    I thought having an office was cool except its kind of lonely and depressing.

    Unfortunately my office has no windows. Not a big deal, as my previous workroom didn't have windows either, and I rarely worked in rooms that had windows at client sites. Actually, now that I think about it, I've never had an office that had windows to the outside -- just to other rooms or hallways. That's kind of depressing.

    Cube. A rather large one, actually, on the side of the building (which is covered in windows) with a nice view.

    Not like it matters, anyway. Our company's (300-400 people) CEO has a similarly sized cube, too.

    Office. But doesn't matter. All that matters is the paycheck. You can keep the parking spaces and the offices - give me the money. :cool:

    Got lucky and got an office as a fresh out of school 22-year old. It's only really because of our group's location in the building and how they accommodate engineers but old people who have been working there forever give me a hard time about it.

    I always liked having an office, but I met my wife when we had adjacent cubes.

    I worked for a company as an intern and as a college hire. For the first seven years of my career I had a private office. It was awesome. Seriously, people that have never had an office and only worked in cubes don't realize how awesome it is to have an office.

    When the company moved to the "open format" there was a lot of complaining. I had Directors and VPs that had been in nice, corner offices for 25 years all of a sudden thrust into cubes. It was painful.

    Being younger, and having a fairly decent paycheck, I got used to the cube situation fairly quickly. It bothered me at first to no longer have an office, but now, I just don't care anymore.

    I've moved companies and have an even MORE open workspace now. I have a cube thats part of a pod. Its not so bad, but now I miss my "private" cube now a little. The huge raise and promotion to change jobs greatly outweighs it, but its funny what you take for granted.

    I think its slightly funny that as a lowly intern I had a private office with a window, and now as a team lead in a high profile group, I have a shared workspace.

    I do, however, hope to work somewhere someday to have an office again. My wife works for a small private company where everybody has pimped out fancy offices.

    People who still have offices: appreciate them. They rock.

    EDIT: Which companies in Houston still have private offices for all employees? This sounds shallow, but it would be a marketable thing for me to go work for a company that provided private offices.

    Office with great views of Chicago's awesome skyline and a bit of Lake Michigan.

    I appreciate the privacy, and not having someone behind my back.

    LOL you're like 3 min away from me. Sorry, I'd rather not say the name but it's near the corner of Kinzie and LaSalle.

    But I think I lose it at the end of the week. I'll have a cube in Calgary. Only the second time in my career.
