When I first started back in July, our office layout was the stereotypical expanse of cubicles that one might expect in any larger corporation building. I didn’t mind this so much, except for the fact that I am an extreme extrovert and get energized from interacting with others. Being in a cubicle behind 4 beige partitions hidden from the sunlight and the world is not my idea of an inspiring working environment. I also do not like interacting solely by email or phone, and in fact, I would find reasons to get in front of those with whom I was working, as I found that we were exponentially more productive and creative when we could interact in person.
