Describe where you work in detail. Office... view... how many colleagues.

I dont work as such, I go to art school. My studio and darkrooms etc is upstairs in the "Leith Block" which is very new and sort of architectural and fancy and futuristic looking. The Leith Block overlooks the "Waters of Leith". which is really just a glorified ditch. I love art school and the Photography department so much, I even come on the weekends. On weekends you can play music as loudly as you want. But it is better when everyone else is around. There are eight other fourth year photographers, and we all like each other quite a lot. Sometimes we do this thing called a shared lunch, and we bring heaps of snacks and treats and fizzy pop and eat and drink until we cant see.

i work in the music department at a high school. i have a view of a tennis court from the office. the office is small but its okay because mostly i am the only person in there so i get a lot of time to myself which i enjoy.

i guess there are about 50 teachers there. i don't interact with them much, except for the HOD's of music and drama. they are nice people. one of my bandmates works at the same high school so i get to have lunch breaks with a mate, cool.

its the students that are the worry, lucky i only tutor 5 hours a week. they are very juvenile, as teenagers tend to be, and i am scared of children. its something i'm getting used to though. thank god i ain't a teacher!!!!!!

I don't have a job. I'm sure it will be bleak and depressing when I do. Oh, to be rich and useless :)

I am convinced this lurks in the archives. Yet searching has turned up nothing. Fiddle.

Large office area that I have a nice little corner of -- where all the windows are. Even better is that there's nobody in the office area except me. This is due to slightly change in winter, but only because they're moving some bookcases in.

4th floor of a depressing-looking building in a crappy part of East London. it's quite a big company and i am currently surrounded by magazines, BBC audio books on tape, piles of proof reading, classical CDs and a soft toy of miffy the rabbit. the view - i can see Canary Wharf, the Milennium Dome and the City of London to my left (good view as i'm quite high up) and depressing shopping centre to my right. 5 colleagues in my team as well as me, but i guess about 100 people on this floor. it's OK.

all the blinds are shut, as they tend to be usually, unless it's dark outside. The aircon is purring ungently. Sensible Dave is sat next to me being sensible, while Gopal and Naresh are sat opposite chatting. The office contains 7 desks but those mentioned are the only ones currently occupied. this is in a 3 story building by the A40 in Greenford where there are no shops or pubs.

God, it's horrible

Hmm. You could set things on fire.

4 people work in a partially-sectioned off bit. Currently there is workplace banter involving avoiding getting out of our boss's boss's summer barbeque. I have the envy of my colleagues because I have Pete's birthday to attend instead. I have a window seat which is lovely for OGLING.

Tom, if your colleagues ever met Pete their envy would vanish like mist off the mountains.

Normally I am in the normal office - we have 3 buildings along Oxford St, one is full of the giggling blonde chicks in Top Shop's finest, one is full of boring departments like ours, and the place I am in today is a bit weird and usually used for training. It stinks of gorgonzola except the ladies' which stinks of Haze and gorgonzola. There is no air conditioning. But nor is there a constantly ringing phone or muttering colleagues. It is blissfully peaceful.

Someone told me this morning that I had the best desk in the place because noone can see my face walking past. This fairly ruffled my savoir faire until I realised she was referring to getting away with being hungover. Theres 5 floors here, loads of people, I'm the youngest, no surprise there. I have a vew of another building, theres a lovely girl working there right now. I know her from working here last year so I try to make her laugh when she's on the phone. This is the essential and pivotal role I play in the company.
