Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle

As someone who has spent the last six weeks working in a cubicle for the first time in about 15 years, I can tell you that way to many of these are true...

David Letterman's Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle
10. Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a freakin' box all day long.
9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning around to see who's behind you.
8. Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind of gun fire.
7. That nagging feeling that if you press the right button, you'll get apiece of cheese.
6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose.
5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.
4. 23 power cords - 1 outlet.
3. Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.
2. The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs of life than your coworkers.
And the Number 1 drawback to working in a cubicle is...

1. You can't walk out and slam the door when you quit.

You forgot one ... No matter if you are the lucky one with the cubicle on the corner so it is a little bigger then everyone else's, or if you are in the REALLY small ones, everyday you sit there and think, I am going to die in this spot aren't I??


Okay so I am being dramatic, but I have felt this feeling...many times!!
