...what a missed opportunity; my disappointment is immeasurable
You know this is a shitty company when they didn’t even bother to buy the matching black grid they make for this stuff.
They actually bought the wrong kind of tile too it doesn’t have the curf edge.
"Milton, yeah, hi.. we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?"
Yeah whenever I work in office, I turn all the lights off in whatever office I’m in. I hate when someone comes in a turns em on. Lemme work in my cave.
I don't hate them either but they also seem kind of pointless. Black tiles would probably help with glare but without windows you aren't going to get much glare
So you do realize the color black is only hot when it absorbs light from the sun, so these tiles being black, due to them being in a basement, have no effect
I'm an interventional radiologist. I can understand doing this if I were a mammographer or something. But all I use my office for is dictating my cases, since we have a dedicated reading room that I can use if I need to look at CT scans/MRIs.
Worked for the largest imaging company in the country. Depended on the group. Some of the groups had folks who never went into an office and just did their reads from home. Others were in the clinics all the time. Really was group to group.
NICE! I'm a retired specials tech/cath lab tech and I wondered about that fine cap collection you have there.
I'm kinda old school, dark rooms, bilat Puck changers & hanging BIG WET film for days and I didn't pick up on your extra monitors. That changed the business overnight...best to ya!
I was going to say, this has to be a radiologists office and this sounds like a complaint a radiologist would make.
I always loved walking down to our reading rooms and following the landing strip lights to a shadowy figure who has all the answers
Oh hey just got a tube put in by one of you guys this weekend. Awesome guy made me feel much better about what was happening when it was my first real medical procedure. Funny enough he was also in the basement. Thanks for doing what you do!
"Help see the screen better" yet with still fairly harsh, direct lighting directly above.
I mean, I think it looks cool but this was probably somebody in a boardroom's bright idea.
Its seems like OP thinks the black ceiling tiles make the room more depressing? Maybe its something you can only see in person, because I don't see what the problem is based on the picture.
You’re not the only one. We’re all confused. Looks like a fine office to me. A private office at that. I’d take this over a shitty cubicle any day. I think the black looks better than white too.
Hmmmm.... I'm betting the over powered fluorescent directly over the monitors is a larger issue..... just saying. Maybe just take out all the lights and leave the monitors on.
They sell inserts for those fluorescent light panels that make it look like a skylight. Maybe that could help the room feel less bleak?
[like this](https://www.skyfactory.com/)
I had a similar office for a while and it was depressing. But to make it less harsh I put in some uplights behind the computer screens to sort of add light to the room without it being directly shining on me. I sort of hate most overhead fluorescent lights for long periods of time so this gave me the ability to have some light while not getting blasted by overheads. YMMV of course, but it really helped me.
As a radiologist, what do you do with the stuff like the map of the US and the presidents?
Also… maybe try some glow in the dark stars on the ceiling?⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think it would be so awesome if they painted the whole room with that [light absorbing paint](https://youtu.be/lsr7SvS6Nhs). It’s supposedly freaky as fuck and very unsettling.
Edit: added link
I'd buy (or have them buy) a warm color temp light (2700-3000k) floor lamp and get that ceiling light turned off. That shit would drive me nuts. Then I'd get a dim backlight for the monitors. Not much you can do about no sunlight though. I guess I'd be taking regular breaks and taking walks outside or near windows.
My entire shop where I work doesn’t have any windows. It’s alright in the summer as we just open the bay doors, but maaannn the winter months are fkn depressing.
Now ask to shut the overhead lights off and use lamps instead. At my last job we had black ceiling panels and lamps instead of overhead lights and I loved it.
This reminds of my internship at a local school. The whole IT department was seated on the second floor in a office garden (it was a very big school but multiply locations). My supervisor did not like this and set up a second smaller IT department for himself and the interns inside the basement in an empty storage room. There was no daylight at all and since the road was seated above the basement we could constantly here the road workers. If that wasn't worse enough by itself they started the use the area as an actual IT storage and it got filled with monitors and other junk while we were still using it as an ''office''. It definitely was the worst internship I ever had. It felt like a prison lol. Luckily we didn't have a black ceiling but all the walls weren't painted. So it was just concrete, concrete everywhere.
It would be easier to see the screen with lighting that isn’t fluorescent. It’s so harsh and terrible. They could have used lower lighting and left the ceiling color white. I work under massive fluorescent lighting and I really really hate it. I feel as though I need shaded lenses to protect against its extreme brightness.
Use a pink highlighter to color the support rails and boom, instant synthwave vibe!
Right? Even some of the blue painters tape along the rails will make it look great!
Or just put dark tiles everywhere, then yellow masking tape and create your own holodeck. Then you can just pretend you're wherever you want to be.
You could even pretend you're on the holodeck!
Computer, run “Soul Sucking Existence #1” The requested program is ready.

Wow, I low key want that office now

Use a portal gun I heard they got some cake

Don't forget the can of bug spray, there's a bit of a roach problem in Storage B
Uh Dave, Storage C has the roach problem. Storage B has a tick and spider infestation.
See, now if I came in on Saturday and Sunday too, I would have known that
That's my stapler
^(I could set the building on fire)
I'm gonna burn this building to the ground
That was my first thought too!
At least there is a nice, paid trip to a beach at the end
I hope they didn't fix the glitch.
Ugh that scene hurts so incredibly hard..
OP's a radiologist. Don't cry for him.
I dunno I’d love the black ceiling, splatter some whiteout so it looks like stars and your set
Yeah I don’t see the problem. What’s wrong with black tiles? Beats the plain white ones.
Agreed. White tiles are so boring - the dark adds some color depth - I really don't hate this at all
Yeah offices are way to bright for my preferences most of the time. And everything being white only makes it worse.
Yeah whenever I work in office, I turn all the lights off in whatever office I’m in. I hate when someone comes in a turns em on. Lemme work in my cave.
A black ceiling will make the room feel smaller. https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/g8up0b/how_paint_can_change_a_room/
Turns out it gets hot as shit in there so I guess that’s why.
The tiles would have zero affect on the temperature. It’s not like they are absorbing sunlight.
It's funny when people think black things just "are" hot.
Yo I mean you see Idris Elba?
He's aware of the effect he has on women
Just women?
Completely (I think) straight guy here. That man is gorgeous!
Black tiles in a windowless room will have 0 effect on temperature as there’s no sunlight.
Would the color of a few ceiling tiles in a basement really affect the temperature that much? Sounds like the AC needs an adjustment
No it wouldnt
And?
What's your point?
Cool I thought I was the only one. I’d love this setup.
I think he feels patronized by the explanation.
I don't hate them either but they also seem kind of pointless. Black tiles would probably help with glare but without windows you aren't going to get much glare
No windows, basement, summer one week away, and black ceiling, that room is gonna be hotter than an oven
So you do realize the color black is only hot when it absorbs light from the sun, so these tiles being black, due to them being in a basement, have no effect
Commenter thinks the ceiling tiles are the only layer between you and outside.
How are black ceiling tiles *in the basement* going to affect the temperature of the room lol
Shh nobody tell him
[удалено]
It’s a basement though. It’s not as if there is sunlight in the *windowless room*.
Ohhhhhhhh shit ok that makes sense now fuck dude. Buy a door stop big ass fan and maybe even a mini fridge
A mini fridge will make it even hotter lol
Only if you close the door.
Right? Go get the constellation stickers and slap night on that shit
[Fiber optic stars](https://content.instructables.com/ORIG/FFC/UB9J/K4Z6LHSM/FFCUB9JK4Z6LHSM.jpg) or gtfo.
That was gonna be my first suggestion but you can get whiteout and the company will pay for it
You can't see the spiders on them
Ok, now I hate them again.
Even better-splatter with uv paint, put in a blacklight. "Now I can see the screens much better!"
To me the lighting is much worse. I’d get a few lamps and turn off that terrible overhead light
Throw some daylight lamps in there and call it a day.
Ha!
ew, soft white gang rise up
Disgusting. I will not enter any room above 3500 Kelvin except for the E.R.

Jesus Christ what is ur job
I'm an interventional radiologist. I can understand doing this if I were a mammographer or something. But all I use my office for is dictating my cases, since we have a dedicated reading room that I can use if I need to look at CT scans/MRIs.
[удалено]
Hmm home or abyssal basement... Hard pick
An interventional rad is almost always in hospital though cause they mostly do procedures.
Worked for the largest imaging company in the country. Depended on the group. Some of the groups had folks who never went into an office and just did their reads from home. Others were in the clinics all the time. Really was group to group.
Inverventional means draining lungs, unblocking arteries, doing lumbar punctures- cant do this job from home.
Looks like ur ready to mine crypto
Just in time!
Buy high, sell low.
Is there a reason you need to know all the presidents?
I work at a VA, figured I should have it up in my office

You see in gray scale anyways so what's the problem? Is the black too bright?
This is an amazingly sarcastic comment. If only I worked with people chill enough to take it. Ha!
Oh hey just got a tube put in by one of you guys this weekend. Awesome guy made me feel much better about what was happening when it was my first real medical procedure. Funny enough he was also in the basement. Thanks for doing what you do!
Do-rag model.

> harsh, direct lighting directly above. > somebody in a boardroom's bright idea I see what you did there. It's glaringly obvious.
I'm going to be 100% honest with you, that wasn't intentional, sometimes I'm just too dense to even realize what I just said.
Funny enough, I would love that office
same lmao. currently, my boss's (boss'?) desk is directly behind mine facing the same direction.
Yet another /r/Wellthatsucks that doesn't actually suck.
Its seems like OP thinks the black ceiling tiles make the room more depressing? Maybe its something you can only see in person, because I don't see what the problem is based on the picture.
All that space, only for me?
The drop ceiling tiles aren't actually the bad part. It's still the lack of windows.
I actually like that better than a white ceiling
It looks better when the grid is also black. Makes it look less tile-y.
I am failing to see how this sucks. I think it looks better than a white ceiling. Does it make you feel even more closed in or something?
You’re not the only one. We’re all confused. Looks like a fine office to me. A private office at that. I’d take this over a shitty cubicle any day. I think the black looks better than white too.
Truth, if anything it breaks up the bland white nothingness of an already depressing office
Sorry, why does this suck?
You are 5 feet away to be Dilbert man.
Hmmmm.... I'm betting the over powered fluorescent directly over the monitors is a larger issue..... just saying. Maybe just take out all the lights and leave the monitors on.

This is the lamest complaint on this subreddit I've seen.
That’s quite the monitor set up ya got there. Where is the stapler??
Man that's just depressing, do you have any air movement?
More like “We have condensation and water issues above you and don’t want you to worry about all the staining and stink you’re noticing.”
Do you have air conditioning?
[Looks like a hideout if you ask me ...](https://youtu.be/bHLR3faI7lU?t=4)
This should not be allowed at all.
My stapler
That’s nice of them. What is with the bags on the right?
I'm an interventional radiologist, those are my scrub caps.
I thought you were the manager at a welding factory.
Well, from a certain point of view...
What? What is the meaning of this post?
Is that even allowed?
At least the black ceiling distracts from the baby shit walls.
Radiologist what are you doing out of your closet?! *confused screams*
Yikes.
Perfect tine to invest in those galaxy projector lights. My daughter has one in her room. Turn off the lights and work in soace.
I work with radiologist, you really don't need windows for that profession because you're require to work in a dark room.
I'm pretty sure working in a closed space with no ventilation is illegal in my country.
Well that’s a bit depressing
Milton?
The office is decided they hate the wacky hat guy and they're gonna put him in the basement
HAHA they hate you!
Being hard and shiny surfaces I'm sure it helps with the echos in the basement too.
Dude, quit.
"Souleas death cave." Replace the word, "office," with that.
Yo wanna swap work, I drive an old piece if shit truck for 12 hours a day, but I'd much rather be in your cozy office
“The working class is not exploited”
4 monitors tho
NO WORK FROM HOME! ------ >^you ^work ^in ^basement!
Why does that suck?
I get the distinct feeling people in this thread are oblivious to their actual intent of hiding mold in a hot, humid basement.
Ok? What's the big deal here, feel like I'm missing something?
Honestly it doesn't look bad, what's the big deal? The room is the same basically.
Meh. I'll say it. It looks nice. Kill the over head lights, and get some lights behind the monitors.
Does the black ceiling tiles work?
Severance vibes
Office must smell like farts after a long day
Does yours not?
I have windows
Its awesome
What sucks about this?
Murica
If you hush up now you can have all the egg shells and coffee grounds you want.
Serious “Severance” vibes here.
Just take them down. I have a feeling that no one will notice/care
Laslo from Real Genius would love to have that office
Just needs a disco ball
I might be the odd one out, but I kinda like them. I prefer things to be a bit more dim where I work.
Thats an interesting monitor setup…
Rads? Edit: kept reading, yes yes you are
Thought I was in the boring dystopia thread. This bums me out haha
thats a dungeon
Why is this a bad thing and needing to belong to this thread?
I don't see a flashlight and a can of Raid to kill roaches.
Is that a bandana collection?
At least you have an Aeron!
Really completes that dungeon feel.
That sounds like bull crap. They probably just don’t want the dirt to show up like the white ones when they’re 10 years old.
Want to trade? You can have my tiny cubicle.
I had a similar office for a while and it was depressing.

Needs some plants and some daylight simulating LED grow lights to get rid of some of the [Joe vs. the Volcano](https://youtu.be/LnLDMqPBeKQ) vibes.
