Not everyone loves going to work during the week. Some people in fact hate their jobs. However, where you work, the actual office space in which you work could have a major impact on your working life and your attitudes to work.
If you work in a beautiful office space that is situated in a bustling city, with a great climate, you’ll be more inclined to enjoy your job than if you worked in a drab office on an industrial estate somewhere in Slough; much like that of David Brent in The Office.
Here are some of the coolest places to have offices in the world and the best locations for prime office space.
• London
• Dubai
• Dublin
• Paris
• Vienna
• Geneva
• Madrid
• New York
• Mountain View, California
• Las Vegas
Some of the office space locations are self explanatory, such as London, Madrid and Paris for example. They’re in capital cities, the shops are plentiful, the architecture is beautiful and standard of living is exceptionally high.
Mountain View, California is the home of Google and its famed office space layouts, with beanbag chairs, luxury break rooms and gourmet canteens and thus one of the coolest offices anywhere. Dubai is a relatively new office space location but one of the best locations in the world for entertainment and weather.
Job hunting? World at your finger-tips? Give one of these locations a try to boost your potential career satisfaction.
Australian real estate agent Open2View have launched a QR code property service.
QR Codes were first introduced in Japan in 1994, where the QR stands for “Quick Response” and the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at a high speed. They are now used in both commercial and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging). The codes store addresses and URLs and can appear in a range of multimedia such as magazines, signs, buses, business cards and more. Several online applications exist where you can create your own QR codes, such as Kaywa’s QR Code Generator.

If you’re not on Twitter, the micro blogging service, then this could be a reason to jump on board.
Why I hear you ask, well an £800,000 house featured on the TV show Grand Designs is being given away for free.
The premise is that the ultra modern house will be given away if a web site linked to the Twitter profile fills up with enough paid for adverts to meet the asking price.
You may recall the Million Dollar website created by a student who made a fortune when advertisers bought squares on a giant grid, well homeowner Tim Bawtree hopes this will be the next big thing.
All YOU have to do is follow @Pixahome to have a chance of winning.
The house appeared on the TV show in 2007 and Tim has not been able to sell it without a loss since.

Imagine the scene: you’ve just woken from a peaceful sleep to hear the washing of the waves on the shore. You move to the door, and when you open it to find the beach and the sea spread out in front of you. You’re in a beach house on the coast, and you’re looking at one of the most beautiful scenes you’ve ever seen.
Where are you? You could be in any number of places in the world, such as Florida for example. There are many beach houses for sale in Florida with views of the sea that would leave most people lost for words.
Equally you could look down under as there are also houses for sale in Australia that can be found right on the beachfront, perfect for those early morning ‘barbies’.
Of course you don’t have to go as far afield as Florida or Australia as there are beachfront properties to be found in Europe as well. You can find property for sale in France that has views of the sea, especially in the South of France in the heart of wine country.
If France isn’t to your liking you might like to search for property for sale in Spain in one of the country’s many beachfront towns. Spain is rich with culture as well as sun. If it’s ancient history and buildings that interest you then looking for property for sale in Cyprus could be just what you’re after.
So, Big Brother is back on our screens, sigh? A Playboy model, a bisexual Russian boxer and an Oxford University graduate are amongst the 16 hopefuls.
To be honest, I don’t think I will be watching it much, but the house they are living in definitely deserves a mention. The show’s producers have cut down on some of the luxury furnishings of previous years - there’s no hot tub! for the time being anyway! A big thumbs up from me though, I love the design of the new Big Brother house.
