Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle…
- Being told to “think outside the box” when you’re in a freakin’ box all day long.
- Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to see who’s behind you.
- Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gun fire.
- That nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you’ll get a piece of cheese.
- Lack of roof rafters for the noose.
- The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.
- 23 power cords – 1 outlet.
- Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.
- The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs of life than your co-workers.
And the number 1 drawback to working in a cubicle …
- You can’t walk out and slam the door when you quit.
And sometimes work will darn near kill you…
Via e-mail from my friend Amy:
MY LIVING WILL…… Last night, my sister and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her,“I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” She got up, unplugged my computer and threw out my wine.
Thanks for the laughter, this certainly planted a smile on my face!
I love this post – thanks for the laughs!
Just sharing – glad you enjoyed them! I’m thinking about making any good jokes I get via e-mail into a recurring “lazy Friday” feature post.
