Today’s Theme Music

I wanted something lighter today. A favorite parody is ‘My Cubicle’, a take-off on James Blunt’s song, ‘You’re Beautiful’, 2004. The parody probably emerged within two years. I always had an office. However, my team and a lot of friends worked in cubicle warrens, and my wife was an office manager and HR manager. Between them, I received a daily infusion of irritations and frustrations with cubicle working. I once visited an enormous Air Force office space that had been converted into cubicles and was appalled. Of course, I think cubicles are better than those enormous open spaces of rows and columns of desks and filing cabinets that provided no privacy. That’s just my sense of it because I never worked in one of those, but only knew of them through visiting, television shows and movies.

Anyway, turn it up and sing along. I hope it provides you with a laugh.

  1. In my opinion, half-walls are better than no walls at all when trying to work around a lot of people. I know from personal experience that I cannot work if someone keeps walking behind me, too close to my personal space. I THINK I could handle a cubicle if I could turn my desk so my back was to the divider rather than to the opening in it.

    1. Interesting. I’m also not fond of such disruptions. I agree in principle that half-walls are better than nothing. Worse was the phone banks, with but a partial panel between each one. Thanks for reading and commenting. Cheers
