I have been a cubicle dweller for most of my adult life. It’s not what I would have chosen for myself, but when it is raining, or cold, or brutally hot, I’m thankful to be indoors in a dry, climate-controlled environment. Still, it’s pretty soulless and draining.

Don’t wait until five to unwind. Bring the nightlife into your workspace with barstools, neon lights and pub-themed decorations.

Ah…would that I could do that.
