Office distractions..

I have just moved jobs and have found that I now have a great view of Windsor Castle from my office, was just wondering if anyone else is lucky enough to be able to kill time gazing at a marvellous bit of architecture..

or any other nice view of course....

I work in downtown Vancouver, and I have a sort of view of the ocean, Stanley Park, and some mountains. Very pretty, and sometimes it is sort of distracting... mesmerising, really. I can see the boats come and go, the occasional cruise ship. Yep, very picturesque.

Windsor Castle sounds very pretty.

My office overlooks a golf course-sometimes I watch and make fun of golfers!

I used to work in Downtown Detroit on the 19th floor. I could see for miles and miles, but not much to see actually. Then they started building a huge office building right across the street. I watched the construction for a year, FASCINATING. But then all I could see was that building. :(

YOU have it good, I love castles. I am from the states. and i have never seen a real and authentic castle in person.. Enjoy it.

I have a view from my cubicle--of the parking lot! But, it is a lovely lot with beautiful landscaping and I can see the sky and the hills in the distance. Luckily, it isn't a busy lot. Butterflies and hummingbirds come by to say hi. My view is better than the one that some people in superior positions have. I do treasure it.

I have a view of the elevated train tracks, but if i look behind me I have more trains to look at and now they've ripped all those tracks out. But its been raining all summer here, so its really green and pretty...lol and there's construction as well, so every so often you feel the building shake which scares the crap out of me. I'm waiting for the foundation to say "excuse me while we slide on out of here."

I used to live in Windsor right across from The Long Walk. Say hello to Peascod Street for me if it's still there. It's the street that the statue of Queen Victoria is looking down on. My address in Windsor when I lived with my parents was a townhouse complex named Edinburgh Gardens. My first job after I'd finished college was at King Edward VII Hospital, Windsor, Berkshire.

I left home at 17 yrs. old, and moved in with a girlfriend from work to a flat in Eton High Street, over the dividing line (River Thames) from Berkshire to Buckinghamshire. The High Street was so narrow that at night when we went to bed, we could hear people snoring in their rooms in the hotel across the road.

Have you been to Marlowe yet and Monkey Island?

I work on the eleventh floor overlooking a municipal airport, tollway, and traffic. My only distraction are the damn birds runnin' into the window!

I work from my home, outside my window I have a view of a pasture and some pine trees and the neighbors back yard, in the front are more pine trees, more pasture, to the side is more pasture and woods......I get to work in my pjs if I want and take breaks when Im sleepy or hungry :)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Jannie . . . don't rub it in . . . I remember those days when I used to work from home . . . :(

LOL PEACHY....sometimes it is not so good though. SOMETIMES those pine trees and pastures seem to be crowding me in and I live on a dead-end street with only 1 other house on my street so if I let my grass grow really tall you couldn't even see my house...hey I could become a hermit and order everything off the NET....I could become a little B..ches house in the woods, oh excuse me I mean witches house. :)

SO SOMETIMES I have to get out or I will go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! But when I think seriously of going back to the office to my Dilbert cubicle as Nessa said and working with all women and hearing and dealing with all the petty things women fight about, I get hives, so forget that, Ill stay home for a long time yet. :)
