When I started in N-1, I was given a small piece of a lab bench for my own work. I had to share my bench with one of the general use computers and a pile of hardware. Today, I was given an entire lab for myself. It's really sort of a cubicle, but two of the walls are real walls with full height and lots of outlets. It is bigger than my office, has a lockable door, tons of bench space, and even some leftover instruments from the previous owner. And it's all for my projects. WOo!
