My last job put editors (of which I was one) in cubes next to sales and marketing. HELLO?????
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's basically what that was. Except I was all alone!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a job where 3 sides of the cube were open
That's not a cube. That's a wall.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the kind of cube you get in hell.
And you're surrounded by telemarketers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I suspect she's trying to make me feel good about myself, and that always puts me on edge.
Yeah, I got that feeling. I don't think it was the intent.

I have a single cube wall. I sit parallel with the door (as in, I look over my right shoulder and I'm looking into the hall.) I hate people being able to see me walking by (distracts me,) hence the wall. I get accused of hiding, but whatever. If I really wanted to hide, I'd go freeze in the operations room which is card-access only.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ours are custom-which apparently we get to further customize, and then we have soji screens to function as doors. We're all usually up wandering around anyway, so desk/office/cube is less of a thing.
Oh, my other favorite thing! We have giant whiteboards everywhere for sketching out ideas or illustrating how something works, but on most of them, there is a side or corner for silly stuff. Ours had sort of a COMM on it, stuff like: "Can you not pull it out of my thing, (coworker)-" other coworker. One has silly band names.

Well, two sides were just a little higher than the desk, and the third was higher with the storage unit and whatever.
