Do you work in an office, a cubicle or somewhere else?

me either thay dont want you to talk to the next person to you cant make friends that way only at smoke break lol the ones we had at one place we could look over to the next person so it wasnt so bad

I think honestly that cubicles leave a lot to be desired unless there is a window that can be looked out of ... I think that the companies that utilize cubicles are not employee friendly.

I am glad that you were able to see the other person, that would have felt less lonely for you.

I always enjoy working in an office a lot. I always love to work in a real peaceful setting where there is not much going on at all where we have to constantly run back and forth to places. I would rather stay within my area to do my office work; filing and data and handling confidential information carefully. I am always careful not to discuss any confidentiality outside at all. I might have to take lots of important calls within my desk to find out each customer's info and requests. Right? You know what I do certainly mean?

Hi bowtieguy, It would be nice if you less your employees decorate their cubicles... That would be far less depressing for them. It is good that you try to keep everyone in good spirits. Thanks for posting... By the way, what kind of business are you engaged in?

I do allow them to put up pictures, and we have decorating contest for chirstmas, easter and halloween.

Our library System is very close to the image drawn by u. I am working in a Public University, where Govt. allocate annual budjet for the University Expenditures and Library expenses also include in it. The big amount for Book purchasing and daily maintenance from this budget. The other Revenue generating sources are Fine system, the users who fails to return book on the due date, we charge them some fine per day, who lost the book, we recover new book from that user and also charge the fine if due date hav been crossed. Some Private Organizations and personals donate the books or Money to purchase the books for Library. This is the short Introduction of our Library and its system.

Thanks for sharing about the library system in your area.

Thanks for posting and for doing the work you do as you are contributing to the education of many people by working in a library. I am wondering how your library gets enough monies to purchase books. I understand that it can be difficult. Here in the States, the libraries get some money from the governments, state, federal and local, but normally rely on donations from the community as well... Some of the donations are involuntary in the form of fines if people do not return books and DVDs to the library on time after borrowing them. There is also a charge to use the copying machine at the library and to do a few other things as well. They also have a meeting room which can be used by the community and I think that people can rent that. They also ask for the members of the community to donate books to the library. They then have a Friends of the Library, a non profit, run by volunteers mostly, which helps them raise funds for books. That nonprofit sells the used books that are donated by the community (the ones that are not seen as being fit for the library perhaps because the library already has several of them or because their condition is not good enough for the library's standards). The members of the community then purchase the books and the library benefits from the purchases and can purchase new books. I am wondering if your library has a similar system?

Free food is indeed a big perk. Thanks for sharing about your office.

That sounds like a busy office... Thanks for sharing about it.

I am glad that you like your office and I hopet hat you will retire from the same company whenever that occurs.

You do indeed have the best locale, and the non monetary benefits of the job are great. Thanks for sharing about it.

I am sorry that you were laid off... I hope that you find something that you like even more.

It is good that you remain unaffected either way. Thanks for posting.

It sounds like you have a nice home office. Thanks for sharing.

It sounds like you really have an advanced home office. Thanks for describing it.
