By Ferdinand MekinsyApplied to a regular work cubicle, feng shui design could positively influence your life: there may be a better salary, a healthier body and a more rewarding personal life. Such accomplishments may seem too good to be true but they are the sheer and real consequence of the ancient art of energy - drawing space arrangement. The work surfaces are just as important as windows, ent
Ughh. I can't keep my eyelids up! Been fantasizing about resting on the bed all day long. To be perfectly honest, I would like to quit my job after giving birth to look after my baby and pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. I mean, I like my job and I'm so blessed for having an uber nice boss, but I would like to able to have a more flexible schedule to watch my child grow.But come to thi

Depending on your definition of the word prank, this could be one of the greatest cubicle pranks ever pulled. Although to be honest, I wouldn’t mind being the victim of this one.
How To Win A Cubicle War
We’re lucky enough at my company to be able to use “flexible time” to take a half day on Fridays during the summer. So that was the plan this past Friday… to leave at 2:00, but I ended staying until 6:00. Once it got to be 4:30, I just really didn’t want to deal with [...]
Panic is like the perfect boss key for Firefox. It will not just prevent you from getting into an embarrassing situation but boss may even leave your office cubicle totally impressed.

weird factsGRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The oft-derided "cubicle" is turning 40 years old this month.The open-office style was originally known as the "Action Office," and was introduced by West Michigan's Herman Miller Company in 1968. Bill Crooks was one of the first people in America to work in a cubicle. He started in Herman Miller's customer service department in 1967, shortly before the Action Off

The Airbus A380 could soon have the option of being fitted out with male urinals. On long haul 747 flights there is always a long queue down the aisle at breakfast time, so this is a good idea for A380's that will eventually be carrying over 600 passengers. With the space they save by using urinals they can then the water savings for showers.Male Urinal for A380. Photo from DASELL Cabin Interior
Last week a young person asked me a question: When you work in a cubicle that only has a waist-high divider, when is it appropriate to respond to something you’ve overheard? It’s a very interesting question and the answer probably has several components. When I started out as a journalist at college in the late 60s and then on a weekly Philadelphia newspaper in the early 70s, all our desks were crammed together. I would never have thought twice about saying something in response to what I heard the reporter at the next desk say to someone else. Nowadays there are these dividers between desks. Does it matter if the divider is waist-high or taller? Does it matter what kind of business is being conducted? Does it matter whether the other person is having a personal conve

Big congrats and $500 in Amazon bucks go to Mark, whose oh-so-cool cubicle pulled away with a commanding lead.

I had this video forwarded to me from one of my co-workers. This has to be the best, most well thought out cubicle prank ever. It is certainly much better than opening all the doors and trunks on my Transformers when I’m out of the office.

My employer announced today that they are freezing raises. Apparently, there’s some little problem with the economy that’s causing our top clients to slash budgets and lay off their employees, and now our company’s outlook is uncertain.
Worse, a few weeks ago, my husband’s employer announced they are freezing raises. Oh, and they’re also doing away [...]
Los franceses Rinocerose (me faltan varios acentos dentro de la palabra) se dedican desde hace una década a mezclar la música rock con el techno, compaginándolo con sus empleos de psicólogos. Componen en inglés, francés y alemán.Su mayor éxito procede del album del año 2005 Schizophonia que incluye Cubicle, tema muy conocido por ser la sintonía de los anuncios del ipod.Pues ahí va, Rinocerose.
I know there are some of you brothas out there have had the itch to hoop while handling that 9-5, and I know its frustrating. While this “USB Basketball game” isn’t a perfect solution it will appease your desire to pull down your pants (n/h), expose your always rocked basketball shorts, and do a 360 fall away shouting “Kobe!” with an imaginary basketball.
This mini desktop replica game of those B-Ball arcades seen in places such as D&B’s will track your score on the LED scoreboard (powered by your computer’s USB port). To keep the game running and gunning, it includes four mini-basketballs for you to master your J with. Cop it from Perpetual Kid for roughly $25…

I often wonder what my life would be like if I worked in an office... I am a stay-at-home-mom but I actually don't think my life would be all that different. I mean I do have deadlines, demanding bosses, all vacation time must be approved months in advance, and despite many, many promises I have yet to receive a raise. Oh yeah, and the benefits package is complete pooh- pun intended.I am always amazed at the people who can manage to work so hard in an office environment yet find the time to blog, and if it were me... this is what my day would be like:Anyway, I was recently presented with the opportunity to receive books for free (Collins, an Imprint of HaperCollins Publishers), no strings attached except for reviews on the books that I enjoyed reading. Since school started a week ago I decided that since I have only one ankle biter at home, I might have a little extra time on my hands. Besides pondering what I want to be when my kids grow up, I thought I would use this time to catch u
Ten things you can't do anymore when you find yourself back at work after taking seven weeks of leave to recuperate after a hysterectomy:You may have become accustomed to picking your nose whenever you damn well pleased when you spent your days cooped up in an apartment with nobody to watch but two delinquent cats, but that's a habit that must be broken once you are back in your cubicle. In mid-pick, when some excess snot may be stuck to the outside of your nostril, a co-worker may or may not show up to ask you how you are recovering.You can no longer continually stick your finger in your bellybutton a) to try to quel that bizarre post-surgical nerve twinge or b) to make that bizarre post-surgical nerve twinge happen on purpose out of curiosity.You don't have any tampons or maxipads to loan out to your co-workers anymore.Black chin whiskers are no longer kept around for a couple of extra days just because it is fun to run your fingers over them when you are thinking.Clothing is no
"I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it." -Agent Smith (The Matrix)
If you’re a dreamy-eyed, workaday cubicle jockey chained to a desk surrounded by Dilbert cartoons, this one’s for you:
Japanese performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu takes her robot for a crawl in downtown Sydney, Australia. Crowds watch the bizarre sight of the life-like Japanese businessman in suit and tie slowly crawling on all fours along the pavement. The robot is a symbol of the Japan’s rigid Salaryman culture.

Humans weren’t meant for cubicles…they were meant for adventure.
You know who you are, sitting there in your cubicle with one eye on the “to do” pile and the other on Kayak.com. The desk is littered with trinkets from exotic locations and your computer wallpaper is a photo of your favorite beach or monument.
When a co-worker returns from vacation, you’re the first to start the Q&A session. Sound familiar? You may be suffering from Travel Separation Anxiety.
Being chained to a desk is tough when you want to trade the suit for a suitcase. It seems everyone is out traversing the globe while you languish in corporate prison.
But whether it’s financial or personal commitments that keep you grounded, your inner adventurer doesn’t have to become a casualty of the cube. Keep the dream alive by planning your E.S.C.A.P.E.

From Wonkette:
In our democratic world, leaders can come and go in the flash of an eye. A politician can appear to be on top of the world, steamrolling towards the undying admiration and respect of his constituents, and next thing he knows he is out of a job just because of a little racial slur, sexual scandal, or gross unethical behavior (see: Republicans).
With it the business of politics being here today, well-compensated lobbyist tomorrow, there are always the spoils of war to be had after elections. What would you give today to have Walter Mondale's campaign desk phone? How about Teddy Roosevelt's BullMoose monocle? Michael Dukakis's L.A. Lights? Can you even begin to put a price on these souveneirs of the democratic process at work?
How about $2600?
Yes, for this low, low price, you can be the proud owner of this once-in-a-lifetime memento: actual cubicles used during Rick Santorum's unsuccessful run to be re-elected as PA Senator. Think of all the things you could
