Cubicle hell.
Well I woke up this morning and I got outta bedSkaredShtles said:
I looked at my schedule and it filled me with dread
Cuz I gotta go to work today but all I wanna do is snooze
I got me the Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Blues
The lights are all flicker flourescent
The seats are all sticky stuff
The desks were all built by Frank Lloyd Wrong
Man I've had more than enough!
They turn on the heater just in time for May
But they can't get the AC up til Halloween day
Oh I'm dreading my workplace and those funny blue fumes
I got me the Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Blues
We finally got some computers
A 486 is my fate
The copy machine's always busy
with a one page per hour rate
The coffee is decaf and it always tastes like glue
The tea that's in the pantry is Lord Silver Grey's Old Shoe
We're all out of White Out cuz the manager has no clues
I got me the Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Blues
I'm supposed to make up the flyers
All glossy and color fresh
But this dot matrix printer's
Always being laid out to rest
Our address isn't listed, our phone line never works
Our building is falling apart, the landlord just says it's "quirks"
The Better Business Bureau just refunded us our dues
I got me the Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Blues
We lost us our network guru
He'd decorated his cube
But the Cubicle Cops came and took him away
And their Uzis were really rude!
We're overseen by fascists
The bathrooms haven't been cleaned
The lights are driving me wild
My boss is a damn machine
There's asbestos in the ceiling
And cracks in the windowpane
I need to find me my muse -
cuz I got Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Cubical Hell Cubicle Hell Blues
I spend half my time in cube hell the other half in dimly lit, loud dirty factories manned by hunched over hairy knuckled human-ape hybrids.
No Job!
It's only taken me about 10.stinkyboy said:
ADHD. I'm always doing 12 things at once. I have 5 xterm windows open, a text editor, email, ridemonkey, mathematica, chime, task manager, three folders, and itunes all running at the same time. At least I'm not bored.
I work in a laboratory...there are lots of "incubations" during experiments so you get little 5-30 minute breaks when you can't do much. I have also become adept at stinkyboy's method...if you are twice as efficient as everyone else, you can work half the time and be ok.

Agreed...flexibility in hours is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I regularly roll in way early so i can ride afternoons.

Yeah. My last job was the cush one. Admin with private office about 15x15............ I wonder why they ran out of money.stinkyboy said:But you're a cubicle loser. I like to refer to it as "my puppet show" when I wing some paper clips into the cubes and watch the heads start popping up.
Hostile...
I tend to multitask. I've also gotten good enought at my job that I can get more done than my co-workers in 2 hours than they do all day.
Gubament. Things are either frantic or dead, no in-between pace.
it's all about perfecting the technique of closing one window in a millisecond and promptly opening another one
It looks remarkably like my house...
I work for the state wildlife agency & go to school, so when I'm not in the field collecting "stuff" I'm usually sitting in front of a computer. RM has become an evil addiction as of late, I'm trying to ween myself off the site a little bit! (obviously, I haven't been very successful)

Hippy.
I'm either out braving floods and blizzards makin' teh science or sitting in my office working on spreadsheets to crunch and interpret said science.
small satellite office trailer in a cable manufacturing plant about 30% of the time the other 95% I'm running tests, setting up pressure vessels, blowing cable up or melting it with "100% Poisonous" chemicals
My job rawks!

I've got a corner cubicle that is larger than most offices in the building. It's a u-shaped desk with two guest chairs. I keep my monitor turned away from traffic so no one can see what I'm doing.
Uh...30% plus 95% is too many %'s.Cooter Brown said:

I rock a real office with real windows and a real door. As long as my work gets done everything is cool. I do pretty much the same as Westy and Stinkyboy.
Yesterday at lunch I went out, had a nice 10oz steak
five pints and still got a "hey! great job! thanks!" from my boss for a document that he had asked for at like 11:59am yesterday.

Currently no job - maybe by the end of today there'll be a job...but I work from home, so I probably won't go anywhere....

Nothin' like it. I luv it!stinkyboy said:
I sit in a lab with a half million dollar printer instrumented with 4 PC's, 2 Solaris servers, and 2 laptops. I set up tests on all the computers and then slack on the internet on my laptop while the tests run. w00t.
I spend the day working from an easy chair. Not a bad deal.
