Jun 25 2008Sky Ceilings: Like Sky Lights, But Depressing
Sky Ceilings are probably an old as hell idea. So old. Your mommy probably read you a news story about them when you were a child. Yet, here they are -- weird. Sky Ceilings were designed to mimic daylight and change with the time of day from sun up to sun down. They're for people like me that work in Cubeville and don't see the light of day unless they sneak up to the roof and contemplate jumping. Which I do frequently. The sidewalk just looks so appetizing from up here. Oh -- here comes The Superficial Writer, late as always and trying to sneak in the side door. *hooccckkkkkkkk*
Sky Ceilings make you feel like you're outside even when you're not [dvice]

they had these installed in the hospital where i had to have an MRI. i think there are certain use cases for these where they are not depressing at all and actually help users under stress. sure, its not the sky, but it certainly helps take the edge off when they are scanning for cancer or something like that.

SG, you have an impostor? Not so much fun is it?
As for the sky thing, I think it would be good for an entire room to have a sky ceiling. Am I getting more and more boring as the year passes?

. . . after that I really don't feel like saying anything. Damn it dude. . .
I have a ridiculous view from where I work. It a Neo Cube Great view of the downtown Manhattan sky line . . . but the extremely flamboyant gay dominican who sits behind me keeps hitting on me. . . God, I wish I were joking. . .

After 10 years in this same damn office, three walls, one partition and no windows, I'd love these lights... for about a month and then I'm guessing the novelty would wear off.

I think Michelangelo pioneered these a LONG time ago.

funny how my office moved buildings and we went from cubes to 5 people in a giant room with no cubes but a big ass window and we keep the blinds shut all the time. That sunlight stuff is bad for you
