Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Allyson!
That all sounds bad-ass, Cashmere.
Re: Office spaces, of course change is the worst thing ever, but I did have a problem when I was at United Way and we were all in cubes, and most people had jobs that involved a lot of talking on the phone, but my job had a lot of writing. Woe. So instead I just was on Salon (and that other place that shut down) all day. As you do.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have a weird opposite office space problem- I have always shared an office/worked in retail, but the building I am in is an old dorm, so everyone has their own office, about the size of half of a dorm room. Even my student has her own office. The only people who share are half time workers.
I am lonely. I like to hear other people talk and move.

One of the reasons I like working from home is that I have better control over the noise levels and distractions (this week not withstanding - spring break). Also, our group has moved twice in the last 6 months and we expect to move a couple more times between now and the end of the year. They are renovating each floor into ever more open work spaces.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
my particular department is entrenched in this crazy culture of everyone have giant wooden desks and their own offices
My first thought was, I would like that! Then I realized, wait, I have that. A giant wooden desk in my own office. Okay.
I enjoyed working at my workplace much more when we had an open floor plan. When they moved everyone into cubes smaller than they raise veal in, my job satisfaction went way down. This was about the same time that they painted the pretty sky-blue walls taupe. It was depressing.

I would love blue walls. I desperately want to be near the windows so I can see some sky. My cube walls are beige, my laminate desktop is beige, the carpet is beige, the office walls are beige, my co-workers are beige--physically and mentally.
