Life in a cubicle

Ms.Tarantula · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 11, 06

Feel free to add to the list.

1. Being told to "Think Outside the Box" when I'm in a box all day!

2. Not being able to check E-mail attachments without first seeing who is behind me.

3. Fabric cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gun fire.

4. That nagging feeling that if I just press the right button, I will get a piece of cheese.

5. Lack of roof rafters for the noose.

6. My walls are too close together for my hammock to work right.

7. Women: Darned near impossible to adjust your bra or slip without comment.

8. Men: Co-workers tend to stare when you take your pants off.

9. 23 power cords, 1 outlet.

10. Prison cells are not only bigger, they have beds.

11. Can't slam the door when you quit and walk out.

12. There's always a supervisor looking at you when theres nothing to do, but when you need one, they are on a lunch break!

Ive never worked in a cubical, but Im wondering if people steal your pens? I hate that. More so than finishing a glass of water, milk, or juice only to find that the bottom of the glass is dirty. And i really hate it when that happens.

14. You always get a call JUST when your about to go to the bathroom!

Being surrounded by walls so you can't see but can still hear EVERYTHING going on in the office. Including the guy next to you constantly grossing you out by blowing his nose, caughing, eck! gross

My office (at home) I have to listen to bag pipes, salsa and latin music, lame alternative superstar impersonators at the beach for festivals; don't get me started on the sun runs and crap; and a kitten constantly walking on my keyboard! It doesn't even matter that I have walls when it comes to the music; it is so freaking loud!
