The English Zone at my school is a converted science room, so my office is what used to be the prep/storage room at the back. It still has �غ�� written on the door, which is the way I like it because it makes it harder for people to find me.
Nice view, TV, DVD player, internet, central heating and air-con, but by far the best thing about it is that I have it to myself. I don't have to look busy for anyone, so the public school too-much-downtime factor just isn't an issue for me.

That the other teachers and students are always bringing me stuff. That if I don't like the atmosphere in the one staff room I can go to my desk at the other.

Good Internet, a sink (but no restroom...)

Handphone and FM reception is TERRIBLE! And the kindy students are always playing semi-supervised and screaming outside my window.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, the best thing by far - no little kids running around screaming, playing, and crying. Just the odd teenage girl whining her head off to her homeroom teacher about some stupid, inane little thing.

The wind chimes in the hallway outside my office that chime whenever someone is within 10 meters of my door - heads up.

Did you put them up or did they come with the office?

The sunshine that seeps through a corner of a window at around 4.30pm.
The modelling agency that was supposed to open next week upstairs but has now moved to another premises.
The insistence of the Koreans that I eat every lunch time with them at exactly 12.30pm no matter what I am doing.
oh wait..you said BEST things....there are no kids running in the halls.

We've got bidets on the toilets (say what you will, but my arse is clean enough to eat off of) and a conference room with a nice 50" flat screen with all the associated hook-ups (DVD, Sky, connected laptop). The room doubles as our place to relax when no one else needs it.

View out the window of the baseball field across the street. I can take a break and catch the game when one is on. But even just watching practice is fun.
