sign above the desk:
“hello customers, welcome to the garage. i am your 4th floor guardian m-f after 4pm.”
–
we happened upon this happy workspace in a most unlikely place
with a comfy swivel chair occupied after 4pm
a christmas card that says ‘joy’
a boom box
a tiny desk
a plastic plant that dances
an air freshener
a snow globe
a piece of hanging art
and a welcoming sign
what a wonderful workspace
everything someone would need
what a special person
who welcomes you
watches over you
keeps you happy and safe
on the 4th floor
a safe haven in the world.

A corner office with windows? This person must run the place.

I love the quote. When I worked in radio I had a shelf full of silly figurines, family photos on my desk, movie posters on the wall and more. It was my home away from home. I do believe your workspace can help you be productive.

I believe that being able to personalize your workspace with things that make you feel good are essential to a productive worker. Personally, there should be one of those on every floor of a big garage, to make people feel more at ease! AT least it’s a bright space!

My workspace is comfortably cluttered and surrounded by 6 guitars and 2 ukuleles. It’s one of my inside happy places.

Our work went to open seating which depersonalized our workspaces. I only had a picture of my nieces and nephews, and a tiny texas bear. This was at the insistence of my coworkers, who had many more momentos. The change was very demoralizing to some and they made it known.

isn’t it interesting how that can really change things? i love how this person, with a space right in the midst of a very public parking structure, still was able to keep it personal, and fill it with important things.
