Thursday, August 30th, 2007Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You’ll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me.
Hey Cube Pirate, I almost missed out on the tag sale this Monday.
Three of […]
Cube Scavenging Ethics
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007Today I scored a wrist pad for both my mouse and keyboard from some newly vacant cubes. It feels wrong taking something that your former coworker was using 2 days ago, before they were “reorganized” out of a job. Although, by the time I got in there to see what I could find, […]
Cable Guy
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Are there any other industries where “Between 11-2pm” actually means 4:30pm, with a return trip at 6:30pm to fix a previous mistake?
Free Lunch Redux
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007Okay, you may have read about my transgression yesterday and stealing a free lunch from the man. Now the man has taken the insult one step further, he has posted a sign stating “Lunch for meeting participants only”. I say, sign, sign everywhere a sign. What gives you the right to exclude your colleagues from […]
The De-evolution of Man
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007I have proof that living in a cube world is not natural progression in the evolution of man. It is actually a “de-evolutionary” step for mankind. We have become highly educated professionals. Our reward for going to college is supposed to be a cushy office job; one where others are not trying to eat you […]
A/C Fiasco
Thursday, August 16th, 2007I visited my friend Brad’s new 4th floor apartment last weekend. When I got there he was disgruntled due to the fact that he lugged an 11,000btu A/C up there only to find out that I didn’t fit in the wall cut-out. I proceeded to laugh at him, and enjoy his misery.
A few […]
Salt in the wound
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007Just when I thought it was bad enough being in my windowless cubicle on a gorgeous late summer day, a buddy/soon-to-be-roommate IMs me:
Bob oh sure
Bob called out sick
Bob goin to the beach
Me you bastard
Me didnt you already have Monday off?
Bob yeah
Bob i’m “sick” today
Bob i had to i went in yesterday and wanted to kill myself
Bob […]
Here’s one for the CubePirates chronicles.
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007Here’s one for the Cube Pirates chronicles. I’ve been in my new office with the deluxe window view of cube hallway for less than one week. Already The Man has devised a way to get me back into a cube. I’ve never had a day’s trouble with my computer, until yesterday. It was crunch time […]
Serenity now
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007The other day I woke up around 4:30 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I finally just got up to face the cubicle. I figured at least I would be able to leave in time to get an oil change, which I had to do anyway before a road trip this weekend. I called […]
A True Cube Pirate
Monday, August 13th, 2007These speakers and subwoofer were legitimately taken from another cube by my friend Fives. Notice the shameless plug on the monitor as well. Nicely done if I must say so.
