Describe
your work location (e.g., office, home, theatre, in the field) and what
you like/dislike about working in it
We have three offices within an office buiding. In the office I'm in, there are four sets of cubicles. Each set has four cubicles. Everyone in a position similiar to mine is at one of these desks. I don't like it because we're on the phone quite often with taxing agencies and it can hard to concentrate. I do like it because I don't feel isolated from the world all day and if I want to ask a co-worker for advice or help with a case, they're right there.
