Sharing has its perks.  You will always have somebody to talk with and go out to lunch with.  Learning how to live with a stranger is great training for marriage too.  Get Bunk beds however. lol

There is a great new book called Cube Chic by Kelly Moore.  Gives you some ideas to personalize your space.  \n\nHere are some website for cubicle/office accessories, including fans, filter systems, "noise" reduction machines, etc...  \n\nwww.hivemodern.com     www.squidoo.com   www.perpetualkid.com\n\nI'd go with the noisy printer only if the people traffic won't interfere with you.  The cold area can be warmed up, plus keep a jacket at work.  The A/C is probably going to be a heater soon, so definitely think about a fan.    Pick the area you can adjust to, not just one you "think" you'll like...

It's not really a "pro/con" type of thing.  It's a matter of having two options and deciding which is best for your situation.\n\nStatic (fixed) IP addresses are better when you have only a few computers.  There is not much of an administrative burden in tracking the addresses which are used.  In this case it is not worth the time and expense to set up a DHCP server.\n\nDynamic IP addresses are better when there are many computers.  You set up a DHCP server and it handles allocating IP addresses.  It is better because it removes the burden of tracking IP addresses from the administrator and reduces errors.

For me it's good.  Me and my husband used to work in the same company when we were young and he was still my boyfriend then.  When we're in the workplace we just do our jobs and act professionally.  It is also good to share the same problem and solve it together.  I think the best thing to do is set aside personal feelings whenever you're inside the workplace but once you're outside you can do whatever you want with each other.

Yes, with the permission of your local zoning board you can convert your single building into two properties, similar to converting your two stores to condominiums, or cooperative retail space.\n\nPresently, the common usage is the water, but after conversion the common areas will be many such as the roof, foundation, exterior walls just to name a few.  You will want both owners to pay regularly for upkeep and maintenance, and there will need to be an adequate reserve fund in case repairs are necessary.  \n\nYou must seek a commercial real estate attorney's advice on this.  He can help you decide on the type of ownership that is best for you.  If you convert your building, a separate entity, a Condo or Coop Association, is created to define and safeguard the legal rights of both owners.  Large office buildings "go coop or condo", but usually the cost of converting is too expensive for converting one building into only 2 stores.\n\nYour attorney may suggest less expensive alternatives.  He will go over the benefits you receive and problems you take on by splitting the ownership.  And help you answer the question of what happens when you decide to sell the property to which you are keeping title.  \n\nPerhaps a long term lease is a better idea and makes more financial sense.  Another idea is to take on a partner in ownership who will have certain financial responsibilities in exchange for a share of the ownership.  You can also sell the entire property, and lease back the one store you want with the right to sublet it.

Yes it is possible.  If you are using a windows network, the   configuration is almost identical to that of having 2 wired computers. \n\n1. Configure all computers on the network to have the same workgroup\n\n2. Enable file and printer sharing on both systems\n\nThe configuration all depends on which operating system you are running.

Probably a room because if you had a computer in a shared room, the person you are sharing with could find out some personal things such as passwords or what you are instant messenging about. Please give this a "best answer" award.

I don't think there's a way to shut off the sharing after a certain time every single day.  the only thing you could probably do is just go into your Printers section and "unshare" it when you leave work.  that's kind of a pain the in butt, but it's probably the only thing you can do, short of stealing the printer cable and taking it home with you (that would be pretty funny, though).

My work is very lax about this, so I can surf around. I think most everyone will tolerate a little bit of non-work related browsing, but it is true, you should limit it. I would generally use my co-workers as a reference point to know exactly how much is ok.

Office Space is hysterical.\n\nMy manager at RCN reminds me of that man to a tee.

I think there are more challenges than advantages in this situation.  First of all, if you all don't have the same naming conventions you are screwed right off the bat.  Secondly, how are you going to split the work?  Because you can't have people working on the same table or query or report at the same time.  It just seems like a nightmare to me.  I develop extensive Access databases and much prefer to work alone.  I have an assistant, but I keep him mainly on troubleshooting and maintaining databases after I have created them.  Who knows how many problems you will run into.  Is this a school project or work?
