I absolutely never would have thought that I would be pleased to be sitting behind a cube wall. But I am, and I am pleased. It's not a full blown cube, and I have a LOT of space, in addition to a new 7ft/4ft L-shaped desk. Plus I have privacy to concentrate and get stuff done. I might get some little speakers for my iPod now that I have a little noise barrier. Also, I have been here just about three months. I can't believe it! I think some people thought that I was trying to avoid them by asking for walls (that were offered to me, btw), but I am the only person, aside from our admin, whose desk was just sitting out in front of everyone. I felt like a glorified secretary, and also like whatever work I was doing wasn't quite important enough to warrant privacy and quiet. People would stand right in front of my desk by the file cabinets and have conversations that didn't involve me at all. I'd just look up from time to time to see if they noticed that I was trying to work, but I rarely got a response.
Anyway, maybe it's a little sad to be so excited for something like a cube wall, but I don't care. Yippee for me! :)

yay for cubicles. welcome to office life :)
Mm...cubicle is so much better than a bunch of aisles stocked with merchandise. And coworkers talking by the filing cabinets are so much better than customers yelling at you on the phone that they spend $1500 a month and that you owe it to them to hold the next Nintendo Wii in their name. I envy you, Colleen. Now, if only I could find a different job.
my office is so lush that it has a bed in it. yeah!
i need a real office.
Well...Gerald, I didn't recognize you. Actually, though, it makes sense you commented on her blog...it seems as though your "I Never Post" sickness has spread to Colleen now. Not good.
