Working out of a cubicle is weird. You can hear all the people near you talking on the phone. -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 07:12 30
- My office is an adjunct slum. 5 desks with up to 4 instructors in there at a time. When 2 or more are helping students simultaneously, it's not good - psilotum Jul 20, 07:48
- My "favourite" people in this situation are the ones that insist on having every phone conversation on speaker phone, even when calling someone within - Reagen Jul 20, 07:42 7
  - I had a pilot in camp once insist on making every call from the office phone. even the ones to his girlfriend. asking about her medical problems. - mafic Jul 20, 07:48 1

  - what's even better is when half a dozen people have the same conference call on speakerphone at their desks - znufrii Jul 20, 07:43
- My office is incredibly loud. You can hear people's phone conversations, and really every other conversation too. - Callisto Jul 20, 07:25 8
  - If it wasn't for our open office I'd never know anything. It's gotten to the point where I'll ask "why wasn't I told about xxxx?" with the response - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 07:48 1
    - Yeah, I find discussions happen more naturally in cubicles. When everyone's in offices, you have to work more on communication -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 07:51
  - at my old office one guy was such a loud talker that people would go and close his door. - mafic Jul 20, 07:44 2
    - I wish our loud talkers were in offices. But we're all cube-y. - Callisto Jul 20, 07:46
    - we have a loud talker here ... she was banished to a corner of the building where no one else sits. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 07:45
  - My office, when I had one, was not silent certainly. Maybe I'm just not used to 'office noise' anymore. - ty97 Jul 20, 07:27

- I don't know if it would be more weird or less weird than working in a "pod" like I do -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 07:17 10
  - what the crap is a pod? -- nm - mafic Jul 20, 07:24 6
    - like a cube farm without cubes, all the desks are in relatively open clusters instead of sequestered singularly. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 07:26 5
      - I really, really hate open plan offices. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 07:27 4

  - Rock The Bells. Nas w/ Damien Marley, Big Boi, Common, The Roots, House of Pain, etc. - TFox Jul 20, 07:35 2
    - Nice...anyone stand out from the rest? -- nm - Jim Jul 20, 07:39 1
      - Big Boi was unreal. How he can go at the pace he does for 45 minutes without a full crew doing hype is amazing to me. - TFox Jul 20, 07:43

- I'll admit it...I know GI Joe will be the suck...but I still want to see it anyway. nm - Jim Jul 20, 06:59 3
  - I don't understand when people say things like that... don't go to sucky movies and maybe they'll make better ones. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 20, 07:06 2
    - Oh, I'm not going to see it. I only go see movies I'm VERY excited about...or kids movies. - Jim Jul 20, 07:30 1
