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.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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 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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's not a cube. That's a wall.
Well, two sides were just a little higher than the desk, and the third was higher with the storage unit and whatever.

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

Cool! We kid about putting up shower curtains.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
While we've been in temp space people have come up with some interesting improvized cubes. I've seen shower curtains, funky colored fabric, screens, bookshelves, pvc pipe with tabbed curtains, even one of those metal foldy tent things decorated with fairy lights.

Sounds like there are smart and valid reasons to go with an ARM, if the circumstances are right.
I was truly shocked by how much money I would have qualified for in a mortgage and that was nearly 8 years ago now. Happily, I lucked into a house where I wanted to live for a price that let me get a mortgage that I could reasonably hope to pay even if I lost my job, at least for a while (as I'm now proving).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, next job? I want interesting seating arrangements. Where in the cover letter does that go?
