Cubicle Hell

February 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

If you’ve ever sat in an overly corporate atmosphere office underneath buzzing fluorescent lights doing bullshit work in what can only be described as “cubicle hell” (or if you’re in cubicle hell right now) you might like some of the stuff I’ve picked out below…enjoy!

cube farm - cubicle hell ground zero


Cubicle Hell quote from Peter Gibbons, Office Space movie: “It’s not just about me and my dream of doing nothing. It’s about all of us. I don’t know what happened to me at that hypnotherapist and, I don’t know, maybe it was just shock and it’s wearing off now, but when I saw that fat man keel over and die - Michael, we don’t have a lot of time on this earth! We weren’t meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements.”

Peter Gibbons quote: “So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that’s on the worst day of my life.”

I’m sure you know about YouTube - but do you know about YouCUBE?

And, last but not least, the Cubicle Hell song inspired by James Blunt…My Cubicle:





And here are the hellish My Cubicle song lyrics:

My job is stupid,
My day’s a bore,
Inside this office,
From 8 to 4.

Nothing ever happens,
My life is pretty blank,
Pretending that I am working,
Pray I don’t get canned.

My cubicle, my cubicle,
It’s 1 of 62,
It’s my small space,
In a crowded place,
Just a six by six board booth,
And I hate it, that’s the truth.

When I give a sigh,
As the boss walks by,
No one ever talks to me,
Or looks me in the eye,
And I really should work,
But instead I just sit here,
And surf the internet.

And my cubicle, my cubicle,
It doesn’t have a view,
It’s my small space,
In a crowded place,
I sit inside there too,
And sometimes I sit here nude.

    It reminds me of a time when a friend stopped by the office, and my cube, and commented, yours is the only one with no family or pet photos! I whispered in response, That’s because I’m just passing through. They’re lucky I’m wearing a tie!

    hey matt, i never really decked out my cube with too many pictures and stuff - but when i have worked in cubes before, i’ve found that adding some personal touches really helps make it feel a little more comfortable. :) you wore a tie! must be east coast. ;)
