Being a lawyer, we all have offices, given the confidential nature of our work. I interviewed with three different departments at my company and one of the reasons that I chose the department I did was that I knew I'd get an office in the law department.

I have an office with no windows, but it does have a large skylight.

I think the only people at our firm who have offices are the managing partner and a couple of the corporate attorneys. Everyone else - and that includes division heads and members of the management committee - gets a cube. Some of them are really big cubes, but still.

Our cubes are tall enough that you can't see who is sitting where, so we rely on the stuff people put on top of their cabinets to navigate (plants, binder clip dinosaurs, etc.). We also make homemade signs for who sits where to put at the end of each aisle.

My team leader still hasn't noticed that we put his title as "Zumba Instructor."

I have an office on a floor that used to be the attic, so it's got the ceilings that slope way down. I share with one other person. I've got the desk that's under the really low ceiling, but also next to the window. What's tougher is that the office just has one computer, so we've got to share that.

Gris so sorry.

We've had all in individual offices, all in an open office, and variations through the years. We hated it when we were all isolated. I'm the only one with my own office now. It is more a factor of the office layout than anything. I would work from home more if I didn't have my own space though.

Some day I want a big office and one of those huge wood two sided desks to share with DH. We shared an office for years. The major downside being that he talks really loud on the phone. Collaboration is improved with the shared space in my experience, but co-worker craziness is much harder to ignore or avoid.

When I worked in Oakland, our office had the high cube walls. People could always find my office by looking for the blow up palm tree that rose above the cube farm.

I work with one person in my current office, so the palm tree is in a drawer. I could easily give up my cube as I only use it once or twice a month. And I've found my need to print is minimal.

The only paperwork I have in my cube is one pile I paper I can't get rid of due to pending legal stuff and another pile that is some reference stuff that I probably could dump.

My walls are key--for pictures of the Winchesters, and also for information I need to be able to rattle off or refer to constantly that is too much for my dual monitor setup, even. Also to keep people from seeing my eyes when they glaze over or tear up.

I have a conviction that they baffle sound, but I have no real idea if it's significant. And, seriously, if I could see some of these people more, I might go all msbelle and cut a bitch.

Som--home office workers, what does your office look like? Technically my company is supposed to assess my work layout, and if they needed info, I'd take pictures of my desk in my bedroom with the desktops on it.

In reality, I'm curled up on my cuddle lounge (ergonomic schmergonomics) with three laptops (one on the lap) and multiple other devices.

When I work from home, 99.8% of the time I'm on the couch in my same butt groove as always, with the laptop (and probably a cat trying to steal heat from the laptop).

This is my work from home mode too. Though there are usually two cats vying for human contact and laptop heat.

For me to be an official tele-worker, I need to provide pictures of a desk with an ergonomic chair and a nearby outlet with a surge protector. If I end up going that route, I'll take pictures at CJ's desk. His chair is actually a fancy ergonomic chair from my old office.
