Life An Office Dilemna

**Rain Man** · 01-13-2012, 11:29 PM

I'm going to be moving offices soon, and have a dilemna.

I am considering between two office choices.

Office A is a classic corner office with windows on two sides. It's a pretty big office, big enough that I think I could put a couch in it as well as a desk. It's got great views of a city scape and some distinctive buildings like the art museuam and the state capitol and the library, and you also see an urban park and just a teensy bit of mountains. It gets a lot of natural light and is bright, but the down side is that it's a southern and western exposure, which means a lot of direct sun. My guess is going to be that it may be hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter.

Office B is a window office as well, but only on one wall. It's a western exposure and probably has only one-third of the window space as Office A. The view isn't nearly as good since it looks more or less across the street at another building, but if you stand at the window and look left, you get about one-fourth of the scenery stuff that you'd get with Office A. However, it's an enormous office and has more of a den-like feel. In addition to a desk you could easily put a couch in, and maybe even two couches facing each other for a meeting area. It also has two very large built-in bookshelves. It doesn't get a lot of sun since the building across the street blocks the western exposure, but would probably have a more stable temperature as a result.

What do you think?

Views are for women and gay people.

Go with the more comfortable option: Office B.

Well, I think it'd be more comfortable. I can't stand direct sunlight when I'm indoors. It glares on my computer screen and makes it really uncomfortable when wearing formal office attire.

Too much sunlight?

MIAdragon · 01-13-2012, 11:34 PM

Ceramic tint, go with A.

Knock down the wall between them and take them both.

Shooting spree?

Dude, the VIEW is what makes the office... the extra space will end up going to waste UNLESS you plan to put a jacuzzi in the bigger office. In that case, always go with the jacuzzi option.

Views end up as a distraction for me. I can't get any work done.

Common knowledge.

I voted "A" unless he was going to use the extra space for a beer pong table.

What you really need to do is just take the whole damn floor as your office. You've earned it.
