Recently, I came across a blog that has little comics about life in a cubicle. It's called My Life in a Cubicle. Simple and straightforward title. Sadly, i can totally relate to all the comics..
My Life in a Cube
Dumb Interview Moves
When was the last time you went on an interview? Did you do something extraordinarily stupid? If you did, don't feel too bad because it's probably better than what these people did...
1. "The person was dancing during the interview. He kept saying things like, 'I love life!' and 'Oh, yeah!'"
2. "One job applicant came in for his interview with a cockatoo on his shoulder."
3. "The candidate sent his sister to interview in his place."
4. "The candidate stopped the interview to ask me if I had a cigarette."
5. "We had one person who walked out of an interview straight into a glass door. The glass shattered."
6. "The candidate got his companies confused and repeatedly mentioned the strengths of a competing firm, thinking that was who he was interviewing with."
7. "A guy called me by the wrong name during the entire interview."
8. "We're a retail company, and when we asked the candidate why she wanted to work for us, she replied that she didn't want to work in retail anymore."
9. "An interviewee took his bubble gum out of his mouth and held it in his hand. Then he forgot about it and shook hands with me."
10. "A job seeker gestured with his hands so much that he then sat on them to stop it."
11. "A candidate fell asleep during the interview."
12. "An applicant was doing really well in the interview until we got to the question about why she had left her previous job. She told us everyone there was out to get her."

Worst Cubicles
A lot of people probably wish they had better cubicles, but after you see what we have in store for you, you'll just be glad that you're not one of them.
Good pictures after the jump...
no parking in my office. it's already small enough.
This gives new meaning to the phrase "corner office."
cardboard boxes as desk drawers. very resourceful.
"My desk has a column in the middle of it. Then it was cut in half. Now the wiring doesn't work." Shuffle the syllables around, and you could have a sad haiku.
" The winner the Wired News saddest-cubicles contest is David Gunnells, an IT guy at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His desk is penned in by heavily used filing cabinets in a windowless conference room, near a poorly ventilated bathroom and a microwave. The overhead light doesn't work -- his mother-in-law was so saddened by his cube that she gave him a lamp -- and the other side of the wall is a parking garage. Gunnells recalls a day when one co-worker reheated catfish in the microwave, while another used the bathroom and covered the smell with a stinky air freshener. Lovely. "

Excuses for Going to Work Late
We all know the feeling when the alarm goes off at 6 in the morning, you just want to throw it against the wall. That might work for the lucky few who have lenient bosses, but for the rest of us, that means we better come up with some damn good excuses for being late. again.
Here are 10 real-life excuses we found that should NEVER be used:
1. While rowing across the river to work, I got lost in the fog.
2. Someone stole all my daffodils.
3. I had to go audition for American Idol.
4. My ex-husband stole my car so I couldn't drive to work.
5. My route to work was shut down by a presidential motorcade.
6. I have transient amnesia and couldn't remember my job.
7. I was indicted for securities fraud this morning.
8. The line was too long at Starbucks.
9. I was trying to get my gun back from the police.
10.I didn't have money for gas because all of the pawnshops were closed.
I was pretty lucky this morning and made it to work on time because i cured my transient amenesia last week and since the police didn't take away my gun, i used it to cut down the long line at Starbucks. What can I say? I'm a lucky guy!
