I became a cube rat today... Ask me anything!!!!!!!!
I closed my real estate appraisal business where I employed several people and took a staff as an appraiser for Bank of America and they put me into one of those cubical thingys.

My back hurts!!!!

2. I've never worked in such an environment
I always wondered what it was like. Claustrophobic, it would seem.

7. Its like being taken over by the Borg from Star Trek,
Suddenly I have no autonomy, I am just part of a cluster of other cubes, all squared and equally appointed.

3. Welcome to cube ratdom.
I'm a cube rat too! My last job disappeared, along with the entire company (thanks, Bush), so I'm a temporary cube rat for a company that just sent most of its supervisors to India to train our new replacements (thanks again, Bush). I can't wait until we get our new ELECTED President! :)

4. Do you have a little mirror?
If your seat faces away from the entrance, it's handy to make sure you're not snuck up on.
