1.
|
My lab-mates sleep in the office, and I find it disturbing to be working hard only to see my neighbor relaxing.
|
|
2.
|
- Don't have a permanent office yet.
|
|
3.
|
I'm teaching, and I have two classes of my own to attend
|
|
4.
|
Interaction with others is helpful, but not that frequent, so I feel like I can often get more done at home.
|
|
5.
|
too much distracting stuff going on.
|
|
6.
|
I am done with coursework. I am working on completing my MS Thesis and
I live in Fremont because my fiance, who lives with me, works in the
Valley. Hence I don't come up unless I need to.
You can always work on the servers remotely
|
|
7.
|
Better ergonimic setup at home.
|
|
8.
|
I don't even come in once a month. I have a pretty awful 1st year office.
|
|
9.
|
no windows
|
|
10.
|
Parking!!
I come 3-4 days a week.
|
|
11.
|
It seems the building is empty most of the time. This may be due to doors being closed.
|
|
12.
|
Noise, from both people and equipment. This may just be in 490 Cory.
|
|
13.
|
Distance. Advisor not around. Now interviewing, dog-sitting, life...
|
|
14.
|
Commute.
|
|
15.
|
I have no questions most of the times, and think about by myself is also a good training.
|
|
16.
|
Sometimes, working in the library gives time and space to think by
myself without distractions. But I have spent a lot of my time in my
office too.
|
|
17.
|
Computer fan noise is unbearable, impossible to concentrate.
|
|
18.
|
My research is mostly individual (people in my group work on different projects), and I feel that I am more productive at home.
|
|
19.
|
I work at a different place than Soda.
|
|
20.
|
Too busy browsing for porn at home.
|
|
21.
|
It is convenient to work from home, and often coffee shops are nice to work from.
|
|
22.
|
Live far away from the school
|
|
23.
|
I have everything I need at home to do work, so why come? However, I
think coming in regularly would have helped productivity although the
office does get very noisy. Some officemates like to chat too much.
|
|
24.
|
I'm not aware that I have even been assigned an office
|
|
25.
|
I only came into my first year office a few times a week because it was
too cold. (I told the people at the front desk, but they could not fix
the temperature.)
|
|
26.
|
I live 30 minutes' drive from campus and gasoline is expensive.
|
|
27.
|
I get much more done at home (quieter, my computer is better, etc.)
|
|
28.
|
I come every day.
|
|
29.
|
I come almost everyday, but for the most part, no one else is here - it
*severly* degrades the quality of research here. The main reason I go
elsewhere is because no one else is around - if there aren't people
around, I may as well go to a coffeeshop and work - at least they have
coffee/snacks.
|
|
30.
|
A person in my lab is too loud and bothers everybody.
|
|
31.
|
I used to come more often, but now see that it's not a good idea. It is
much better to work at home - no people around, much easier to
concentrate.
|
|
32.
|
overhead of commuting; other places to be.
|
|
33.
|
I find my office uncomfortable. I prefer to work other places.
|
|
34.
|
-- Length of commute. -- Lack of interaction with other students. Many
students seem to be drawn to labs outside of Soda. This has a terrible
effect of collaboration in the department.
-- My personal computer at home is faster than my machine at school.
|
|
35.
|
It's not the nicest place to work. Plus it's a little hard to focus around people I'm friends with.
|
|
36.
|
no windows
|
|
37.
|
It's loud and uncomfortable in the office so I feel that my time is
better spent working elsewhere (and my officemates don't really work on
the same research area as me).
|
|
38.
|
Two reasons: transportation expense and system support. The first is
relatively minor.
The CUSG- and SWW-"supported" systems are a joke. Software is left
partially installed. Try the Sun compilers with OpenMP on argus; most
department Suns are missing the required OS patches to run the
compilers. The TeX system is antequated even though there are many
trivial-to-install versions available. Our desktops are old, slow, and
breaking, but because of the miserable support, the only reasonable
choice for replacements run Windows. That's useless to me and actually
hurts our research.
So I'm left either maintaining my office system myself, or just working
at home. At least in the latter case, I get to keep the results.

|
Too noisy
|
|
40.
|
Usually, I come in almost all days. But when I am writing code, I
prefer undisturbed atmosphere of home, so sometimes I stick at home.
|
|
41.
|
I have an office at Intel Berkeley, where I spend some of my time.
|
|
42.
|
No computer resources. Research is done on personal equipment at home.
|
|
43.
|
i live in another state
|
|
44.
|
Not engaged in research with any of my officemates.
|
|
45.
|
I come in more often (because of classes) but I find I get more done at
home because of a long commute and less interruptions at home.
|
|
46.
|
1) Too many distractions in the office
2) Office space condition is worse than my own room
3) Only one lab mate, who is also infrequently not there
|
|
47.
|
in my first semester i didn't come in super-often because i live in san
francisco and didn't feel i was getting much from coming in every day.
this semester, due to my schedule, i'm here every day.
|
|
48.
|
My office was in xxx Cory where it gets very hot sometimes. We open the
windows, but since there are no screens on the windows, this lets in
large insects which are distracting. If the offices were more
comfortable, I would work in the office more often.
|
|
49.
|
Working at home and cafes is easier and more efficient.
|
|
50.
|
I come in more like 3 days/week, but still.
* I live down the hill and I am lazy about walking up.
* I need to get a lot of writing done and I prefer doing it with coffee -- and Brewed closes too early.(7pm)
* I have no classes at the moment.
|
|
51.
|
I am more productive at home. There are fewer distractions.
|
|
52.
|
Phyiscal enviornment is not clean, properly temperature controlled, nor ergonomic
|
|
53.
|
I live on the Berkeley-Oakland border due to the lower rent and it
takes me * 45 mins to get to campus -- so I only come in when there is
a talk I wish to hear or there is a meeting.
|
|
54.
|
It is quite possibly the worst working environment I have ever seen. I
hate it. It is cramped. I did not feel safe leaving anything there for
very long. It was not particularly quiet. It was dark and gloomy.
Public areas (labs and alcoves) are much nicer.
