What's your office like?

I can't remember if I've seen a similar thread or not, tried searching and found nothing.

JFor those who work I've been in many offices -- from the plan to the ultimate exotic. Just curious -- What's your office like? Do you have a view? Are you in a cold scary basement? Computer setup? Pics!

A friend of mine who went on to start a large datacenter had half of a VW beatle coming out of his wall in his office. A lot of strange, crazy things. I'm working on getting pics, it was neat.

I work for myspace but remotely in the IGN entertainment building. So imagine a bunch of tv's with video game consoles of every kind, everywhere. Flat screens on our desk with the Wii, xbox 360 or ps3 hooked up. We also have a 2 LAN rooms plus an arcade. LOL! Most departments have a mini fridge and ours is stocked with beer and alcohol.

Its a fun young office, and we all like to party and drink.

Oh and my view is of candlestick (or whatever it's called now) park where the 49ers play.

I'm pretty fortunate... I work in an office with a view out to my car. Talk about personalized parking security! Oh... and I can't stop looking at my car either.

I have a cubicle with some papers pinned to the walls. State jobs suck.

We have offices in NY, Chicago and LA. But for IGN, this is the headquarters. For MySpace, we're in LA. Man, the LA office is even better!

Ahh I've got a state job too and it isn't THAT bad. As a part-timer and a student, I don't really get an office... I have a section of our "lab" which is actually decent sized that I work at. However, the cool toys I get to use *more* than makes up for not having a dedicated office.

Example:
- PDA
- Dual 19" monitors
- Dell XPS Workstation: 4gb ram, 4ghz HT, 2 x 150GB Raptor 10K HDDs in Raid 0, Dual 9800 pro vid cards etc etc etc
- Dell XPS Laptop: Equally ridiculous

... not bad considering that most of this "PC Power" is used posting on here. :rocks:

Thank you Missouri Tax Payers!

I get to look at a wall. Just a long desk with a bunch of computers and chairs.

We all cut up and laugh/talk a lot. Decent work atmosphere if I wasn't so unhappy.

Just glad I don't have a cubicle.

My house. Or wherever I'm driving to. Sometimes the ghetto sometimes mansions, depends on whos getting divorced/foreclosed/summoned etc...

The only thing I don't like is I don't have as much interaction with new people like I did in the office setting. But I'd rather work for myself then meet new people and have to answer to some dumb ass manager. Which I make more than now haha, that pissed him off. The day I came in to pick up my stuff I brought in my new E90, the look on his face was priceless.
