    10. Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a freakin' box all day long. 9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to see who's behind you. 8. Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gun fire. 7. The nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get a piece of cheese. 6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose. 5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right. 4. 23 power cords - 1 outlet. 3. Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds. 2. The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs of life than your co-workers. And the number 1 drawback to working in a cubicle: 1. You can't slam the door and walk out when you quit.

        Advantages... 1. you could hit the next guy's head without much trouble 2. you could practise dartboard and hope your boss id passing by 3. no creaking door to distract you from the darth vader game 4. Use obscenity in a foreign language and no one will know 5. Head for the loo at the last minute coz u have one door less to open 6. Ditto for the coffee machine Pia "Don't try to out-weird me, three eyes. I get weirder things than you in my breakfast cereal."

          Nor are you protected from the visual "treat" of a dorky male co-worker who decides to wear his shirts half open (i.e. top 6 buttons undone), barefoot, and decides at random moments during conversations (facing you of course) to reach a bare hand down in his pants and re-arrange the family jewels. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

I don't consider myself a prude, but jeez-a-loo, in the middle of office? ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

                    Maybe he checks their whereabouts.....don't you check your bank balance often...!! I guess its reassuring to know 'hey they are still there...jeez!' Or he needs to invest in better fitting underwear so that he needn't worry about gravity all the time :) Pia "Don't try to out-weird me, three eyes.
