Most people say they want a great view, presidential fringe benefits, or freedom to work anywhere outside an office when asked, “What’s your epic workplace?”
After 40 years of office intrigue, being targeted by the cliques I wouldn’t join, and enduring lighting levels that left me with daily headaches, I’ve finally achieved my idea of heaven.
I’m a sub-contractor working with people I consider family. I have autonomy over a specific job in a corner office with window blinds to control the amount of light inside, a 32” computer screen, and the fluorescent lighting outside my office is off.
Congratulations.

I suppose it would be strange for most people to walk into and office (my own office) with no lighting except for opening the shades. But, to me, it’s a great accomplishment. 🙂

And all accomplishments, whether they make sense to others or not, should be appreciated. 🙂

I always sought jobs where I could be outside all or at least some of the time. First time I have seen the evolutionary progression chart you have. What’s next I wonder? Maybe the grey naked alien stereotype?

I think we have clothes for a reason, and the older I get the more thankful I am that clothing exists. 🙂

Sometimes it is epic to have the smallest details that matter to our jo happiness and lighting is one (especially if it causes headaches). Like the evolution graphic, too! 😀
