in winter, I have A/C blowing in my office while it's trying to cool down the boardroom and 10 people.

[asp integra]

i have one, big desk, couch on the side, my chair and 2 others. i look onto the store and my office manager, its really nice but i only spend maybe 10% of my day in there...

[imhungry]

Do you guys hate it when people don't push your chairs in when they get up to leave? And then once they leave, you reluctantly get up, walk around to push in the chairs. :banghead:

[turbotrip]

I don't even have a damn chair or desk. I just sit on the floor with a pen and a pad

my boss had chairs in his office that didn't have any felt or anything on the bottom, with a carpet floor. And they were heavy chairs! it was literally impossible to move them in and out. I just left them out :D


I never minded working in an open area. when I was on site I had another purchaser 2ft behind me and my boss like 5 feet beside. they had meetings all the time in this little cubicle. like 6 people all in one cubicle!!

Open-office concept is just a way to spy on you to make certain you arn't wasting valuable company time on facebook :rofl:

fixed.

[JordanLotoski]

Pics?

[Cos]

I have a corner window cube. Nice thing is I get a nice view of all the vehicles on Blackfoot Trail. Bad is that I face my bullpen so everyone can see when I am not working.

Our offices are for directors and above only.

I find it funny when a supervisor or manager is writting up someone in a cubicle or if I am closing out a tender and you can hear the other consultants sitting a few cubes over. Oh well not my problem. We dont have a ton of meeting rooms either.

[Skyline_Addict]

corner office by a window. freezing my ass off.

[R!zz0]

Don't have my own office but, i have my own desktop wallpaper if that helps.

[spike98]

Office, Decent sized J shaped desk, two large filing cabinets and a closet for my gadgets. Few white boards and a cork board too.

I have a window too but i work just outside of medicine hat so i see sweet fuck all.

[sexualbanana]

I have an office but no door surrounded by glass walls. With the way the sides of the glass is set up (we dry erase shit on the walls), I have the only desk that faces the hallway in which people can see what i'm doing on my computer. Apparently my reputation precedes me.

We don't have any cubes on our floor. Students get the inside offices without windows though.

I spent 2 yrs in a cube out of school, hope to never have to do that again. :barf:

[2007RS4]

My current office faces SE with a view of the Saddledome/Stampede grounds, and Calgary Tower.

[Mar]

Office, couch and projector. No desk, I just sit on the couch all day with my computer.

[88CRX]

Corner/window cubicle.

Entire office is 'open concept' only 8 or 9 closed offices for upper management and HR stuff. Would hate to be out in the open like most people in our office are, so loud and distracting with people moving around.

[410440]

No pics from anyone??

My office is open concept, but really all that means, is they took the doors off the offices.

I have a corner office, with a big window - although I stare out at another warehouose all day.

Not a high level position, but I started at the same company in a cube, got moved into here when we renovated our building.

Cube. But I'm just out of school so I'm happy to have a good paying job. Its a good size cube though and I can decorate how I want.

[Gainsbarre]

I'd post pics but I'm too lazy to find a site to host it...just in the Scotia Centre, facing north up 2nd street SW. I get a clear view of the ambulances parked outside the BP Centre whenever a trader has a heart attack/medical emergency.

Better view than at my old job...it was on the wrong side of the tracks, near the mustard seed. I'd see the alcoholics gather around the liquor store there from 9:30am to 10am each day to get their fix as soon as the liquor store could legally open its doors...

[Jlude]

We already have a thread for pics of our offices/cubes!

I ended up with a mini-fridge when I moved offices. Boo-yah! The best part? Someone left beer in it.

[darthVWader]

36 floor with River, Nose hill and airport view. 2 50" screens, magnetic and writable walls. Full height adjust desk's and a nice Leap chair.

[Boat]

Cubes. Desk facing out towards everyone else. Middle of the floor too, so anyone walking by can see.

No windows nearby (Lack of natural sunlight kinda blows)

Temperature - No complaints.

Pics. Someday!

[cycosis]

I share an office with the boss/who happens to be my dad. we've talked about getting a couch/coffee table/round table with chairs or something but we never seem to find the time.

My desk chair is freekin comfy as is.

HAHAHA I was more worried about the jacket in his closet.

[M.alex]

Here's my current office - an Ikea Director's chair my parents bought for me in 1992, a bookshelf my dad and I built together when I as 6, and a table my dad and I built when I was 7 or 8. Comes complete w/ 3.5'' floppie disks!

Damn u guys have some baller offices! Every post in here makes me feel a little worse. :banghead:

[CompletelyNumb]

I have a beautiful mobile office. Large window overlooking a drilling rig. Couch. Chair. Desk. 3 computer screens. Handy bedroom with ensuite right beside me.

:nut:

[dimi]

I really could care less about my office arrangement to be honest. I have an inside office currently, no windows. I would trade it for a cube near corner windows. I prefer natural light and a view over privacy. I used to share with a summer student, and it was a lot of fun actually.

[Tomaz]

I have finally been moved from the floor to an office since last this topic came up. I have a window, but it looks out to more windows.... (window and door showroom lol)

No HVAC to my office, but it rarely get too cold/hot in here.

[Xaroxantu Zero]

I kinda share this office with our resident photographer, but he's always out and about. I feel overly exposed from passers-by, as well. xD

[Davetronz]

I have my own office... not to mention my own bathroom, kitchen, TV, bed, couches... Yup, living the dream working from home. :thumbsup:

[Masked Bandit]

I've had my own office in one form or another for the past 14 years or so but it's funny, when I opened my own business I placed myself in the smallest office I've had over all the years. Now that it's on my dime I can't justify spending money on myself. Strange.

Its a sleep sack for infants :rofl

I built my rents a website this spring, two weeks away from e-commerce launch, and also handle HR.

[Chandler_Racing]

Have an office, basically the desk wraps around one corner of my office with two chairs on the outside.

The other side has meeting tables for ~5 people.

One of my staff has the "corner office" I was too lazy to switch into.

[sillysod]

own office... nothing crazy though

Or is this Justin?

[Bladeh]

main floor cube, no windows and rather depressing.....

But I got 3 monitors........ :whocares:

[Zewind]

I have the ability to rent an office but for 700/m not going to happen for awhile

[Chester]

Cube:( . But it is a fairly open floor plan with massive windows everywhere and despite how open it is, people can't see what I am looking at/working on. In the winter, my bed is my office 80% of the time, love the ability to work from home lol.
