So...
My day consisted of me listening to 6 women complain about their husbands' illnesses. They're all in their 60s so they range from back problems to inability to digest food.
I've heard it all.
Bowel movements, ear wax buildup, enlarged prostrates- the freakin' works people!
This got me day dreaming about the job I had previous to this one.
Where I worked in a cubicle with movable walls.
And I sighed.
Then there was this one time the office skanks were talking about their "dates" and I moved one of my walls so I could be completely enclosed in awesome privacy.
I remembered all this and cried.
Well, not really cried but my upper lip did the sad droopy thing. Okay maybe there was ONE tear.
:'o{
To all you people who hate cubicles I say:
Stop yer bitchin'!!!
The end.
I am the FIRST to admit, I love my cubicle. Only that the walls are toooo low and people feel compeled to stand on their tip toes to look over and talk to me.
ReplyDeleteI really am anti-social usually and when I ignore and tune them out they think I'm deaf and talk louder.
Oh and I'm also the first to post!
ReplyDeleteHEY! I SEE YOU NOW HAVE AN IDENTITY AND THE "M" HAS COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS!
ReplyDelete:o)
Yeah, I miss my cube.
You should get a "Do Not Disturb sign" and hang it round your neck...
ReplyDeleteDear Bee-
ReplyDeleteI like Brians idea. You could go all bling-y and get a big gold necklace with the Do Not Disturb in gold with losts of huge diamonds! Ooh, that would be so awesome! I'm sure it will only set you back a half a mil but you got it right?
Love
Tracy
I really liked my cubicle job too. It was my own little sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteYou should bedazzle “Do no not disturb” on a florescent colored T-shirt then you would be speaking their language.
ReplyDeleteOne of the ladies from work here has a sign that says "Winning $5" when people start she points at it. It’s kinda funny.
ReplyDeleteI wish our walls where higher but they are not :(
I have however now mastered the art of looking completely involved in what I’m doing. I have this F*** Off look that I should trademark! Then of course there’s my iPod Headphones, I always have them on. Even if there’s no music playing I have them on this way they KNOW I’m not listening.
i cried because i had no office. then i met a man who had no cubicle.
ReplyDeletea lot of things go on in cubicles, or so I hear....shudders
ReplyDeleteWhat kinds of things Jean Knee? I've never had a cubicle job so I must know!
ReplyDeletefirst they make you soak yer hands in Palmolive...ewww then they take this orange stick thing and push yer cuticles back under the nail bed, then they add polish and you pay them $30.00 bucks.
ReplyDeleteawful
I used to have a job where I had a tiny little office. With a door. And a wall of windows that looked out into a wooded area. I got paid crap, but hello! A door.
ReplyDeleteBehind which I would sometimes say screw it to the work and play solitare on the computer.
Now my office is the bathroom. Thank god for a laptop.
Oh my, that is terrible! And you have to pay them to work there? Scandolous!
ReplyDeleteBrian:
ReplyDeleteHow big does the sign have to be?
Tracy:
Maybe I can but an ad out for donations. How much should I put you down for?
Momo Fali:
Exactly! It's a sanctuary!
Marie:
Ha Ha Ha! No need to become unfashionable to prove a point! ;o)
Nancy:
"Whining"? I like it!
I try but our desks are soo close to each other, it's impossible. I have to tell them to be quiet when I'm on the phone.
Leigh:
Well, at least you're happy now. :o)
jean knee:
I've seen people cut their toenails in one...
FADKOG:
I used to have a nice office too. A long time ago. My view was that of O'Hare with the airplanes coming and going. The sunsets were awesome! Oh well.
Careful when you balance it on your lap...
