My co-worker has barricaded himself in his cube with a spare piece of wall. Says he doesn't want to deal with anybody today.

UPDATE: I stand corrected. Apparently the modifications happened after he left to go catch the bus last night, rather than being voluntary on his part. He has taken the rest of the doughnuts and bagels hostage until such time as the perpetrator returns things to their original state.

Ok . . that's a little extreme.

Wish I could do that.

Ditto.

I really, really miss having even a semi-private office. I'm hoping that there'll be a new round of build-outs at my current employer to free up office space. I'd be next in line...

If I understand things correctly, I will soon have an office for the first time in my life. Whatever will I DO with one? Keeping my eye out for planty bits and maybe a desktop fountain. Must find decent PICTURES.

I think I'll even have a door. Such luxury.

I understand it is customary to display your degrees and certificates on the walls of one's office.

Goodness I hope so, given that so far they are the *only* things displayed on my office walls and I'd hate for people to think I'm being pretentious!

Must find good wall-hanging art.

Funny. I was contemplating bringing in sandbags.

However, my colleagues might look askance at tasers.

One of my former coworkers was working on a project that required a certain amount of uninterrupted concentration time. However, her cube was next to a network printer (where people are passing by all the time and then talking to her), so she bought a silk-screened banner off Ebay and put a spring-loaded curtain rod through it so she could close off the entrance to her cube. Despite her having a clear corner to see in/out, management informed her not to use it because it seemed like she was closing herself off too much. Sigh.

She gave it to me when they terminated her - but I can't use it as a door because I need a longer rod for the opening to my cube. I'm hoping to get an enclosed space of ANY sort when we finally get into the new space (I've volunteered to move into the network room in the meantime as we run out of room...)

If you need any spring-loaded rods (you might be able to get away with the hanging if you tied it off to one side a little?), let me know. We have lots.

They are terribly useful for things like putting kitchen towels rods in apartments that don't have them. I even have a shower curtain rod currently acting as a closet rod in my closet because there wasn't one there when we moved in. In the past it's been used as a bathroom towel rod in my apartment in Chicago and as a paper towel holder in our kitchen in Madison (the gap between cupboards was longer than the other spring loaded rods we had).

I hear Thinkgeek has red Swingline staplers, as a peace offering in case you need him for something.

[stefka.livejournal.com]

They do.

Did you know the original one from "Office Space" was a regular black one that the props department painted red? Swingline started making the red ones after the movie came out, when people demanded them as quiet little signs of rebellion!

I have found those rods are wonderful, and some cube furniture have doors. Kid ya not.

I'd offer to keep track of who comes by to look, as long as I got a bagel out of it.
