    David Letterman's Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle...

    10. Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a freakin' box
    all day long.

    9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to
    see who's behind you.

    8. Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gun
    fire.

    7. That nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get a piece of cheese.

    6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose.

    5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.

    4. 23 power cords - 1 outlet.

    3. Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.

    2. 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

    1.You can't walk out and slam the door when you quit
    Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

      wow, they buy carpets from the same place as my work

        Oh for a cubilcle - there are 5 of us in a room about 20' long - aaargghh. But work keeps buying whatever I ask for which is nice.

        We had the cubicle conversation the other day but our room would probably fit only 2 and no corridor. Oh and we have orange wallpaper - yuk... ill photo graph it sometime ...
        hmmmmm

          Bah, cubicles, luxury I tells ya.
          Japan doesn't do the cubicle thing. At work as I am one of the Programmers, My desk has walls, but I wouldn't call it a cubicle (maybe a half Asok style cubicle)

              I share a room with about 150 others..... But it's a big room alright.

              For normal work, I'd hate both cubicles and open plan (or, "Office Gardens" as we call them over here). Nothing like a small room with max of 5 ppl and needing to go out over the hallway (where you bump into all sorts of interesting people) to the next room if you need someone there.

                Hee-hee! Poor buggers. My office is all to myself: it doesn't matter how much mess I make. I have roof beams for the noose. I have space for my bookshelves and two long tables for my 4 computers and TV, with four large cupboards, full to overflowing. I have a wonderful view of beautiful pine-covered mountains and down a valley and can even catch a glimpse of the sea on the occasional clear day.

                What more can a guy want?
