How many permanent work spaces have you had?
We're about to move offices, and it got me thinking. Counting only full-time jobs you've had since age 18 (i.e, jobs that weren't "temporary" in your mind), how many different work spaces have you had?
I started my career in 1986, and I think this is my history. Job 1 1986 - Sat in a bullpen in Office Building 1 1987-1988 - Sat in a bullpen in Office Building 2 1989-1991 - Sat in a four-person cubicle in Building 3 Grad School 1992 - No office Job 2 1993 - Private office in Building 4 1994 - Office in Building 5 1995 - Office with slightly better location in Building 5 1996 - Office with slightly better location in Building 5 1997 - Slightly larger office in Building 5 1998 - Bigger office in Building 5 1999 - Office in Building 6 Job 3 (Current job) 1999-2001 - Home Office in Building (House) 7 2002-2003 - Office in Building 8 2004 - Office in Building 9 2005 - Change of Pace Office in Building 9 2006 -2007 - Change of Pace Office in Building 9 2008 - 2009 - Bigger office in Building 9 2010-2012 - Change of roles office in Building 9 2012 (Starting tomorrow or Thursday) - Office in Building 10 There may have been one more office in Job 2, but I honestly don't remember. So in 23 years of work, I've had 18 different work spaces in 10 different buildings, despite holding only 3 jobs. Kind of interesting. Or not. But it's the internet so I can post it if i want. |

Cube farm Cube farm (cube across the aisle) |
Pretty much all the work I've ever done has been out in the field so I haven't really had any designated work space. Although I do have a shop with a desk at my current job so I guess that's the only one.
|
Way, way too many to count.
|
Thread is flawed. If it was a permanent work space, then everyone would only have one.
|
Also too many to count. Had a cot in the back room of a bar in college to nap out during the day between classes, worked in radio and tv stations, office bullpens, had my own office with a door but no windows, now I'm in a cube farm, but I have a corner cube with a door and windows, but no real "privacy." My door is always open, except when I leave to go home. If my door is shut, people know I'm gone for the day.

1. Part time in HS and college breaks I worked at Macy's on Main in downtown KC. It was an open office space, I and moved from one work station to another depending on my task of the day and which desk was open.
2. Graduate school 1: I had an desk in an office with 2 other students and a lab. 3. First real job I was in a cubicle. 4. Grad school 2: I had an desk in an office with 2 other students and a lab. 5. Still in grad school. Later on I moved out of the basement and had an office up with the faculty, but still shared with a couple other students. 6. Current employer. Office was in the basement with a window overlooking a parking alcove. Office flooded once. I was in there for 17 years. 7. Got an administrative position and got to move up to the 2nd floor. Nicer office with carpet, a better window, and a closet. I love that closet. 8. Got a second administrative position and a second office. Huge, with a conference table, and love seat. My office has seating for 9, although I have never had more than two guests at once. This office is in what used to be a downtown department store, so I guess I have come full circle. |

I'm considering joining a gym near our new office, and if I did I'd have to figure out how to store extra clothes. Alas, I have no closet. |
