Offices2Share.com selected the above video of Bob Glickman’s home office as the grand prize winner of their Home Office From Hell Contest.

Bob Glickman’s Home Office From Hell winning entry:

1. Difficulty convincing conference call participants that crying baby sound in background is cool new cell phone ring tone.
2. Neighbors starting to whisper about, "How can they afford that house without ever going to work?"
3. Dreadfully small office means putting one’s feet up on desk routinely knocks two to three projects onto floor.
4. Fax machine that wakes everyone at 3:47 AM only to deliver unsolicited Stock Tip of the Month Junk Fax.
5. 87-Pound Weimaraner who has learned that even a securely-closed office door can indeed be opened by slamming one’s head into it with enough force.
6. Neighbors getting suspicious about number of overnight packages being delivered by UPS.
7. Neighbors getting suspicious about how much new baby looks like UPS Guy.
8. Office Holiday Party rather depressing, consisting of walking to kitchen, pouring cup of eggnog, walking back to office.
9. Extreme difficulty keeping straight face when answering cordless phone with official company greeting when in backyard scooping dog poop.
10. Company Bio begs to tout, "It all started in a spare bedroom"...but can’t, as long as its still in that spare bedroom.
