My office area at work is way too quiet.  There are about 10 people, each in his/her own cubicle, and it's still so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat.  Everyone can hear each other's phone conversations.  Everyone knows what everyone else is eating for lunch.  Everyone knows when anyone gets an email.  Everyone can hear what people are listening to on their headphones.  I think we need one of those white noise machines.  It wasn't like this at my previous desk.  There were only 3 people in our little office area, so it wasn't quite as threatening.  And before that, I was sitting in a little room by myself.  That was awesome. #business
