 A Different Point of View

 Opportunities are often missed, because they arrive wearing overalls and look like work.

Aliens have landed!

by The English Blogger

Tags: Free Range Humans, Aliens, Chickens, Cubicle, Cubicle Farm, Aliens have landed!

Of course, aliens have not landed, but if they did, and went a-wandering, eventually they would come across a cubicle farm. They could be forgiven for thinking that humans are just another crop to be grown. Is there really much difference between a cubicle farm and say, a chicken farm? Proportionately, I don’t think the chickens have quite as much space as humans, but it’s got to be close.

Everyone knows that chickens grown in this fashion taste like shit. Just buy a typical chicken at your local grocery store and then buy a free range one from somewhere. Taste the difference?

Makes you think doesn’t it? Why on earth bosses think they can get the best out of their workers by putting them in little boxes is beyond me. OK, it’s cheaper, but as my mum always told me, “if it’s free it’s not worth anything.”

This weeks competition:

I want to be a free-range human because.........

The winner of last week's competition:

"I would like a napping cot in my cubicle, but my boss is such a complete bastard, I am not allowed, so I have to make do with a stack of styrofoam coffee cups to use as a pillow."

Another win for Cellophanegirl !

Welcome aboard sick of it.

Too true!

I want to be a free-range human because there isn't enough room down here in the port-a-potty!

I want to be a free-range human because I'd probably be my own boss, make my own hours and as a result I'd have a scheduled 2-hour naptime every midday!!! ^_^

I want to be a free-range human because I’m tired of having my desk in the room with the printer, fax, copier, refrigerator, and microwave, with one thin wall shared with the bathroom wall so I don’t have to see, hear, or smell other humans eating and excreting, not to mention anytime I’m on the phone with a client my boss needs to use the copier to copy 500 page reports.

Cookie: I've always wondered about your handle!! Makes perfect sense now.

I would try to compete on this one but I can't come up with anything better than "sick of it" wrote. I concede!

I want to be a free range human so I can take a long stride without knocking my knees against partitions, walls equipment, boxes, other people.....

Avid - I think I posted a comment about my handle on another post. I attempted to make another income out of making organic dog "cookies" homemade dog soaps, and crocheted (hooked) dish/face/wash cloths.

Isn't stress the mother if invention?

Cookie Hooker: Have you tried selling you dog products in a dog store/bakery? We have several in the Chicagoland area that are doing well. Dog parks are all around and truly everyone in Chicago owns a dog. Maybe you could do well geographically here but not where you are (wherever that is).???Just an idea.
