I wish I could fill my cubical with bean bags. This has replaced the dream I once had of pinning up a hammock in my office. I'm not any closer to this one than I was to the last one, but you have to dream, right? I wouldn't mind having a few inches of padding under the carpet and a disco ball hanging overhead. Every cube should have an espresso machine and a mini-cooler for Diet Dr. Pepper. We should all come to work in shorts and tees. Everyone would have fast workstations with bleeding edge graphics adapters and be forced to game on LAN for at least a few moments out of their day... mental exercise. Every wall should be mottled with climbing holds (another use for the padded carpeting) and floors should be connected by fire station style poles and stairs with varied leveled steps. Every floor should have an area that is acoustically isolated from the rest of the floor, filled with plants and supplied by a filtered air system, and have some type of water sculpture that is athletically pleasing, providing subtle ambient water noise to fill the otherwise silent room. Every cube should have a live oxygen feed... kinda like an O2 bar at every desk. There should be a smoking area on the roof that is sectioned into three areas... cigar, cigarette, and marijuana. The fitness center will have a lap poop, hot tubs, and saunas. The work week is only four days long in this company in my mind... three twelve hour days and one 6 hour day. There are Golden Tee golf machines in the vending area/break rooms and a half day lab on proper coffee creation is a mandatory part of company indoctrination. Abusing the coffee machine is grounds for termination... no pun intended. All interoffice communication that is not verbal will be electronic. There will be no printers in the building. If you want to apply for a job, your resume must be in an electronic, non-proprietary format to be considered for employment. Office furniture will be regular furniture... not "office furniture". People with be regular people... not "corporate sheep".

It's just a thought.
