Valleywag has culled its picks for Tech's Top 10 Workspaces from Office Snapshots, where you'll find plenty of other Best-Places-to-Work contenders. So how does your Cubicle measure up to the competition?" Pixar, Netflix, and other places. Makes the Slashdot Fortress look like a hovel even though we replaced the dirt floors last month.

    Plus there is nobody to tell me I can't have a beer during afternoon conference calls.

    Also, the dress code is much more relaxed - in that clothes are entirely optional!

    Note: working from home can instil bad habits, such as the above. Remember that other, real offices may look down upon such behaviour, so do remember to wear clothes for external meetings...

    Remember this: no matter how nice your office space is, if you're an "interactive agency" with an unspellable/unpronounceable name like "Tocquigny", you're going to be the first to go out of business when the Dot-Com Crash 2.0 happens.

    Enjoy the pretty scenery while it lasts.

    You know, I've heard a lot of people complain about that in the UK. Why on earth haven't they adopted AC yet? I know they have summers there, no?
    Our summers last about three days so it's not worth installing AC.
