I took a week of vacation right after the move to avoid the first week of being in a cube. There are only 6 cubes in my area, and 2 of us had to move from an office to a cube. It’s funny now, but I know it won’t be if I’m still here another year. Hopefully other opportunities will pan out, or I’ll get laid off anyway and get unemployment while I work out my next career move.

Cubes suck.

Thanks for the complement Andrea. Being grateful and being content are two completely different things. Accepting any job under the sun as your lot in life is a sign that someone is doing just enough to get by in life…..not excel. You are in an office job because you choose to be. This post is an expression of how I would feel to be in a cubicle everyday. It was not directed towards ridiculing anyone. You are in an office job because that is what came available to you. Does that make you any better than a prostitute who feels that is their only option?

It’s all about our perspective on what is possible for ourselves. Accepting a job….any job is not my definition of success. It’s more like settling.

Thanks for your comment and I wish you the most success as an artist. Never give up!

Why are you? a starving artist? that’s sad.

That is funny and I am guilty of being part of the masses that is making fun of and completely against working in a cubicle. Not that it is so much the cubicle, it’s just the concept of working a job in an environment where you have to restrict yourself so much for others. It’s great to be considerate and polite, but you must also be allowed to be yourself.

Thanks for the comment. I can completely give props to the inventor of the cubicle. They discovered a need and created a solution. Now they are successful. Leave it up to the masses to create something negative about something positive in nature.

Thanks for the comment!

So originally, moving to a cubicle was considered an upgrade! The person who invented cubicles was disappointed at what a bad name they’ve gotten in recent years.
