    Fuck I wish I had a cubicle.

    I've got 2/3rds of a cubicle. I constantly feel like I have my back to the room. It bothers me a lot.

    We need moar floors
    I've got half an office, because they didn't bother putting up the other walls.

    I've been moved 5 times in 6 years at a cost of $3000 to facilities
    Damn, our company is cheap. We make our people move themselves.

    :whistle: There is power in a union :whistle:

    honestly imagining your company unionizing and o_O ing a little internally

    lol
    We aren't unionized. The moves are handled by Building Management. They're totally union and good for them.

    There are no other people but me in the entire office except two cats. Because the office is my home.

    Ironically, the cats will still come to my office door and start meowing to bug me.

    On the other side I just took all my stuff into an office one day and claimed it as my own. Had an office for like 3 months, it has downsides of loneliness if you are used to people around in cubicles. The upsides almost always outweigh the down.

    I'm in a shared office space, but I made the tactical move of making sure my screen was pointed at the wall. I often slouch a little and can be completely hidden behind my mac.

    Yeah, at my last job my entire team (8-ish people) was in one room and we all sat in basically a giant rectangle made out of long tables facing the middle -- there was a huge TV in the corner and we would sometimes put movies on and stuff so it was pretty cool.

    I enjoy my superchaotic office floor with 12 desks.
    Then again my work isn't superdeep knowledge wise, but it is incredibly wide so we need to be each others lifelines at times. "It's been 9 months since I last did this how does it work again" is probably 20% of my workday.
    I also spend less time procrastinating in full view.

    For your select problem, on the csv run a formula on the column to format it correctly (turn "XX" into "'XX',")

    Copy column

    In select statement, include

    where [column] in ([paste all the column at once from the csv])

    remove the final comma that was pasted

    Ghetto but it will take you far. Gets more complicated if you need to match against multiple columns.
