OFFICE QUESTION- for anyone and everyone to answer!?

The best answerer will most likely get 10 yahoo ask points.

Here's my question/conern:
I just got hired into a finance firm, and I work in a CUBICLE for about 8 to 10 hours each day. Sitting about 7 feet behind me is a very large and NOISY printer that has an internal fan running all day inside of it. I try to ignore it, but, it's not easy. I asked my manager if the printer can be moved to another location. She said no, but did offer me the option to switch MY location. So, naturally, I did. The new cubicle wasn't without IT'S fair share of problems. The A/C made the spot very chilly, and, since it is away from the printer, you can now clearly hear the office's fluxtuating A/C system- sounds like "brrrrrrr, ::pause::, brrrrrrr, ::pause, brrrrr..." So, now I have a dilemma. Stay with the Printer, or move to icy-annoying land. I am afraid that if I move, I will find the new spot as WORSE, and then the OLD spot (next to the printer) will be taken up by someone else. SUGGESTIONS PLZ

There is a great new book called Cube Chic by Kelly Moore. Gives you some ideas to personalize your space.

Here are some website for cubicle/office accessories, including fans, filter systems, "noise" reduction machines, etc...

I'd go with the noisy printer only if the people traffic won't interfere with you. The cold area can be warmed up, plus keep a jacket at work. The A/C is probably going to be a heater soon, so definitely think about a fan. Pick the area you can adjust to, not just one you "think" you'll like...

Stick with the cubicle near the printer. The other has 2 problems..it's cold and annoying. The one you are in has only one problem...the sound of the fan. If you do stay in your present cubicle try getting a pair of noise cancelling headphones. You can wear them during work and they help to eliminate ambient background noise, while allowing you to still hear important things around you.

Bose makes a good pair, and the best thing about them is that you can also use them as regular headphones with your stereo, MP3 player et al.
