yep. This is all wide open space, low-wall cubes in clusters, no side walls to partition the cubes off from walkways. And the offices are like fishbowls too, all glass fronts, even glass panels on part of the wall between offices. I want to put up a screen around me.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow- I am glad the fact that the building I work in used to be a dorm means that everyone (pretty much) has their own office, or at least only shares with one other person. My boss and I aren't even right next to each other-- she is across the hall and down a few doors.

A new type of speed cameras which can use satellites to measure average speed over long distances are being tested in Britain.
I find the whole British camera thing kinda creepy.

I've never had my own office with walls in the 22 years I've been working, just cubicles and open desks (at the libraries).

Punishingly Intricate
I can not overstate how happy I am that I have my own office again (after 10 years in cubes). I keep worrying that they'll take it away from me!

I was hoping to find some sort of resource that would educate me on the varying state requirements to be legally recognized as a parent, even if you are the non-bio parent.
Huh. You'd think if she's ALREADY on the birth certificate then it would...already be done? Lambda Legal has a quick rundown of which states recognize second (gay) parent adoption and some of the caselaw which made is so (Colorado does, FYI).

I've never had an office. My last workplace, I was in an open-plan cube facing a wall so people could come up behind me without warning. ICK. Currently I'm at a desk, but my back faces a wall so I can see when people are approaching me.

As MFNlaw said yesterday when we were on the phone, "my law degree entitles me to a door". We agreed that the words hundred thousandS would have to be in any job offer that included a cubicle.

I've had an office for quite awhile, but partly that's because I work for a San Francisco company and our lease expenses are so small compared to out there that there's no particular need to be efficient about space.
