We're prettier, so they don't want us hidden?
Yeah, I think I'll go with that.

I find it interesting that we are "housed" openly while brooms and vacuum cleaners get their own "office" with a door that closes.

Except for a stint at Telcordia, I've always been in cubicle land. The worst it ever got was a contract job, when I didn't even have a cubicle. I had half of a table that was a cubicle wide. Oh, and a file cabinet.

At Telcordia, I shared an actual OFFICE. Concrete block walls (reminded me of my college dorm). A solid door. And my office mate was a quiet guy. I was pretty productive on that job, and I think the quality of my work was better, also. How I miss that! Most of what I overhear these days (I sit in the middle of the team I support) isn't really useful to what I'm doing, but it is very, very distracting.

I suppose I should be grateful I even have a cube that's only mine. And this one has loads of storage space, including a little closet so I have someplace to hang up my coat.
