cubicle perks
I overheard someone giving Al Franken's phone number to someone else on the phone (professional appointment type thingie)!

Need you ask? Of course I jotted it down!

Never can tell when I might want to interview our favorite jester!

Anybody else run into unexpected perks from living in a cubicle?

1. Not a damn one
I havent seen the sun allday, I can overhear private conversations, People can over hear me. I have no privacy

RANT: I asked my boss about when I will get an office. She said probably never

I was stuck in a cubicle at one time and I learned that AJ Foyt and several other drivers stayed in Louisville whenever they were racing at Indy. Got their addressess too!

3. I get people's credit card numbers all the time.
Just kidding. But I do overhear good maloprops all the time. Makes it almost enjoyable working in a cube farm. Almost.

5. Bummer - that must be some small cube!
At least when my co-workers fart, they are marginally far enough away so that I am not aromatically overpowered. Unless they have been to the 'castle. (People east of the Mississippi will understand that reference.)

7. No but ...
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 03:33 PM by Drifter
there is a funny Dilbert that describes cubicle life (I paraphrase)

Dilberts Mom: Dilbert tell me what it is like to work in a cubicle
Dilbert: Ok, Imagine a wonderful place
Dilberts Mom: Ok
Dilbert: Now imagine you can't go there because you work in a box

God I love that one

Cheers
Drifter
