I saw this interesting article on slashdot and thought it would make a good topic:

Tech's top 10 workspaces: http://valleywag.com/387593/techs-top-10-workspaces

So, what is your work environment like?

(I'll post mine later)

lol You'd piss yaself at mine. Our business is almost 100 years old and the premises we are in probably arn't far off. Its half house/half factory kind of thing here and I'm in part of the house, tucked up stairs out the way looking at porn. My desk is too shameful to deserve a picture you can barely make it out with all the sweet wrappers, bits of paper, tobacco strewn across it, lemsips, coke cans, and somewhere in the middle of it is the pc.

We have been in these premises for about 45/50 years now and they are in severe need of restoration but it just isn't going to happen, one day I will fall through the floor straight onto the lads below me who work here. I drop pencils and rulers in my office and they fall straight through the floor into their room and then when I'm passing during the day they kindly hand them back to me.

Moving people from one house to another, we get every kind of people, rich/poor/back/white. I even met the Queen's righthand adviser, so it's different each day.

My office is pretty dull tbo. We moved here recently as the company was expanding, so they wanted extra space for more desks. All the employees thought it was going to be great. Big new office 'n all. But it was a total let down.

The new place we are in has two separate parts to it ,and in between is the hallway/kitchen/toilet area. But the nicer part of the place is the where they decided to have the meeting rooms. We now have 3ish meeting rooms for a company with only 14 staff?! 3ish because there is a big room with a big meeting desk, but then on one side of the room are two couches and a coffee table for a more casual meeting area. Then there is a big glass room which is the executive meeting room (even though it has NEVER been used yet).

So the 14 staff are all in the other part, with desks set out like a shitty business office rather than something which will promote creativity.

Switch: Knee Deep In Clunge; +489|6934|Tyne & Wear, England

Being a student I still have a shitty part time job, I work as a barman in a pub.

That being said, since the smoking ban I actually enjoy working there. A lot of the time I do day shifts and the bosses just leave me to it. Since it is like a graveyard in there during the day I just throw a few darts or play some pool. Now I don't know many people who can beat me at a game of pool after all that practice!!

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Someone I know, recently lost their eye working in a similar place.

You probably didn't want to know that though.

I should have been blinded at least two dozen times over the years. the only time I protect my eyes is when I'm welding. only because the arc is much brighter than the sun.

you want some real fun, get some gasoline in one of your ears. It's like being hit in the head with a cinder block, very slowly.
