    Sounds like good news. Would be better if you also get a new PC and less restricted internet access.

    Never going to happen I'm afraid, unless sabotage occurs. The shared computeer we can use to access to the Internet is out of service since a month but if someone manages to attach an access point with a private SSID without getting noticed... trouble is that many people put their dirty hands around almost daily so not going to happen.

      Congratulations! :) They've posted [a photo of your new desk](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/83/60/59/836059b939d6e0e3f0a626a990a8669b.jpg)! Lovely! :laugh:

      Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

        After years and several surveys where to the question "what would you as Santa for next year?" the answer has been "WALLS dogdammit!", and only 3 years o requests to my boss maybe, MAYBE I will move my desk in a small office with only two other people (one of those is the other half of my team AND my most direct boss). Fingers crossed and hooray! The downside is a smaller desk, the bright side is I will no longer be surrounded on 7 sides by people who work mainly by phone. And dumb coworkers who flaunt the rule "meetings shall be conducted in the appropriate room" by having long managerial or technical discussions inside the open space.

        Ah, but out of sight is out of mind, so, within a month (at most), you'll have people asking you: "Who are you, and what are you doing at our coffee machine?"

        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

          Not so out of sight - the new location is precisely 4 meters behind me and there are glass doors and walls. But it has doors and walls.

              Now it's time to move on to step two, which is a pro-active step. Enhance your diet with cabbage, beans, and garlic. Await the development of a de facto private office.* (Getting a device like this [^] so as to cause confusion and panic)

                Oh no, the two people in there are silent and incidentally the two people I need the most: my team partner and the electronic specialist. Also having my boss over my shoulder will cut down the distractions for me, improving my productivity and happyness.

                  Ahh - you misunderstand. You don't do it because you need to do it. You do it because you can. If you need those other people you can send for them.

                    Quite right. That's how a real boss thinks like!

                      I love that movie! The hero gets a (semi-)private office with (half-of-) a desk when he is promoted from Data Retrieval to Data Administration. A classic!
