    I have this one guy who's on the brink. he's in his 50's, Filipino, thinks everyone hates him because he's Filipino, when in reality everyone hates him because he's an asshole that screams at you when you look at him the wrong way. He once told me, back when we were on good terms, that he pulled a gun on his neighbor for trimming his tree on his side of the fence.

    fucking wacko.

    If I wasn't able to wear headphones at my desk, I would probably lose my shit. People are so fucking loud and rude around here. I don't give a shit about your personal problems or your kid's soccer team!!!

    I wish I had an office. Unfortunately I'm stuck in a cube surrounded by people, including my manager. They aren't big on offices around here....only directors and above.

    i'd guess we are 40% office. but almost all have window's. :x

    when the day comes to get a new gig...if i have any bargining power, the request will be a nice salary first, followed closely by seating arragement....and then vacation time.

    True. My old job look liked that one. My new job is one in which you can actually walk into it. Still: No door.

    ^^^ no, those cubes with the half walls (where everybody can see you) are shitty cubes.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Warning, people will walk in your cube when they have to talk to the person on the other side of the wall instead of walking around, and they will always assume you are listening/paying attention to everything around you.

    Stock up on rubber band guns and other throwable things...



    I got less work done. A LOT less... :(
