Office Space

There was a theory that it would be beneficial for the average IT worker to be able to gaze far when they lift their eyes from their TFT/CRT:s. I'm sure that the people responsible for this fine thinking were thinking of a sight akin to the windows "green pastures" wallpaper, not of boring white office furniture and someone's neck.

Boy, this really relaxes your eyes and brain. I think employee number 143 needs to trim his neck hair a bit ... mmmmmmmm ... nice white, oh look, there's a stain.

I hate "open" offices filled with uniform white tables and displays. The thing that commonly passes for work is mind-numbing enough without having to share it with 20 or more co-employees, all in one large off-white space, careful not to make too much noise, always aware that their superior might walk behind them and interrupt their googling. I work better when i'm not in some fucking herd. I believe in a creative mess (being one), these offices are very much not fit for me. Maybe for herd animals or some financial people.

Some years back there was this tendency to separate working areas with glass walls. Great, I can't hear you but see what you're doing. Meaning that there will be no communication but you still don't get to work (avoid) in peace... Where the hell is the point with that, the whole idea must have been coined up by a retared CEO who wishes to show off his offices to the investors very often but doesn't want the said investors exposed to the kind of language that the workforce uses. Fucking hell.. I'm pretty convinced that without cocaine we would never have such contraptions.
