Living in a cubicle.

And the winner of last weeks competition is:

"I would have liked to work in a bullpen because nobody can steal your stuff off or out of your desk and not be seen. Plus, if one of your officemates goes postal, it'll be easier to move from desk to desk without having to get up and run for cover, and so you'll be a harder target to shoot at. Just pray your back isn't to the door!"

Thank you HaveaDamnNiceDay. And I wish you a damn nice day. In fact, take the day off, go for a walk in the park, maybe have a few beers in the sun and watch the world go by. If your boss asks what's going on, just send them to me, I'll straigten the whole thing out.

However positive your attitude to life in general and working in a cubicle in particular, it is difficult to get too excited about working in a box. I have been collecting many people’s attempts to brighten up their space, and here are a few good examples. High-tech minimalist versus nature. Whatever floats your particular boat, one of the most important things you can do when working in a cubicle, is make it “your” space. Of course some companies frown upon that, but if all you are allowed is a personal photo frame, for goodness’ sake, take one to work to remind yourself that you are indeed an individual. I still want more photos, so if you have any interesting ones, send them along to www.youcube.us

This weeks competition:

 

"I would like XXXXX in my cubicle, but my boss is such a complete bastard/bitch, I am not allowed, so I have to make do with XXXXXXX."

My effort:

I would like the Los Angeles under-21 women's volleyball team in my cubicle, but I have to make do with my imagination instead.
