“Guess which is my cubicle?”

A colleague happened to be at my department, so I decided to show her my brand new cubicle. As I led her to the cubicle farm, I asked her to guess my cubicle.

“There - this one! The messiest one lor!” she declared loudly the moment she looked into one of the cubicles, and nothing was going to change her mind - not even the truth.

I shook my head and let out a sigh. I felt so misunderstood, I didn’t even bother trying to change her perception of me.

But dang, it was my cubicle.

I get this distinct feeling that someone is asking me not to complain about cubicle life:

Modern day workers are mostly well acquainted to cubicle life. Already we complain when we spend our 9-5 in square boxes. What if, just what if, we had to eat, sleep, change in our cubicles?
