Journal Entry #14

In a previous journal entry I discussed how working in certain environments tends to promote a more positive work attitude and outlook.  When I wrote that journal entry I was working primarily in a cubicle located in the middle of the room in the interior of a building.  Since then, I have received a promotion and was given an office with two windows!

 Now this is not my old cubicle, but it is almost identical in size and location.  

While I did not hate working or my job, I can say that being secluded from nature for 9 hours was a little difficult.  I found myself wondering what the weather was like outside, was it raining, windy, sunny?  There were many distractions simply because it was easier for my mind to wander about considering what all was going on. 

Now that I have an office with windows, I find that I am more focused on my job and have a more positive attitude in general.  I find that my mind does not wander trying to figure things out like the weather because...I can see it for myself!!

In general, I think it is very important for not only moral, but for my sanity, to be able to have some contact with the outside world while being at work.
