To me, the desk-location doesn't matter as long as no one can see* my monitor screen; and I am happy to be sitting at one. 
So,

1) Doesn't matter since I work in a corporate park - no scenery outside
2) Centralized air-conditioning here
3) Doesn't matter as I can always use notepad/sticky notes**.
* -> Yes, unfortunately where I work, it's possible. 
** -> No, I do not stick passwords to them. 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

 Why? What are you surfing for?

I don't know, I'll ask the Russians to see if the secrets are worth keeping.

That is true... Specially when you have coworkers that love to peek at other peoples screen.

I've never worked in an office like that. The only privacy I have is keeping the font size small enough that no one can read my screen without rolling their chair closer.

Here too. The thermostat is exactly the right temperature. My desk, on the other hand, is about fifteen feet from the nearest thermostat, and I have to wear extra layers most of the time to avoid hypothermia even when it's boiling hot outside.

I'd be leery about a location with WIndows actually; Unless you have a northern exposure, getting a layout where they neither let the sun glare on your screens, backlight your screens like a floodlight, or blind your visitors at least part of the day is nearly impossible. 
Most of the whiteboard users where I work end up taking the large board they've acquired* with them every time they move.

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?

You didn't mention whether your new destination is wall-to-wall skirt? I guess from the tone, it isn't.

Wall to wall skirt? I don't think so.

Why is the The Oatmeal's NSFW comic about utilikilt wearers popping into my head?

I feel your pain.
I was moved from a full wall height cube with lockable storage, a phone, a white board, and the ability to work from home when I wanted to a "collaborative space" where I have about 4 1/2 feet of table top space, no phone, no white board, no storage, no quiet, and must report to the office 5 days a week.
Very dehumanizing.
My back is to the majority of a wide open expanse where there used to be cubes, I really don't like having my back to the room, I jump easily.

That does sounds like a bum deal.
I whinge every time there's a threat to move me a long way from the window (I'm currently one desk away from the window seat) and so far it's worked to keep the spot.

I just moved to a cube with a window. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) East-facing.
In my previous cube the A/C blew pretty hard on me and I froze. In the new one the vent is directly overhead so it doesn't blow on me at all.

It's the start to have you move on.
Next they'll ask you to move to the basement.

Before, I had problems when I try to execute my SSIS package to SQL Job.
I've tried using different approach. I used batch file (executed in SQL Job) to connect to a remote server, then copy a file (thru psftp). With this, my command line needs to open another file that contains my original psftp command.
This is the example of command-line from my batch file
psftp -i C:\OpenSSH\etc\myPublicKey.ppk myusername@hostname -b D:\getFile.ftp
This is my psftp command
get fileFromServer.sdf D:\fileFromServer.sdf
Example:
getFile.ftp (contains the 'get' command which will the psftp do)
After using batch file (which didn't work, too) I tried putting my psftp command to another filename (from getFile.ftp to getFile1.ftp)
It worked!
Now, I can say that SQL Server 2008 R2 really has some issues when it comes to names.
