I parenthesized it on purpose ... because _for me_, it's a small detail; personally, I really enjoy being in open office environments, even if it was full time ... and I feel fully productive there. The part time thing is more a mix of laziness and enjoying going to lunch with my wife ;) But back to the point I was trying to make, this works _for me_; and I acknowledge that it doesn't work for others. I was only trying to balance the discussion such that it's not assumed that everyone despises open office plans, because it's not universal.
