That is hilarious - and tragic. As a very temporary cubicle dweller, I can allow the full horror into my soul....
I love the way the animals occasionally stand up - like so many mythical wherethefuckarewee birds, leaping and fluttering to see above the grasses, or like meercats on alert - to survey their surroundings and spot a passing colleague...
Wow! You have a plant! In my building to have a plant which is tended for you means you are a high muckety-muck.
I occasionally stand up to stretch and see the sky. I didn't know it had a name!
stop yer whining and get to work cubicle creature.
pueo
I'm having great difficulty imagining the bunny person restricted to a cubicle. Seems kinda odd ....
well! I thought you were talking about endangered feces...
never mind.
We made an all open environment in my last group. boy did that suck. Like Yankee stadium where everyone could hear everyone else and we had thick carpet and sound deadeners. cubes work the best. I dont see why cubes dont have higher walls so the "whackamole" effect doesnt rule.
in a previous company my geophys staff had like an avenue of cubes. At the entrance of their cubealley They made a big sign out of plastic foam letters that looked like stone and carved intoitwas the entire Dante Inferno line that ends with Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Dark geophysical humor, yet a sincere crying out by the techn o weens that they are literate also
{shudder}
I've avoided that envirnoment like the plague for my whole life. So, I haven't any tips for you. But, I'm sympathetic!
What unlikely places for a farmerman to work in!
The cubes in our new building are almost office-like for me - as I'm not tall enough to see over the cube walls.
This is an education for me. Never heard of dilberts & endless cubicles before. I wonder how much a person is allowed to personalize their space? I know Deb has a pot plant, but are there any restrictions on making one's cubicle more homely & comfortable?

deb has a pot plant in her cube? wow, not that's a liberal office
Yes, pueo, & someone waters it everyday, too!
The ability to personalize the cube is quite variable. Some companies encourage it, others discourage it actively.
In our office, the one big rule is that nothing can stick up over the top of the cubes. They say it has to do with maintaining proper air circulation. One of my cube neighbours is concerned, as her bamboo plant is now over the top of the cubicle. What to do? Wait until told to do something, or deal with it herself?
how about getting a panda?
I'll tell MsM about your suggestions. I'm sure she'll be appreciative - or be convinced that I really am as loony as she suspects.
But seriously, could some businesses restrict things like photographs of family/loved ones in these dratted cubicles? Or flowers, or pin-ups? Is there a sort of style code?
Sorry we weren't more help, ehBeth ... Just feeling a bit silly today.
i don't think my panda idea is silly at all.
