Everyday I go to work, I’m always reminded of Star Trek. Our department floor layout is broken out like honeycombs. In my little part of the honeycomb, there’s 5 of us: me, 2 of the producers, the game designer and a marketing manager. And we all sit and work side-by-side in a circular shaped workspace.
Somewhat like the Starfleet bridge of USS Enterprise, but only difference is, instead of where Captain Kirk would sit at his chair, there’s a long rectangular sofa bench. Comfortable and big enough for 3 guys to sit on and play FIFA 11 on the big screen TV at the end of every workday.
See the black jacket hanging on the chair there and the 2 computers monitors? That’s my part of the circular desk. Right beside the big honkin’ TV. On the other side of the tv sits one of the producers, seen here draped in the Ghana flag.
It’s a fun little workspace. And yes, I sometimes feel like Uhura. Not only was she the chief communications officer, but she’s the only woman on the bridge.
