I thought the whole cubicle thing only existed in Dilbert strips. They seem a peculiarly American invention, rather at odds with freedom, home of the brave, etc. Us Brits prefer to be able to see our colleagues, rather than just hear their mutterings and ticks, to really build up a good head of steam about the annoying way they sit on their chairs, etc.

What was that film, American, about cubicle life, funny, *dies*

Office Space?

We have cubes at my job too: a huge city of cubicles surrounded by an outer wing of boss offices. Just to add to the inmate feel, you know.

It was Office Space. I have not yet seen the film, but have been told by numerous co-workers that I should.

rooster -- my office is set up in the same manner, with management sitting in their offices on the perimeter.

I guess that's common, but froopy's offices aren't that way. But he's management, so he gets walls and a door and windows.

I have a window; it's not mine, but I'm still permitted to gaze dreamily out of it from time to time.

I'd kill for a door. [Frown]

Think yourselves lucky. I have to share a computer terminal with five people. I would kill for a cubicle.

I can't complain. While working from home I have a door and TWO windows and a sofa (and a baby in a cage).

I have two sons. They don't lay eggs.

ETA: Was it ever determined who you are, Deep Freeze?

"Was it ever determined who you are Deep Freeze"

I don't think so. I am a nobody, hoping possibly to become a somebody, or at least a piece of the funriture here.

I think poeple stopped asking who I was and just asked if I eat penguins or have lightsabre fights with my collegues with shafts of frozen wee

This is precisely why I asked; you just saved me the trouble of going back and reading that crap.

I should mention the cage is a "Superyard XT," so it isn't like she is cramped (I really just like saying Superyard XT, it sounds cool).

I will probably edit all this out because this approaches "baby talk" which I believe is forbidden on tmo.

Must. Save. rooster. Quote.

She likes it? How can you tell, really? Or do you just say that to make yourself feel better?

Fine, keep it, but now you are responsible. Like = doesn't cry (and sometimes squeeks with delight).

Yeah. Happy to save you the time.

We had to stop the lightsabre fights anyway because the guy playing Vader got ill trying to make a red sword.

Or maybe that was an excuse to take all our cherrys (In pies in case you wondered)

I've got a cubicle. It's just high enough so you can't make eye contact with anyone else. The only consolation is the fact I am next to the window and I'm on the fourth floor so I can see the rolling hills of Hertfordshire over the tops of the buildings.

Even this would drive me mad if I thought I would be doing it much longer. Anyone want to book me for educational school visits? R*mans, Saxons and now Victorians. Roll up, roll up...

Show off.

[Mod edit - Are you trying to do the UBB yourself ? Or are you using the shortcuts, and if so have they malfunctioned ? I've seen a lot of UBB 'fuckups' in the past couple of days and wonder if I need to reset the forum software]

Oh I understand now. You have rewritten my post to make it work. I feel like a fve year old being corrected by a teacher. I have just been using the quote button. It doesn't seem to work the same way as other websites.

It's the qb thing which is confusing me. Isn't it normally just a b?

Just me testing stuff, ignore it newbie [Wink]

QB is for Quotes and B is for bold, though like HTML to end something it's /B or /QB whereas what came out in your post was B/

I need to know if it's the forum code of human error, I think I know now.

As you were.

So many newbies, what happened ?

Oh, and hello and welcome.

No. I've found him to be pure concentrated evil. My opinion of course. [Smile]

You now have to decide whether to trust your own opinion or that of a convicted dog killer MonkeySusan. It's a tough decision, and one that could well shape the rest of your life

I found this pretty funny and actually I have had really bad haematuria because of my deadly kidney disease. So, you know, it's like a cripple laughing at your "spastic" joke -- a vote that really means something.

I think you were kind of tried in your absence, ralph.

Sorry. It wasn't meant to be a "spastic" joke. And it wasn't meant to offend anyone.

This posting thing is harder than it looks.
