also my boss has asked me to work out what happens if we change a box height to 285. i've already shown that going from 250 ro 230 is a good thing. i'll sit here and do nothing

But 6music is always on in the background to hide any awkwardness.

I try and not speak to anyone the whole time I'm here.

cunts. I wnat my old corner office back, with the bevelled glass.

Is that weird? I get out of work and want to talk a lot.

I've asked for a radio but been told no loads. The days DRAAAAAAAAGGG when it quiet.

early mornings, later at night. It can be very loud, to the point where people all around you are cackling and reciting loud nob jokes while I am trying to talk to a member of the public.

except for one chap who spends all day, every day shouting down the phone. He looks a bit like Gandalf without the beard and is really, really annoying.

Nothing special. It's more lively than my last place which was like a fucking morgue.

I have music in my ears the whole time I'm sat at my desk unless the phone rings.

We talk to each other obviously but everyone just gets on with work / procrastinating.

How sociable are you with colleagues outside work hours? Me: zero.

I often find myself whispering to people, half wondering why I feel the need to whisper.

...or quiet as I choose it to be.

I usually put music on loud.

It says something that I'm the 'chatty one' and I hardly ever talk. We usually have the radio on in the background (Radio 1 or the local station) to cut through the tension.

lots of chat, quite a lot of audible arguments and a fair amount of pissing about. The loudness normally increases as the week goes on.

i tend to have headphones on for the entire day so i have no idea really.

then it's quite loud.

if the learning team are in then it's incredibly busy and quite loud, but when they're not here it's often more sedate and quiet. When it's loud I have to wear headphones in order to get any work done as it can get incredibly distracting.

thursday - quiet
friday - very, very quiet

Timed essay/exam: silent
Me pontificating at the board: medium
Groupwork: riot

broke the ground for construction a four story building 50m from my office more or less the day I arrived, then started on a second one right next to it as soon as they'd finished the first.

Plus, all last month there were tradies outside my office window setting up scaffolding and clambering about on the roof. It sounded like they were using the space as a training ground in preparation for the shot-put events at the 2016 Olympics.
