Life in an Office of cubicles…
Drive to work while applying lipstick because you forgot to put it on at home. Realize that you left your lunch in the fridge. Fidget with radio because morning DJs are wankers and talk too much.
Walk in the door at 8:04am, decide that the today is going to work in your favor and you are leaving on time today! Look around your cubical and decide that you need to do a spring cleaning with it…Take 6 minutes to get your coffee because you are not opening your email before 8:15am! 8:21am, sit down in front of monitor and proceed to login to network. Have to reset password because it expired, try a series of different combos that apparently you thought to use previously, ugh! 8:24am, finally logged in and clicked on outlook to open…loading, loading, loading, sip coffee and think of what you could have for lunch since you left yours at home. Still connecting, now it’s updating folders, ugh……continue to devour your coffee as if you are a ravenous animal gnawing on a piece of raw meat…still updating folders, the I loathe bill gates thought comes to mind. 8:29am, inbox has 18 new emails, quickly glance at senders and subject lines…damn, sipped last bit of coffee out of vacant mug…decide to get up and go get a second cup, it’s now only 8:36am…the day’s surrealism has begun to set in…
(I thought I would do a series of cubical living and related topics because, let’s admit it, it’s life for some of us and it’s amusing to analyze on a social level.) Next up, cubicle living no, no’s! Stay tuned!

heh. some great stuff at mylifeinacube.com, I’ve been reading that one for a little while now. There’s something endearing about the little idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies of office life, in sort of a playful childish way.
I will check that out! I find that you can take life in a cubicle two ways, drab or surreal…I prefer the latter!
