sidenote: So my attempt to use blogging as motivation to write letters didn't work. I haven't written since Starbucks, and they never wrote back. Instead of encouraging me to write more letters, it resulted in me just never posting to my blog.

I'm currently looking for cubical gear - I can't really stand working in a cubicle - and my cubicle is right at the entrance to the office, so everyone who walks in is looking right into my cubicle, and over my shoulder.

I disagree with at least part of the premise of a cubicle - that workers will be more efficient and work harder if they are never allowed to see or hear or interact with their co-workers. Who thought it was a good idea to have a team of people who were unable to work together because walls were between them. I'm imagining what a football team would be like if they players couldn't see each other. The game wouldn't work too well.

From cubicle warfare weapons (potato pellet gun, and mini catapults) at http://www.x-tremegeek.com/, to Feaux window frames (I had the idea, didn't know people actually made them just for cubicles), to lamps and magnets, I will turn my cubicle to something other than the sterile efficiency that it is now.

   How about posters of Michael W Smith? That would jazz things up a bit, don't you think?

   Although your picture was rather misleading, it gave me a great idea. What if you posted pictures and then let people guess what you were going to post on before you actually put text on the post?
   
   For example, for the above picture I would have started with the title "I'm getting out of here!" and gone from there.

   Sounds like a good idea, let's give it a try:
