A candy dish is not only a good thing to have when you're craving a sweet treat, but it can also be eye pleasing as well. Grab a bowl from home that is colorful and appealing or a unique looking jar. M&M's and skittles can add lots of color. Peppermints make a nice arrangement as well as other types of hard candy. Trying to stay away from sweets? Grab some trail or granola mix to munch on. Candy dishes can change with the seasons and holidays as well.
However, when trying to troubleshoot more complex issues, this is where this line of thinking fails. When working on things that involve maintaining the state of several systems in my head at the same time, I'll ask people to report bugs by chat or email, I'll put on my headphones, and ignore the world around me. The solution to this problem is to take the lesson I learned from my college group project and apply it to your situation. If you know you have something really complex to do, use chat to let your colleagues know that you'll need X hours of uninterrupted time to work on a complex problem. Ask that they chat you if they need something.

IN THE 1960s Robert Propst, an inventor and artist who had patents in heart valves, livestock-tagging machines and aeroplane parts, was asked by Herman Miller, an American design company, to find problems outside the furniture industry that could be solved with design. He flooded the company with concepts ranging from agriculture to medicine, but in the end found himself drawn to the problems of office life. He was particularly troubled by how sedentary people were. The consequences were clear in insurance and medical data. As a sufferer from back pain, he understood the need for regular movement and good posture.
Not that I'm a private person. Contrary to that introverts-are-the-only-people-affected New York Times piece, I am an extrovert. At a Fast Company retreat, no joke, I tore my ACL while doing a very acrobatic karaoke. Stone-cold sober. But I don't wander around forcing everyone to look at my vacation photos, so I'm not going to subject them to 20 minutes of a bunch of overheard personal chitchat either. When I had an office here, colleagues popped in regularly; we had fun. I started a little Whiskey Friday gathering, where everyone was invited to come drink and chat. It was great; we killed off bottles with respectable speed. But we haven't done it since I moved: Not everyone here is on the same schedule, and a Whiskey Friday in the middle of the office is just a gigantic interruption.

What workers need from their offices has long been clear. A flexible workspace that encourages movement, combined with mobile technology, could finally liberate them from the cubicle farmbut only if employers pay heed to the evidence, rather than the short-term savings. Even cubicles were Utopian before the accountants took over.
Now, how does this affect the customer my husband was talking to? How would it have affected you if you were on the phone? Number one, your opinion of the company would have significantly dropped. You may have been glad you were talking to this particular representative, but over all, you might be more inclined to switch to a different company for that particular product if they called and sounded more professional. Also, it may have even hindered being able to understand what the representative was saying on the phone, and distraction one of a salesman's worst enemies. One of the worst things, though, is the tendency to take the representative less seriously, even if at first you thought he might be able to help you. Just like the phones ringing in the background may push someone to call, the laughter in the background could cause you to ignore the advice of this young man who works in a laughing office, if only because he could not understand the needs of a real business like yours.
