What gets you through your day?

I started a new job about 6 months ago where i would be working in a cubicle and it has been 6 months of hell with bouts of cubicle anxiety. I worked for two years in a similar environment however the dividers were only about 3.5 ft high and I could talk to my buddy I worked with.

I didn't know they were downgrading me to a cube or I probably wouldn't have taken the job

My office is all cubes, new age open floor plan to help "facilitate teamwork". No offices even for the big dogs. They pump in white noise but it still isn't enough to drown out the loud arse people that don't have cubicle voices. There is no privacy.

I'm pretty much devoid of all existence at this point. Looking at my paycheck gets me through my day.

My manager sits in the cube directly beside me so I am on pins and needles whenever I take a few minutes to jump on the OT lounge and start threads about cubicles. I'm looking over my shoulder as we speak.

Form strong relationships with your neighbors. Otherwise it's hell.

frick that shite. At least with full height cube walls you have some semblence of privacy. With those short walls you can't even scratch your nose.

Surviving cube life is like flying coach to Nigeria. You settle in to your small space, put your headphones on, and just get through it.

I listen to music from the moment I walk in to when I leave.

Bought me some beats (racist I know) and I can work in peace

Our cubicles are solid wall at the bottom with plexiglass on the top half. So no privacy whatsoever.

To get through the day, I use my unlimited 4g data to do Netflix, HBOGO, and Hulu plus. I also have the luxury to not be firewalled from this site and a few other decent ones.

You have to force yourself to get up often to walk around and see something different. A little exercise by doing so helps and take different routes through your building. Walk outside if you can. And, finally, a window seat certainly helps a ton!

The movie Office Space scared me away from office work. I just couldn't do it.
I went to my Mom's call center the other day (the complaint center for the USPS - you can imagine it's massive 1 of 3 in US)

Tons and tons of mini cubicles. Just no way I could.

I miss windows. I'd kill for a window.

And lamps. I wish I could get rid of the fluorescent lights and put in lamps.

I do all the work they give me timely and am always asking for more

Not my fault we're over staffed
