Wow! I have not been here since 2002! I was lucky enough to get what I needed to reactivate my Researcher status.

Roaming the Cube Farm
Posted Oct 6, 2001
Well, the 'herd' at work is getting smaller due to lay-offs. And, the building were in is subsequently getting larger. The remaining few have now been regrouped in one quarter of the place so that we are not so scattered...so that we do not 'stray' from the 'herd'. So, once more, I had to pack up my shelf, file cabinet and computer and move to YET ANOTHER CUBE!!! Sorry. I did not mean to raise my voice.
Anyway, it does not matter. We will all be gone soon. Wish me luck.

The Cube Farm
Posted Jun 8, 2001
Today, at work, I recieved a new assignment. An assignment to a new cubicle, my second one since I recieved this job over four months ago.
My first cubicle was in a completely different building several miles away; and, before that, I spent two months sitting at other people's cubes whenever available and using thier computers.
I am a Help Desk Technician supporting thousands of DSL customers who are unfortunate enough to have this volitile, new high-speed internet access. Ahh, the joys of customer service when the only ones that call in have problems with the very service that we portray as being something that will make them very, very happy!
So, I sit in a cubicle, among hundreds of others, all day answering phone calls and troubleshooting computers. And, it's no fun when you have to disassemble a computer and move it completely across the "cube farm" and reassemble it again. Not to mention the many plants, stuffed animals, pictures and other nick-nacks decorating the small three walls called "home away from home". In about two weeks, I will actually be given a new role in my company and, the best part, is that I GET A NEW CUBICLE!!!
Jeez, whatever! I definitely feel like I am in a herd of cattle. Oh well! At least the breakroom has good food.
For now, good-bye and thanks for playin'!
