I Have an office at work. It's a typical office with walls, a door, an adjacent window into the hallway, a white board, and a seldom used pencil-cup. I actually spend the majority of my time at the office in that office, but in the mornings, when time and schedules allow, I like to take my laptop to the cafe on campus. There, I'll get a cup of coffee, perhaps a bagel or cup of warm cream-of-wheat, and take a seat up against the broad wall of windows. Using the fast wireless network I can sift through emails, prioritize bugs and tasks, prepare for meetings and do pretty much any and everything i would do in my office, but with a full view of the campus and lots of sky and sunlight. It's quite refreshing and takes the 'hovel' feeling out of the workday.
