Here's mine

Post #124,758 by broomberg 11/8/03 6:31:48 PM Reply	Here's mine I "share" an office. I constructed a bookshelf wall thats gives about a 6 feet wide hallway that you need to come around in order to get to me. I filled it with software boxes / manuals at the very top so it goes to the ceiling. There is no light or noise that can intrude without me wanting it. Then someone else moved in. He got the corner by the door. Poor SOB. [link\|http://www.users.voicenet.com/~broom/office.jpg\|http://www.users.voi...~broom/office.jpg]

And yes, the lights NEVER go on. The Linux monitors are 21in flat screen Sun branded Sonys. Meant for their high end graphics workstations, when they had them. The Win monitor is a 19in Hitachi. I've added lamp positions. They are all directed toward the wall or ceiling with the exception of my desk lamp, and they are variable so I keep them very low unless I have a visitor and we need to draw on the while boards which surround the room.

In the graphics room the only light was pinpoint spots and the light table. I always wanted that environment. I have had it for the past 7 years. You can send a resume but we don't have any openings for your skills at this point. We current are looking for a VB person and a project manager.

In places with union maintenance I'd have to explain to the troll twice a month that I wanted it like that. My ideal environment ever was a server room where they put me due to lack of space - I was in heaven. F-lights all completely off, small table lamp with a 100-watt incandescent bulb across the room, all sorts of twinkly LEDs, green and red - every day was Christmas! My boss even would turn the lights off after visiting :) -drl

But subconsciously... >:) I was one of the original authors of VB, and I wouldn't use VB for a text processing program. :-) Michael Geary, on comp.lang.python
