cubicle song

My sister sent me a song that was perfect. The Cubicle Song - listen to it here. The lyrics describes my work environment. I live in a cubicle world. If you have not had the pleasure of working in a cube, then you will not know the trials and tribulations associated with it. By the way - I don't have one of those fancy cubes with high walls for semi-privacy. The walls are low enough so that we can all see each other's 19 inch monitors. Plus I can touch all 3 walls while sitting in my chair! It's not a cube...it's a cell...complete with a warden. :-)

I saw this cartoon - it's funny because it's TRUE! Our Guildford Corporate Center (GCC...aka "Telephone Claims")is our largest call center. All the cubes on the 3rd floor have their own "address" which includes a desk number and street/avenues name. So it would be like telling someone that you reside at 3176 25th Street. What's even more hilarious (or not) is that all the rows have the signs hanging down from the ceiling so that you know which street/avenue you're walking down. I've got to get a live picture of that place for you guys. What is the corporate world coming to?! I like the new concept of pods (low cubes that face each other) - but due to amount of people and lack of space, we'll never have that. There are those at GCC that have no permanent desk. They come into their shift and sit at any desk that is available. This is only possible because this center is open 24/7 (they are the "dial-a-claim" crew). :-) Because of this particular center - my own department has to be 24/7 as well to support them! Sucks to be those who have to be on the graveyard shifts!
