Something I've noticed previously and in this thread - nobody just says "TV" anymore, it's always more specific now that a big screen is regarded as something of a status symbol.

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is more than just a thread asking what you can see ;)

Off topic in your own thread. :faint:

I sit next to a window and on a daily basis I see one of the neighbours across the road who we have nick named 'Buddah' because he has a massive belly and does his gardening with no shirt on in all weathers.

 

Other than that, a main road, a bus shelter that is frequently smashed and another house that has excessive Christmas lights up all year round.

To my left is a person, behind him is a window with a view of a road lined with lots of huge trees. Quite pretty. In front of me is a hlaf height partition so I can see the top part of the french guys head and his screens. Behind him is another window with a view of the car park. To my right is another person.

 

Oh and a whiteboard with all our stuff written on it.

I am standing in a small shop which normally has goods for sale. There are areas of the shop intended for the display of treasure. There is an exit south, above which hangs a sign, reading: "Leave Treasure Here. Please note that only two objects may be removed from this shop. So choose carefully!"

 

There is an aqualung here

There is a bunch of keys here

There is a cup of tea here

There is a steel rod here

or those Steve Jackson adventure game books. Still got them somewhere.

 

Mine were stolen from my (unlockable) locker at school but I bought them again on eBay many years later.

 

Freeway Fighter was the obvious favourite.

 

I spent a lot of time on the text games on the computer too... "I don't understand".... followed by the typing of naughty words, it was funny when later games could pick up on those and tell you off :)

 

Anyone remember "Grannies Garden" on the BBC?

Views out of the window next to my desk...

It's an infinitely better view than the windowless box we used to be in.

 

In front of me I see two 20" LCD monitors (I'd like a third, but don't think I'd get away with misappropriating a 24" widescreen for the centre). Too much paperwork, a dead hard disc awaiting collection, some CD's, memory, fibre transceivers, "Hardening Apache" book, a mug with a picture of Thulhagiri Island on it, a little black Supra model, and one of those laser etched images in glass things of Buddha... which lights up and flashes multiple colours at a flick of a switch.

...I was also going to add that the office is one big open plan space covering pretty much the whole of this floor of the building. I've a few plasma screens on the wall behind me showing various monitoring graphs etc., and a kitchen and break area over on the other side of the office to my left.

On my desk:

 

Far left to right: three In-trays, a disused clipboard, a stand for putting things on, my phone, an inspiring picture of some Kendo action, my PC, a model Corvette, some display stand thing, several folders.

 

People: Directly behind me is my bosses office with it's ever open door. 98% of my time is spent feeling like the back of my head is being stared at. Off to my right is a blank wall. Behind me, at an angle, are the guys from purchasing. We take it turns to whistle annoying tunes. To my left are the sales team. There is a window there. I can see clouds. Infront of me is a yawning abyss. It has sucked the life from me yet every day I go back to it, looking to leap in but always seeming to end up backing away from the edge.

 

North is a maze.

Directly ahead...30" monitor, pictures of boats, calender (Scottish Castles and various picturesque views), schedule, pics of family, all against a dark brown cork tiled wall.

Behind me...large cork tiled wall with loads of boat pictures on it.

To my left, glass wall with pictures of boats all over it, sideboard with model boat on it.

To my right, windowsill with model yacht and toy Supras on it, window through which I can see Canford Heath, a gypsy camp, a building reclamation site, a weather balloon, Oakdale, clouds and a car park.
