Positives:
- The ringer on my phone is the same ringer as the CTU ringer on 24.Â
- I sit away from everyone . . . I enjoy the solitude and peace and quiet.
- It’s bigger.
Negatives:
- I sit under some type of ventalation system that makes a noise as if a plane is taking off or landing about every 10 seconds and it’s driving me crazy.  I feel like my cube is next to the runway at DFW. It’s time to crank up the headphones.
- The printer, copier, breakroom, and restroom are very far away.
Follow up questions…
1) Does you computer face the cube entrance where your boss can see you blogging? That’s a huge drawback in my cube.
2) What pics to you have up? I have my late mom and my son.
Jeez I need to clean up my cube.
I’m backing down from my old stance that I would not comment on any of my posts, so here it goes . . .
My computer is at the very end of an island, and my manager’s cube is about 10 cubes down on the island behind me. I have a small mirror on my monitor that helps me know when someone is approaching. In terms of blogging, that’s all I did in my previous position because I wasn’t challenged in the least. Know I do the majority of my blogging at home. My readers are cheated because I don’t have the time to blog as I normally would and I’m not able to hit all the sources I would normally take a look at.
For pictures that I have up, there are only two as of right now. One is of WifeGeeding holding a football on the center field star in Texas Stadium. The other pic is of David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman standing in from of KITT circa 1985.
The Hasselhoff/Coleman/KITT picture has created a huge “?” hovering somewhere over my cube.
It just makes me laugh. As a kid I really enjoyed those two shows, and now it makes me laugh just how cool I thought they were.
The KITT picture is all the confirmation we ever needed for the ‘official’ nerd status of Sir Geeding.
It’s like Carl Weathers, Abraham Linclon and the Statue of Liberty at the end of Happy Gilmore. It’s just fun for no apparent reason!
