Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It's surrounded on all sides by the building it's in. No windows to the outside.

Aren't most workplaces like this?
I don't know. I'm in Europe, Austria, and workplaces here MUST provide natural light and sight lines to the outside. There are, of course, exceptions for where it is not possible, such as photo labs or discos.
I currently work from a 15th floor and can see the Danube and stuff.
Where I live, it's a 50/50 possibility. I have a few jobs (privatized media/social worker, inn coordination, artist, and assistant teacher within the outsourced school system where I'm simultaneously a student/classmate), and in all of these, it depends on the layout. The hallways winds around in two of these. And in the case of the inn, I don't really have an office per se.
