I had this dilema at one time too. How many people are in the office? It sucks because you knew it was snowing but could not watch, you could hear the thunder but not see the lightning. What i did instead was issues things like "chips and salsa friday". Just different things to bring light into the office. Makes it so much better.
my new, late summer/fall office showed up today. Lots of windows and it is mobile for seeing all kinds of scenery. Tim
