For those who used to be cubicle hermits what are you doing now

[Glavinsolo]

Seems everyone wants a job, and work, and a paycheck. But the only ones who are happy are the ones who hire you to do these cubicle jobs. Some of you on this forum emerged out of your cubicles to do other profitable things. Can you briefly describe what life was like in your cubicle and what it is like out and how did you make the transition? Life was not meant to be lived in a cube when you are a well rounded person.

Life in a cubicle : see Office Space.

Life now: I'm self employed. I go into my clients' offices every now and then but I work most of the time from home. I set my own hours, I wear whatever I like, I listen to whatever I like as loud as I like, I eat when I'm hungry, I take breaks when needed, I do errands during business hours if I need to, my commute is easily walkable 😉 , etc.

On the flipside: my work is never separated from me, I often work past midnight, I have less social interaction.

What kind of business?

I love cubicle life at the momemt. Im 23. I do some tax work here, file a return there, play on ATOT, go out to eat, and play with my koosh ball.

No more cubicle.. now it's just pajamas at my home office, doing the same thing. Can't say it's a lot better.

I'm in a cubicle and 25. It's my first job out of college and the pay is pretty decent. I probably do actual work about 20% of the day and the rest of the time I'm just chilling here on ATOT waiting for a call or email from a co-worker who has a user error. That about sums it up.

I'm self-employed, but I sometimes work in a cubicle as that's what my client has to offer.

I am in Programming Hell. No cubicle.

Basically all my customers are just a bunch of crybabies who have no clue what they want or how to communicate their needs. This new database system is about 100 times bigger than the mainframe system and pure hell.

I spent 5 yrs in a cubicle. Now, I work aa a bank branch manager with my own desk. Honestly, if I could find a cubicle environment where not everyone is so negative I would go back to cubicle life.

 

[Eeezee]

I spent about 10 months in what could be considered worse than a cubicle. Three (sometimes four) guys crammed into an office the size of a cubicle and a half. I'd often go hang out in the junk room just to get some space. The junk room was where we had some test boxes laying around if there were components that needed testing. There were cables of all sort sitting in boxes strewn throughout the room, but there was plenty of floor space and a comfy chair, so neffing in there was a lot nicer than neffing in the cramped office.

Before I dealt with a**holes (Quality Mgr), now I clean them (RN). :laugh:

I'm happy I escaped corporate hell.
