Thanks for being an awkwardly large desk with oddly short walls all these years
Big news, the cubicle turns 40 today! And what a humbling 40 years it’s been. What better way to start your day then to awkwardly slide your chair into a 90 degree angle of desk? Managing life in a cubicle is a serious assignment. Cube inhabiters do this by transforming the gray squishy wall that blurs their vision with it’s bland existence into a palette for creativity. HYPOTHETICALLY speaking, when a person walks by my cube they don’t just think oh there’s that girl naomi that has a dangerous addiction to cereal, they think oh there’s that girl naomi that has a dangerous addiction to cereal and is really smart because she has newspaper clippings up all around her cube and inspirational quotes from obscure philosophers.
To wish the almighty cube a big ‘thanks for making me feel like a huge tool everyday at my place of work’ birthday, office designers IDEO teamed up with Scott Adams (creator of the comic Dilbert) to create the ultimate cubicle.
