Damn - for the past 2 months i have to stare out my window @work and look at this freakin walmart super store be erected in front of my eyes. this is by far the most torturous things I have had to deal with as an architect. The parking lot is like 3 time the site of the building. theres and airport next door - i wonder if a plane will ever crash into the building obliterating the BIG WALL BOX. I guess the only solution to this problem is to quit my job... i like that solution. Any other bright ideas????
was there a point and I just missed it? is he keeping us in suspense? how is this "brilliant"? personally I get hives after about 10 minutes in WallyWorld..
Yeah, he probably got the idea from the last Rollins show. Rollins said that Morgan Spurlock (not sure if that is the spelling) should live in Walmart for a few months and film it.
I say: get some trace paper, run it across the bottom portion of the window such that it hides the walmart, tape in place. then, you will get translucent light, and you can look out still above it and see the sky!
Also, I work in a basement with two tiny windows far on the opposite side from me that i can only see a couple car bumpers and a brick wall out of; and STILL I would prefer that to a view of a WalMart. Ugh.
Sounds like this guy just ripped off the plotline from "Career Opportunities"...the old John Hughes flick with Frank Whaley Jr and a young (and yummy) Jennifer Connolly. He just did it at Walmart instead of Target.
yeah mabe if it was an ikea insead of walmart i could go and BUY some blinds!!!! oh wait walmart has blinds mabee some office furniture to stack in front of the window
Walmart :-(

If your view is the most torturous thing about your job- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT QUIT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry forgot to add the sarcasm in there
the most annoying thing about my job----- "are you done yet""are you done yet""are you done yet""are you done yet""are you done yet"
Think up some project you can do in there to alleviate your feeling of helplessness

Somehow I bet you wouldn't be complaining if the store that moved into that big box was IKEA instead of Walmart. My advice: close the blinds.

Put up a mirror the width of the window. Then you can watch yourself drafting and admire those mouse clicking desk posture skills.
