My last blog entry got me thinking about where people work. The ClickNwork site has profiles of a number of people that work with us, and some of them have added pictures of the view from their office window. You can see them by clicking the the profiles for the individuals at http://clicknwork.com/profiles.asp.

They are very different: from the busy Chennai street market scene seen by Ravi to the sort of vista you would design for yourself (if you had the opportunity) that is enjoyed by Dave in New Zealand.

They could be working on the same project, doing the same sort of work, while all around them their very different lives are carrying on. I find it fascinating – perhaps I need a hobby? – and it underlines how rapid  communications have brought the disparate parts of the world together, to some extent.

I thought I’d add a picture from my window – just to prove that the sun does shine in England. The outlook is a bit short-range when you compare it with my colleague John’s view from his 17th storey office window, overlooking Central Park in New York. But he doesn’t have a shed!

The point is, you can work pretty much anywhere, but I would have thought that there would need to be some fairly specific reasons for the working environment arrangements below to be appropriate!
