Which dark age torture should the inventor of the cubicle be forced to submit too?

Kind of like a honeycomb. I guess we're worker bees. But i like the shape a lot.

Worker bees can leave.
Even drones can fly away.
The queen is their slave.

Delightfully philosophical :^)

How long before that mind game quits working, and you hate life again? :^D

Well I'd rather be in my cube getting paid lots of moneys than sitting at home. I brought in a christmas tree and have cans of ol glory laying around. People think they are beer lol

Seriously I really don't mind being in a cube.

Only a republican could think being fat, happy, and the center of attention while constantly procreating is slavery (don't actually know if your republican just seemed to fit the joke).

I HATE cubicle farms. Above a certain level, it is terrible.

But I actually like cubicle furniture better than regular office furniture. It's more modular, puts shelving up above you, you can hang things on the walls with thumb tacks...Actually I do have a rather large office with a door. I put a cubicle in it. I just like it better.

Little is known about Alexander Cubicle, the inventor of the eponymously named workspace. Those few who knew him personally described him as "strange" and "constantly smelling of a strange admixture of copier toner and whiteout."

Like many young Americans in the 1800's, he followed Horace Greely's famous advice, "Go West, young man," but, frightened and disoriented by the wide open spaces of the prairie, he soon scurried back to Cleveland, which was then, ironically, a lovely and bucolic summer resort town for the residents of Frog's Neck, NY.

This western trek was a seminal experience in young Alexander's life. He forever after hated both deer and antelope with an equal fury.

Several prominent literary scholars contend that Mr. Cubicle's leased office space creation inspired both Robert Frost's "Good fences make good neighbors" and Johnny Paycheck's "Take this job and shove it."

We who owe this man so little may never know for sure, but this one fact is clear, Alexander Cubicle had an extremely diminutive pee-pee.

Nice rant, but I think OP is really upset is the cubicle's preventing him from contact with female co-workers therefore making flirting almost impossible.

No cube for me! Decent sized office in the job trailer. I get to share it with our jobsite router which whines all day. Don't even hear it now.

 

[Exterous]

Triangle?

Clearly it's a rhombus

My cube isn't too bad - it's a double wide.

Rumor has it that we will be purchasing an off site office and moving people to it because we are out growing the available space in our current office. I may be able to swing an office then but I am not holding my breath

I've never worked in a cubicle, but are they really that bad? It seems better than the antecedent where everybody lined up in one huge open room.

True, in one of my previous jobs, we had full height cubicles, then they converted it to half height, and it sucked. You are basically staring at your co-workers all day, you hear everything they say, hear/see/smell them eating at their desk, etc...

2 people actually quit the job after they did this (out of ~500 people). I hated it and was happy to get an office at my next job.

 

[zCypher]

Really depends on how they are set up and who you are working with. I've worked in some cubicle environments that I absolutely hated, but the current setup is not bad and I really like most of the people I'm working with.

 

[alkemyst]

my cube is 10x20...I can't complain.

Utility closet would kind of own actually. I could shut the door, maybe actually get some work done. It'd be like an office only small. Not to mention the work day would go by fast when you're high on cleaning solvents.

Not to mention, you could have the cute secretary come visit, and enjoy a moment of distraction (hopefully, a long moment!!). :awe:

So far as the OP's question is concerned, which none of you have really addressed, the only possible choice would be the Iron Maiden. Small, cramped, and extremely uncomfortable, much like a cubicle. :hmm:
