Here's my question/conern:
I just got hired into a finance firm, and I work in a CUBICLE for about 8 to 10 hours each day. Sitting about 7 feet behind me is a very large and NOISY printer that has an internal fan running all day inside of it. I try to ignore it, but, it's not easy. I asked my manager if the printer can be moved to another location. She said no, but did offer me the option to switch MY location. So, naturally, I did. The new cubicle wasn't without IT'S fair share of problems. The A/C made the spot very chilly, and, since it is away from the printer, you can now clearly hear the office's fluxtuating A/C system- sounds like "brrrrrrr, ::pause::, brrrrrrr, ::pause, brrrrr..." So, now I have a dilemma. Stay with the Printer, or move to icy-annoying land. I am afraid that if I move, I will find the new spot as WORSE, and then the OLD spot (next to the printer) will be taken up by someone else. help...SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

Sounds to me that regardless of where they put you, there will be environmental influences. See if the vent can be adjusted to where it doesn't blow on you, wear a sweater or even wear a jacket and maybe they will get the hint you're cold.eventually, as for the noises, in time, you won't even notice them...

I am very noise sensitive also. But I guess I would put things in perspective and go with the printer cubicle. I would MUCH rather listen to a noisy printer (I would try and think of it as white noise) than a bunch of 20 something-year-olds throwing wads of paper around and talking at the top of their lungs. That is what I get to listen to at work. And no, I do not work at a fast food restaurant. This goes on at a large nationwide cable/internet provider.

Listen while annoying, you are so lucky that this is your biggest problem! First to have gotten the job, second that it's not an annoying loud boss or co-worker, third that it will be nice and cool this summer. Take a deep breath, grab a sweater and look on the bright side! I'm going to work tomorrow to a pissy boss, low pay AND no cubicle. I should be so lucky!

Ask around the office to see if anyone else will switch with you. You could also look at the ergonomics of the office to see if there could be some changes made in the arrangement of the office.
