The way out is through
Default I need some goddamn sunlight!

The most time outdoors in the daylight I get these days is the 40 seconds it takes to walk from the car to the office door. The rest of the time I'm either holed up in my crappy fluorescent-drenched cube under the stairs, in the car, or it's dark out.

I'm getting stir crazy and depressed! Those JGTC tickets better work out, or I'm just gonna go on a shooting rampage this weekend instead... you know, just to be doing something outside.

You need some crazy office exposure.
Or you could randomly move into someone's window seat.

I don't like driving home in the dark, but this time of year, I get great sunlight blazing into my office all afternoon, so i have to spin my blinds so I can see my monitors... Here is a picture out my safety glass windows right now... Still a bit over amped by the sunlight...

If you look at the Truckee river office tower from the west, My office is on the left side of the bottom left balcony near the top of the building... 13th floor North West corner... When I go for a walk to stretch my legs/eyes, I get to see the entire valley except for the southern 90 degrees or so.

This is 2 blocks east of Harrah's Casino right accross from the fire station on 2nd st.

Many don't, but 13 in a lucky number in many cultures, and as it was built by a Casino company with customers from allover the world, the building has a 13th floor, as do all our casinos with 13 or more floors.
