cindee 0 #26 October 16, 2004 I have my own office, but it never feels lonely. There always seems to be someone in there to discuss a problem, review medical records, or just vent... It is nice when I can close the door and actually work on the piles of stuff in my in bin...__________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

Will_I_Am 0 #27 October 16, 2004 Nope, I work outside all year, and wouldn't have it any other way. Although, the winter does suck just a little bit. But I've been working outside since I got out of school, and I think getting stuck in an office all day every day would drive me nuts. For $20 I'll call the guy a CHICKENFUCKER!

Michele 1 #31 October 16, 2004 QuoteI miss being in the big main office talking shop all day. I miss the agonizing "what's for lunch" questions and cursing each other out in person. You miss the people? Go visit...hang out, discuss lunch options, tell people off. No problem for me. I have people in and out of my office all day. I've finally learned when I need to have quiet and telephone time, I hang the "Closed" sign up. LOL, the first few times I did that, people came in and told me "how cute!" and then proceeded to ask me questions and pull me this and that way. They've gotten used to it, and, since it's rarely up, it gets respected now. I really like having my office, not because I hate people either. Because what I have been doing and what seems like a rapidly growing position, if I don't have an office, my own business just doesn't get done. I don't have a fridge or a coffee maker in there, so I'm often out and about anyway.

livendive 8 #32 October 16, 2004 I like my office because everyone else is within easy reach. The secretarial/admin gals are just outside my door and the owner of the company (my "boss") is right next door to me. Having this office keeps me close enough to talk whenever I want, while still having the option of closing the door if I want some privacy for a phone call, nap, etc. My other office, where I spend about half my time, is outside on jobsites, usually with decent views and a fair number of critters to watch. I kinda like that office as well. (except in poor weather when I spend most of my time in the confines of my truck) Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Snowwhite 0 #33 October 16, 2004 Hey Will you are! I am in Illinois and work outside all of the time too, so I know how bad winter sucks. I do have an office tho. Being self employed means no one cleans it (I suppose I could, but that would waste money producing time) so my office is huge with 3 windows looking out at beautiful maple trees in BRIGHT YELLOW AND GOLD. But the office itself is a MESS. However, being self employed, I can hang out on dz.com or one of many porn sites and nobody knows it but me.

Iota 0 #34 October 17, 2004 I had the option for my own office, but choose not to. Instead, I choose to create an open air concept for my IT team.(All in one room, no cubicles) The result is everyone knows what everyone is doing (work wise) and we don't have to spend time on the phone/getting up just to coordinate activities.----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
