Cubicle Hell

Kimdbro · April 2014

Sitting in one right now, but my department is far from everyone and was built with expansion in mind so I'm in my own corner with a window and the nearest cubicles are empty.... which makes it better for the days when I have broccolli for lunch

I don't technically have a cubicle. But I work completely alone in a room that is temp. controlled because of the artifacts (I work at a museum). So I'm cold all the time. And there are no windows anywhere. And no people. No people sounds nice until you've lived it for 5 years.. Also, no food and no drinks allowed at my desk, not even water.

god help me.

So many horror movies going through my mind right now...........lol

No cubicle for me. I am on the move from the moment I get to work until the moment I leave. I never sit down.

That is what I am working towards. Elementary School Teacher always on the go.

I work in cubicle but they are pretty spacious for what a cubicle is supposed to be. But I do have a HORRIBLE

My organization just redid all the cubicle spaces. We now have half wall cubes they like to call "open team enviornment"....where you sit and face your coworker ..who won't shut up and thinks he knows it all....about to build my own wall BACK!!

this is what we have as well and I hate hate hate it.

They moved my old team to that. I got a promotion last year and got a cubicle back. Open environment is *so* much worse! (Nosy effers)

I work in cubicle but they are pretty spacious for what a cubicle is supposed to be. But I do have a HORRIBLE coworker that works next to me and I just want to choke her every single day. Specially when her 400-pound self is clipping nails *gag*

Agreed. There are two kinds of fish acceptable to eat in the workplace: Pepperidge Farms Goldfish and Swedish Fish.

I sit in an office across from the breakroom, I'm so going to make this a sign and hang it up!

Today I played on MFP, finished my budget for what bills I need to pay, paid two bills, wrote my grocery list, and did some Sodoku.

I do, farms and farms of cubibles, sucking the life out of everyone who works in them.

Yep :noway:

I work in a cubicle, but I like it because I work with an awesome bunch of people who make my work fun. Also, I'm a copy editor at a newspaper, so I get to be nosy for a living and I know all the stuff that's going on before my friends. Also, nobody cares that I keep dumbbells in my cubicle and randomly do squats while waiting for the microwave.

My own personal cubicle hell, complete with the endless buzzing from the flickering fluorescent lights, layers of dust that fall every night from our out-dated air system, and a fantastic location right by the elevators where people like to congregate and chit chat loudly. Oh and endless overheard conversations about child birth and other stuff I'd rather not think about. Thank goodness for spotify.

Love my job though- just taking a quick minute to whine a bit, haha.

Sounds a lot like the office I'm in. Three of us in office with our own little cubicles. Which, most days, isn't bad, However, the office is right next to the elevators, the vending machines, and just a few doors down from the cafeteria. So the noise is always there when the cafeteria is open because apparently people walking from the elevator to the cafeteria forget they are still inside an office building with people trying to work.

And I once had to go to the vending machine area to tell the lady on her cell phone that she was speaking directly under a vent that made her conversation clearly audible in our office. At least she had the grace to blush (the stuff she was talking about was very personal) and run off.

Me! Me! 3 days a week anyway. The other 2 I get to work from home.

Do what some of my co-workers do. Decorate your cubicle to the max. Some have a lot of family photos or plants. One woman has the best decoration. She has a pink and zebra print theme complete with a mini chandelier over her cubicle. I don't know how she got that put in, but her cube is in a private room and only two other people are in there with her plus her boss likes her. I should take a picture of it and PM it to you. :laugh:

As for the noise, are you allowed to listen to music while you work? I don't. Others here wear headphones while they're at their computers.
