The View. You can usually see the Baltimore skyline out my window, but it's pretty cloudy today.

Good move grabbing Greenland. Nice buffer if you own North America or Europe.

BTW - Is your job to watch Greenland melt?

Yep, and communicate the risk associated with said melting (from what I gather).

johnnyd It sounds like @thousanddollarquestion has to play Risk every day to get a decent spot. That is madness!
I mean, do some chairs have gross stains? Do some co-workers not shower? Drafty spots to be avoided?
There's got to be a lot going on there to tighten the old mind-vice before you even start routing ships!

We route ships. Big ones.

Some carry bulk goods (sugar, grain, barley, etc etc etc etc)
Some are container ships, carrying just about anything.
Some carry cars, trucks, buses.
Some carry logs.
Some carry sheep, cows, guyutes.

you get the point...

These are essential questions.

I mean, have there been significant sea mishaps that could have been avoided by assigned seats?

"Boss, yeah, I know we just lost a 1,000 ton freighter off the coast of Reykjavik, but dammit it's not my fault, I was in the icky seat and got distracted by this gum under the desk."

you're on the right path. I sit in a a draftier spot in the office. so I always, even in summer, carry something warm just in case. We keep the comps clean. Mutual respect around the office, so everyone cleans fairly well. We have plenty of tools to disinfect.

the biggest fight is chairs. it is comical really.

Why do fart jokes ALWAYS crack me up? Have to kick on a cough attack to cover my slacking!

relax_ We got a new microwave and a full-sized fridge! I think the bosses are trying to make sure we don't scare off the new guy. A dorm room style mini-fridge and a microwave w/ a missing rotating glass bottom do not scream "THIS COMPANY IS IN IT TO WIN IT!"

@MARCO_ESQUAND0LAS, awesome video, haha! Makes me wish we high-fived more around here.
