Confessions: Yes, I want to be entirely surrounded by desk.
At my work, in an open seating area (next to lots of floor to ceiling windows with a gorgeous view), there are currently a bunch of excess tables stashed.
Some of these tables are arranged so that there is a circle in the middle containing a chair. I find it difficult to explain just how much I want to crawl under the tables so I can sit in that chair.
I'd actually go and do my work there except:
* The only way I can get decent network access is being plugged in via Ethernet cord; wireless is available but has some inexplicable and utterly frustrating latency where it takes seconds for commands to show up via SSH. For somebody who spends most of the workday working over SSH and with Google Docs spreadsheets, it's just unworkable to have network access that slow.
* I don't think there's a power plug near this circle of wonder, and my laptop's battery is almost two years old and gives me about half an hour before whining about imminent death.
