If you answer yes to over 70% of these questions, you too are part of the collective:
1. I work in a cube less that 5 ft x 5 ft, more than 6 hours a day.
2. I have a picture of the outdoors on my cubicle wall.
3. I am used to, and prefer recycled air.
4. I know the easiest way to put something off is to send it to management for approval.
5. I have a 'panic' button on my computer that closes all non work-related websites.
6. I draw disturbing 'thumb tack pictures' of dismembering my immediate supervisor(s).
7. I read work related postings, and i reply.
8. I have a coffee press at or in my cubicle.
9. I can go to work, set my chair, turn on my computer, open my tools, get my coffee, and commence
work. Blindfolded.
10. I have the same screensaver and wallpaper at home as I do at work.
7/10 and you could win a 'gold' plated thumbtack, and an honorary 'lifer' pen set.
I hate my job.

You cocks get cubicles - I'd love a fucking cubicle - an ickle bit of privacy would be grand! Not having to minimise the fuck out of my email screen would be heaven.
You don't know how lucky you are!

I've been a bot for the corperate machine for 6months now. I've been here long enough to realise that this job is better then most out there that a fresh outta highschool grad can get his hands on, but its also the worst job out there. They say if you make it for a year then your a lifer.........god thats a scary thought.

1) I work in a row of cubacles, so I am in an open area of about 12/9 ft. But only 3/3 of it is mine.
2)Does a wallpaper count?
3)Who needs a natural warm breeze on a blistering hot day with the sweet smell of flowers and marijuana in the air, when I have an always too cold or too warm building where the only smell is the fat guy next to me......mmmm
4)Correction: Approval in triplicate.
5)I dont have a pannic button to shut all my unauthorized web sites, but I do have a pannic to close out of everything, and another pannic button to pull up the sites that I need to have open infront of me
6)THat would be an HR issue
7)Here I am.
8)Bah, dont drink coffee, but I have about 20 pop bottles in my backpack clunkin around.
9)I can go to work, set my chair, turn on my computer, open my tools, get my coffee, Have a smoke and commence work. Blindfolded, in under 15 minutes.
10) FINALLY ONE I DO NOT APPLY TO...
LOL 9/10 I need help
