edpaffjr.comI forgot how crappy cubicles really are. I don’t think this office thing would be so bad if I had walls that were more than three feet tall and a little more privacy. At home I was able to remove myself from all distractions and get things done quickly and without being disturbed. Now I can hear every conversation that at least three other people have throughout the day. People are constantly walking past my area, and there are just way too many distractions. I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to be in here every day, but I’m guessing that’s what they want me to do. I guess I’ll figure out more things as the week goes on. The person that was supposed to show me around today and help make the transition easier didn’t even show up. I guess I should have figured that would happen, this whole process has been extremely disorganized. Here’s to hoping for a better Tuesday.

If it’s any consolation, it never gets any better. Never, ever, ever. Maybe you’ll get lucky like me and get a neighbor that chronically clears their throat every 15 seconds, it really adds to the ambiance of cubicle life.
That’s true. The lady on the one side of me was in for half of the day. But the guy on the other side wasn’t in at all. So it could very easily get worse.
My motto – welcome to the 8th floor where your business is my business. I’m lucky enough to have a door, but for those who don’t – you hear EVERYTHING! Enjoy cube life….it will only make you stronger.
I’m just happy that I remembered some headphones today. Hopefully I can drown everyone else out while listening to Howard Stern.
