Cube House

drkanta writes "Hey, I decided to decorate my cube for a holiday decoration contest. Well, I went all out and had a lot of fun and turned my cube into a house. I thought it was very very funny. What bugged me was that some people asked me where I saw this before to get my idea. What? Saw something like this before? My question is: has anyone done something like this before?"

And the question is

Where do you work that you can get away with doing this.

props!

You could reuse the frame to make a haunted house for Halloween ;)

Heat?

[jerkychew]

Wouldn't it get pretty warm in there?

Why not paint a bullseye on the cube instead...

I thought things got out of hand at *my* office during the holiday season. On a more serious note- clearly the individual who made the house/cubes company is not in downsizing mode. Still Looks like a big "Lay *me* off please" sign to me...

Uncreative People!

Wow, so you must work with some uncreative people, if they think that anything cool has to have been ripped off. I hope they don't have the same attitude to the actual WORK that you do.

Wish that I would get away with trying to build something like that. But instead of Santa visiting, the local fire department would be visiting instead.

Are my eyes deceiving me???

Is it just me or all the offices look alike. Man my office has exactly the same layout, floor, cube and ceiling. And then again you get to spend 5.5 hours doing things other than "work". Hope you are using "cover page" on all your reports :-)

Hats off to you mate - but I hate cube working

[mr_lithic]

I personally cannot see how this style of working is good for anyone.

Isolated behind cloth covered walls all day is not my idea of a good working environment.

My workplace is not ideal. We are semi-open plan with groups of four but it looks like luxury when compared to the layout of a cube farm.

Well done with the House Mate. However, by the time I got to the stage of making a house out of my cube I would have got out of that place.

Two Things

1. doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of a cubicle - getting up and looking at all the others... 2. personaly i'd like to see a borg cube(icle)... 'scuse me, while i [kissthisguy.com]

s metrosexual the 00s preppy?

No. More like the Tony Manero character from Saturday Night Fever, with the almost-but-not-queer obsession with primping and preening.

And why is it gay?

Just because they are scared shitless at the thought that something like this is not macho enough doesn't make it anymore ok to bash gay people. Disclaimer: I'm not gay, but don't like people calling things 'gay' because they don't like it or in order to be considered cool.

Seriously

[Overly Critical Guy]

Seriously, though, it's cool that his company lets him do things like that. Sounds like reasonable, human employers, which of course means a reasonable, fun place to work, which means better productivity.

I know many places that would have you called in their office for daring have such a "distraction on the floor."
