  Playing with Lego at Lunch
 
At the cafeteria of our company, there is a bowl of Lego bricks on top of each tables. Nothing fancy, just bricks. (Looks like they just bought a couple of the brick tubs.) At the beginning it was quite frustrating for me sometimes. I almost wanted (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.general) !

...and to think I have to lock my office door and wedge a chair under the handle before I can get my Lego out at work. It is a hard life. Scott A (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
 
  How to play with Lego at work without making too much noise?
 
(...) Wow, you get an office! I only have a cube. I am still trying to figure out how to play with Lego without producing too much noise. Anybody has good ideas? Thanks, Hao-yang Wang (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

In general, I only build the Technic kits, but the usual clinking sound becomes pretty obvious, especially when you're looking for like a 1x2 grey plate in a sea of grey bushings and connector pins. First of all, minimize the need to sort. Lego (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.general) !!

You could try getting some LEGO Soft, altohough there'd be a bit of a space problem, or mix in some rubber tires inside, to stop some of the clinking. Alan (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) There are, I think, many of us using this method. My office generally has various small models hidden behind files on the shelves up high. I try to keep things small, but every now and then a project from home that I can't bear to leave (...) (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Playing with Lego at Lunch
 
I wish I could bring my LEGO to work, but I sit in a cubicle in a high-traffic area. :^( In any case, I get a bit vigorous with the digging through bins, so it's best to leave things at home. Sometimes if I have an idea at work, I'll sketch it on a (...) (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

Yeah, I share a cube with 2 other guys, so building is a bit of a challenge. I've done some pretty complex stuff at some of my other jobs, though. Besides, my current kick of cathedral building (5 grey 48x48 baseplates, and counting) tends to limit (...) (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
 
  Bird in Lego Soft
 
(...) Actually I do have some of the Lego Soft bricks. I bought the smallest of the three Lego Soft sets from an excellent source for the Dacta sets, Glen Tannenbaum. The soft bricks are intended for my son. However, when they arrived, my son was (...) (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dacta)
