Get an office job for a while then smoke more weed next time you watch it.

I cant imagine having to work in a cubical every single day for hours on, over and over and over and over and over again!
I feel sorry for you guys, yall must have some pretty boring lives.
P.S Office Space is such a bad movie, I tried watching 10 minutes of it and I couldnt take it.[/quote]
Working in a cubicle = boring life? Not true.

Let me guess - your co-workers are Jergens hand models? Totally understandable then
You are right… Jergens hand models… HA Ya right!
All I know is that they are odd odd coworkers

Are you sure they aren’t taking the jergens into the bathroom cubicles?
At an old job, there was a guy who, reportedly, polished the bishop every day in the toilet stall. This was relayed by a guy I worked with.
Now it’s just the guy that gets head in one of our company trucks - with a huge phone number on the side so the person that sees it can call in and tell us.
I have my own office so it’s not too much of a cubicle jungle.
I can close my door and blinds get a good stretch in.
I also bring my own food into work with me everyday and my staff have labelled it the ‘kegger’ since my lunch bag looks like a keg.

Is that negotiated into his terms of employment?

Well no. In fact, new employees now have to be told “no blow jobs in the company vehicles. Thanks” the moron actually went home and told his girlfriend we heard about it. I guess he never want head again.

Simply awesome - such a downer for new employees to learn that there no longer exists the opportunity for road head or in a stationary work truck, for that matter… wow contracting sounds like fun ouro…

UGH. As I look closer they both have bottles of lotion on their desk. I don’t doubt that one of them does bring in with him to the bathroom. He is gone for long random periods of time.

That’s nice.
While I don’t technically work in a cubicle, I have an office job, generally traveling to client sites and sitting in conference rooms so it’s not much different.
I actually like it, with my only gripe being the douche bags who fool themselves into thinking that casual friday is some sort of big treat. I don’t give a shit if you let me wear jeans to work on Fridays, it’s not something to look forward to.

You seem like a pretty young dude, what do you do for a living?
I have a cube job, although mine isn’t really a cube since it’s just 2 walls and open.
I usually just bring two shakes to work and hit up boston market for lunch though, that gets me through.
For chairs…I hate mine. I would kill for one with better lumbar support, I constantly shift forward in mine. But I watch it fairly carefully so I don’t end up with that head forward posture. I know if I have been bad anyways since my neck will start to hurt if i’ve been doing it too long.
I love my job though, even if it is an office job. Small companies rock.
Show up when I want in a t-shirt and jeans (or, hell, work from home some days), work on cool projects, don’t have to deal with shitty amounts of politics or beuracracy like at big companies, and get paid good for it since they know how good at my job I am.

Yes, yes it does.
There are some office jobs i’ve had where I wanted to kill myself though…some that were wayyy too close to office space.
Once I had to listen to my former boss talk to me for about a half hour on how his wife helped him make his powerpoint presentations all “cool”. They still looked like shit and this was an IT manager who should know how to fucking use powerpoint.
While not I dont work in a cubicle I do work in a room. Babysitting truck drivers is not as fun as it sounds.
Our chairs are decent and I do get to cut the cheese since the drivers smell like ass anyways. Nothing worse that 5 stinky ass truckers standing around talking about nothing…FML

Lol, I’m going to be a young 30 in 6 weeks. I work for Verizon doing tech support for fellow techs in the company.

I guess the better question is: Does he come back to his desk, have a sandwich and then take a nap?
If I had a quarter for every time I heard “eating again???”…
We had this run of clerks for about a year. One brings in a small TV on her FIRST day so she can watch her soap operas. She was famous for coming in late, going to the cafeteria, getting breakfast and coming back to her open office to eat.
Lunch was the same deal, she’d be gone for longer than the given 1/2 hour, get back and dive into her Burger King bag. They did axe her, but had to go through the whole HR prescribed way of doing so, it took them 8 weeks.
Another specimen was an intern from a local college. She was into that renaissance fair thing, role playing groups and other crap like that. She’d admit to coming to work on 1 hour of sleep.
The best was when she was fast asleep at the key board. Our 2 levels up BIG boss walks past, gets our local boss and they go out to look at her. The big boss leaves, my boss walks over to the files next to her, puls out a file drawer all the way and gives it a huge slam.
She jumps, starts typing like mad. Needless to say, that she didn’t make it to the end of her summer internship.

…I’d be able to pay off that bitch who is suing her ex for more than her previously stated 43 million dollars.

I refuse to wear anything but a suit to work. I did not get my MBA to wear jeans to work.
