I used to have a cubicle office. It was an office in a large room with high ceilings, but my walls and door only went 8 feet high.

Now I'm down the Green Mile with one wall of nothing but windows. Living large.

I'm backup for the admin assistant, so I have one of the walk around headsets too (even she doesn't get one of those.) It's nice to be ripping out a motherboard on the other side of the room and field a call from a client at the same time.

If I request something reasonable, I usually get it. Week before last it was shelves since the new dual monitors took up all my desk space (and I have a bunch of reference manuals and random external high drives and junk I need to keep track of that were displaced.) And, well, dual monitors themselves was reasonable. About the only thing I've been denied was a title change. Smiley: lol

I've been on the road a lot lately so I've been mostly in very nice conference rooms. However this week I've been banished to a basement, to tell someone else to type a command, and then wait for five minutes as he documents the step. Rinse, repeat.

For what its worth, you can actually make an awsome synchronized laser show using an audio source of some sort, a speaker, a clean hollow soup can the same approximate diameter of the speaker with both ends removed, a baloon, a rubber band, a small piece of mirror, a piece of tape, and a laser pointer. You stretch the balloon over the can like a drum head, and use the rubber band to hold it in place, then tape the mirror to the middle of the stretched balloon. Place the whole thing over the speaker and attach the speaker to the sound source, then aim one or more laser pointers at the mirror from the side across the top towards a nice flat wall. Extra points for more than one laser pointer color. Then you just turn on the sound and you have your own studio grade laser light show, suitable for charging admission to! Then you can start adding motoroized beam splitters and prisms and neat stuff like that.

You aren't missing a red stapler are you? (>.>)


I love being in IT. I've got one large area to myself, actually split into 3 rooms. Office, server room (with own A/C unit), and a PC maintenance/supply work area. You enter in via the office and there's 2 more doors to get to the maintenance area. Anytime I feel the need to escape from the "rank and file", I just retreat to the back and work on a PC or something. Escaping to the server room is nice when the rest of building's A/C goes out (which happens quite a bit in the summer).

I've got no windows though, it's a 2 story building with the first floor underground. It's not the basement as the backside of the building is a warehouse and loading dock. Guess it would look like the building was built into the side of a hill.

Aren't you in Nashville this week? Will they let you out of the basement long enough to go looking around?

You people need receptionists.

Yeah, that only works for internal IT departments. Since we're third party, the server rooms in most of our buildings are actually closets. About a month ago, someone had to pull out a rack at one of them, and the rack rolled over a cord and caused three RAID drives to burp and start rebuilding. Smiley: oyvey

Lol. Happens even in dedicated server rooms with raised floors. I was once attempting to pull a power whip to a new rack and instead of clearing the full length, I just figured I could stretch the cords to reach the outlet. In the process I managed to unplug the other three prong plug and brought down an entire rack of Ultra2 servers (yeah, that was the snizzat back in the day). At the time, that rack represented pretty much the entire design compute environment for the division. Ooops!

Yeah, they let me out enough to explore. I haven't done much yet, but I went to a pretty nice restaurant with the team today (which means I didn't pay, yay perdiem). I'm going to explore downtown tomorrow evening. Supposed to be some live music, and there is apparently a brewpub with some pretty solid beers. I didn't get a car this trip, which is annoying but has the advantage of letting you not actually have to worry about driving around and so not drinking.

As long as you stay around Broadway, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Avenues, you'll be ok.

Brewpub sounds like fun, also there aught to be plenty of bars with live bands playing rockabilly and the few bands I've seen from Nashville put up a fun show.
