For my fellow cube-farmers: |
|
Things that suck about cube life:
1) Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a freakin' box all day long.
2) Not being able to check email attachments without turning around to see who's behind you.
3) Cubile walls don't offer much protection from any kind of gun fire.
4) That nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get a piece of cheese.
5) Lack of roof rafters for the noose.
6) The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.
7) 23 Power cords - 1 outlet.
8) Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.
9) The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs of life than your co-workers.
10) You can't slam the door and walk out when you quit!
I love my job.

2. As far as slamming the door goes. . . |
|
I have found that leaving a brown paper bag of fresh human feces on your boss's desk does the job quite nicely.

A lot of times they will pick up the bag before they realize what's in it.

4. On the up side, you can go crop-dusting |
|
Which is to fart and walk down a row of cubes.

5. Ain't nothin' like being surrounded by Steelcase grey fabric all day long. |
|
Day in, day out; week in, week out; tick, tick, tick, tick.
At least one side of my cube opens to the window next to it, and I have a very cool 15th-floor city view. On the other hand, I'm in earthquake country. :scared:

I'm so jealous... the room in which my cube is located is in the middle of the building (i.e., no windows at all). I face the corner of the wall and the cubicle panel. It just means that I have to have really good wallpaper on the desktop of my computer...

8. Reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon ... |
|
Dilbert is talking to his Mom (I paraphrase from memory).
Mom: Dilbert, what is it like to work in a cubicle. Dilbert: Well, Mom, Close your eyes, and imagine the most wonderful place on earth. Mom: Ok, Got it. Dilbert: Ok, now imagine that you can never go there because you work in a Box!
One of my favorites.
Cheers Drifter
