>Do you have a private office at work? It is like sitting in the same pod as a teammate. And therein lies the problem: we should all have a private office wherever we work, preferably without crappy lighting and with suitable heat / cold temps and a comfortable chair and so forth. Instead we get open offices with the guy three feet away feasting away on his boogers all day and the guy next to us whose headphones leak noise everywhere. This is such an issue for me that it is one of the top five reasons why I went freelance - so that I can work in enjoyable professional settings with good hardware.
