I would be more worried that whatever picture she sends will just be a cover to infect you with ransomware. I've always been careful to try and avoid viruses and malware but these cryptowalls are something I'm actually scared of.

It's simple rule! If Miss Rita comes to you in personal, and then tells you that she has interest in you (which most women don't do), then go ahead. Give it a try!
But, ignore these digital cases, if you would reply, let's say... She sends the pictures that are not infected or other programs that you may run to harm yourself. It would still open your account to potential spammers, you don't want spam services, do you?
The thing is, ignore these emails. They are simple spam, Outlook, Yahoo and other similar services have a very bad spam filter. Also, as far as a virus is concerned, if you do not click something you don't know. You are protected, safely.  I have been using Internet since a long time, using many networks and I never installed Antivirus in my entire life. Because, I simply do what I know I am doing. Most viral programs are downloaded from "Click me to see my secrets" kind of posts. 
Ignore what you have no idea about, and you're good to go. Um, and yeah, pay my regards to Miss Rita.  Will you?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Facebook where Lil' Rita took an interest in you.

Not repeating thread titles endlessly for different discussions?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pros:
Really nice building that was built by a bank a few years ago, but who are now moving... The building cost €11 million (it was in the papers at the time) and it's modern, environment friendly etc.
Everyone got two new big-ass monitors to replace their old one.
My commute went from a 15 minute drive to a 5 minute drive (by car) or from a 45 minute drive to approximately 20 minute drive (by bike, which I usually take to work).
Cons:
For now we share the building with aforementioned bank (not sure if that's a con actually...).
We went to a more open space office plan. We do have walls made out of glass, and we're getting stickers to make them less transparent, but it feels a bit uneasy... Everyone hears and sees everything, at least that's how it feels like in my head.
Not sure if the pros outweigh the cons... I guess I'll see in the next few weeks

As long as you don't have dress code it's a plus. It's always nice to see them getting irritated by the lack of aforementioned.

We're on different floors, so it's not such a big deal

A bank is involved: of course it's a con!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

All the pros sound nice.
We're moving in November to a shiny new building in a more prestigious location. Translation: traffic will be more of a nightmare than it is now.
Like someone else said, headphones. The big, over the ear kind. Also, try to get a spot at the periphery of the seating with your back to the wall. Jack your monitors up as high as comfortable. If all that fails, cardboard is your friend.
Open seating was designed by millennials who have FOMO. Give me some frickin' cube walls to isolate myself and so I can hang a white board to think with.
Yeah I'm a geezer.

What would be the one, reasonable, change that could be made to your place of work to make it better?
Particularly looking forward to Griff's response to this?
I've asked the question, but don't have a ready answer for myself.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I could go back to Windows 7? It's tempting...
And I could get someone to replace the "leather" back to my chair with real leather, rather than having it on my "To Do" list for me to do (I did the seat pad a year ago, but the back is now cracking up)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Close it.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

WALLS. Open spaces SUCK. Especially if it's choke-full of soccerfags soccer enthusiasts and there are at least 4 matches per week.

Walls was what I was thinking too.
Although not because of Soccer.
Currently trying not to listen to a conversation two pods of desks over about potatoes.

European potatoes or African potatoes?
