I refer, to those who dwell in cubicleland, to those double cubes you have to share with another person. My cubemate is unhygenic, 350+ lbs, and eats, burps, farts, and jiggles all day.

who feels my pain???

I feel you man..
Not only was my old cube mate obese, it was more like the whole team was..
Theyd come over to my desk and id have to hold my breath..They STUNK. A morbid odor..

Now its even worse, im sitting next to a woman whos breath smells like peanuts, sunflower seeds, and coffee mixed with the fact that it looks like she doesnt brush. ITS DIS-GUS-TING. I hate bad hygeine.

I gots me an office. It's really just a different cage.

On the upside, I only breathe in my own farts.

oh I get the asscrack.

I also have the lovely benefit of the t-shirts (which he should not be wearing to work anyway) being just a little too short

haha - i feel bad for you guys. I dont have a cubical but I work in a rather large room split in half by dividers on our side is just myself and Matt who works on making maps with me. On the other side is "the girls" side who make copies and file stuff. It used to be fun because matt and I always shoot rubber bands and play with the girls on the other side.

Recently though - some old lady was put out on their side named Marilyn and is made some psudo-office manager. She's 65 years old and must walk around with a Cross stuffed up her ass because all she does it bitch and talk about god. She isnt any fun and is the kind of person thats "SO NICE" it makes you sick. I walk out the door for lunch and she stops me just to tell me "you have a good lunch, and be safe and we cant wait for you to get back you are so valuable to us" WTF!

I'm above this lady even though I'm only 24, ive been here longer and know more so she can't tell me what to do. This morning she stopped me to tell me some bullshit about how "we arent going to be shooting rubber bands anymore" (she was referring to just me) and how "the girls" arent goinig to be bothering me anymore. ---Hold up--- dumb church bitch - I like it when the girls bother me and talk to me :) makes the day go by faster.

So now I pretty much make it a point to shoot as many rubber bands and say the most blasphemous things possible to piss her off, mainly because she's no fun, stupid, slow, computer illiterate, and spouts off about jesus all the time.

just tell your boss her religious talk makes it a hostile work environment for you and she'll get canned. The key word is hostile :) title VII can be used to take advantages.

problem is we are all contract labor, so normal rules of hiring an firing and stuff dont apply to any of us. I know what you are getting at though - she wants everyone to be professional and stuff however she wants to spout off about jesus.

Too bad she talks about jesus, i shoot rubber bands. It's fair... even though i tune her completely out - she needs to learn to do the same thing.

I have a big, single, corner cube with the biggest whiteboard in the office. I'm freakin P-I-M-P! I put in recessed lighting and even rigged up a calendar Mr. Burns style to block out some of the overpowering fluorescent lights.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

hahahaha....my job is to put you into cubeville.

What has always amazed me is how well people keep tabs on the size of everyone's work station. I did a job for the phone compnay here (Telus) where I planned out 176 work stations on the floor. On one work station there was some room left over after planning out the 7' x7' stations so I extended this station to fill the gap (12') After it was installed people complained that one person got a bigger station.

I have a quadracube. It looks like so:

DDD...DDD
D S......S D
D S......S D
DDD...DDD

where D is desk and S is seat and the dots are floor space. My quadacube mates are a buddy from university, a angry black man, and a complacent but bitter old man. Makes for a good time.

Same here. I have a cube alone, but am in a cube farm and have a neighboring cube across the aisle.

Yes yes, I feel your pain. Your cube mate sounds a lot like my former neighbor.

I dont share a cube but my cube walls go to about eye level and I have to sit next to a woman who is about 300+lbs and she eats doritos religiously. Man do I hate the noise, site and smell doritos make when people eat them... :mad:

At my current work I don't share my pubicle. But at the previous job I had we basically had a room filled with consultants. The room was probably 15x25 with about 16 of us in it. It'd get real loud at times fo sho.
