Cubicle Day! - 28 April 2022

Yes, it's National Cubicle Day today! I know there are many office workers who are glad to be working from home offices rather than cubicles these days, but there are also many who would welcome the relative privacy of a cubicle rather than the current "open office" trend where each worker sits nearly on top of the next with no sense of personal space

Ah! for the glory days of cubicles when folks would decorate them with outdoor scene posters and cheap curtains to simulate a window. Some would even create window boxes with flowers from sheets of foam-core, colored with the lovely pastel shades of highlighters. At least there was some sense of ownership then. None of this "drop your stuff in a locker when you leave, grab it again in the morning when you arrive and try to find an available desk where you can do your work - remember, our employees are our greatest asset, that's why we treat them like cattle!" stuff back then. No sir.

Might as well pine for a desktop computer that means no work once one arrives home, eh?
