LOL! Agreed. In fact I was just having a conversation 20 min ago with a colleague about making work fun. I am from cubicle land, and wonder what is with the battleship gray cubicles. Why can't there be more color, more light? A little goes a long way. Just looking at endless cubicles, one after the other makes me depressed. Even the internal applications that are developed by most orgs are depressing. The focus is on the "business" end, but if you ask me, it takes a little more effort to make any application pleasing to the eyes. I am not asking for a usability team ala Apple to kick in and tell us what makes a nice, easy to use application, just think of how you would respond to it. Most people go home and see sites like Gmail or Yahoo Maps, and wonder, why can't we have apps like these at work? And don't get me started on the dress code...
