At first yes. It gets less awesome with time though.

Fight fire with fire: counter her weird vintage-trance-remix malarkey with death metal.

I'd go with old video game themes, myself. Death metal may get the desired results, but it won't get stuck in other peoples' heads to torment them hours later.

Though I guess you could attempt to go best of both worlds and find metal versions of classic game songs, but I'm not sure how effective that'd be.

You obviously failed the increased beer intake part of listening to Finntroll. Smiley: grin

We have a warehouse environment at my office. 6 or so desks lining the walls, and a giant set of tables in the middle called the "in-bench." The managers get offices, but I'm okay with just having two monitors on a nice desk with a pretty comfy office chair.
I spend very little time at my desk (it's not really a desk job, but there is paperwork and stuff), but if I didn't already have a comfy chair, then I would demand one.

An good office chair is one of the only things i can purchase in my little bureaucracy without six or seven layers of approval.

I might have the authority to have a wrench or some other small item ordered, anything bigger would have to go through my department manager.

I'm in what can be most easily described as a design studio. A large room with a couple desks, design tables, printers, plan digitizer, scanners, plotter, plan racks, a bookcase behind me for my various books 'n binders, etc. The desks are arranged on opposite sides so I have my own space, although I suppose I'll have even more space once I take over completely.

Plus a there's map of the world pinned to the wall which still includes Yugoslavia. I've no idea what that's all about Smiley: laugh

No cubical walls though, much less shared cubicals. I guess no one here got the memo that there's only two types of work spaces in the Wide World of Employment.

I like the map part. Are North and South America on it, or is it a 'here there be dragons' zone?

It does have North and South America. Also Burma. And Thailand says "(Siam)" under it.

I was resistant of getting a massage chair, but now I plan on stealing it when no one is looking.

I'm in and out of the office. But even when i'm at the office I have one of those cool wireless headsets so I can walk around outside while talking on the phone when it's nice out. When you do everything from marketing to customer service to sales it's good to be mobile and flexible. Of course in my office I have a framed copy of the national geographic societies map of the heavens, a few pictures i've taken over the years from a park I run/hike at blown up and framed, and during the spring and summer I keep a few vegetable plants just outside my window. I've been considering setting up a 35gal saltwater aquarium come the new year. I've tried to create a completely stress free environment.
...and a crescent moon cut into the door.

I'm a production supervisor in a factory. Headsets aren't practical (loud background noise) or safe (forklifts and such). I don't need to deal with external phone calls too often, but I wish there were an easy way to take internal ones, when there is an issue at a certain jobsite.

If it were a mirror there would be a fruit tree concealed in a closet too.

The solution was this.



After 5 minutes he left the job site and didn't comeback for 2 days. Productivity increased.

I heart them. I actually saw them in concert a few months back and got the bass players guitar pick. Smiley: blush

I have heard you like to take it internally.

If you have a map in your office, he has to have a map in his fictional office. Duh.

Being a field tech working out of home, my office is generally my car. Depending on where I am the view is sometimes great and I often have free wifi.
