‘My’ office space is quite small being the spare room in my flat, but it’s got some nice creature comforts and all my company files/stuff/training books close to hand. The office space at the client I’m based at now is the standard office – but not too regimented and quite messy which I like.

FWIW my desk is just off the right hand side of that third pic (#5242).
Oh, and the R&R area downstairs, which I only ever see when passing through to a meeting room:

I believe there's table football as well as pool. We also have a tame physio dishing out massages a couple of days a week. Mind, it's still not as good as the California office, where you can get a hairdresser to visit you at your desk

What's everyone else's working environment like?

Converted store room at the top of an old engineering building. Ancient radiators that dont work, air con with a mind of it's own. Windows all round but no view to speak of, just the roofs of the surrounding engineering works. Water stained ceiling tiles and a hole in one corner.
On the plus side it's 20 mins from home, management never come up here and the rate is half decent."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
