I bought a BURSJÖN storage stool from IKEA for office use this afternoon.
Perhaps you may think that it is an alarming signal of growing attachment to the company, I'm doomed to be stuck there forever! Well, the fact is I see my $19 investment as a way to get more real estate on my desk. I like to have more empty space. By keeping the files and papers in the storage box, I have a clean and neat desk which makes working more enjoyable. It isn't exactly expensive and it serves as a stool as well for colleagues at my desk for discussion. And i love the idea of customizing my work space. I will thrive in companies like Ideo where you get to hang bikes on the ceiling and an plane's cockpit sticks out of the wall!
At least one person doesn't see eye to eye with me and made it loud and clear. He exclaimed that some have big fat bonus and there's a need to feedback to boss bout company's poor infrastructure that staff must buy their own furniture.
Well, to consider my bonus, it is probably super pathetic compared to his. And not everyone can appreciate one's effort for better working environment. I think its a $19 well spent and I'll bring it along to my next job, cuz i ain't rich enough and one need to feel creative to do their best.
