Fare Thee Mel: Back To The Cubicle

I’m back to work after 12 days away - 10 vacation plus the weekend prior. It was quite busy while I was gone. Fortunately my staff (the girls, women, team or whatever they are called!) did awesome.

Yesterday was my 11 year anniversary working for this government agency. I spent about 4.5 years at my last unit and I have 6.5 at my current position. (I was promoted.) I never worked in a cubicle in any of my past jobs. Subtracting days off and holidays, I calculate that I’ve spent 18,562 hours in a cubicle. But who’s counting?

Apparently the government thinks we work better in big open spaces where we can all see and hear each other. This puts a positive spin on meetings - at least I get out of the cubicle.

Fortunately, we cubicle dwellers have come up with a few diversions to help us get through our days.

Happy working!
