I'm not afraid to admit: I like my cubicle. It's a pretty good size: approx 5 x 8.
However, in one of my previous jobs, the cubes were smaller (more like the size of a bathroom stall) and shared by 2 workers: one working days; the other working evenings.

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

I think I might sit in the most depressing cube of all time.
Even the walls are grey. I tried to give it a homey feel by putting up a David Hasselhoff calendar, but he's fighting a losing battle.
The good news is there is help out there:
Pimp My Cube.

Ahhh, this picture reminds me of a booby trap I once engineered to dump a large quantity of peanuts on a certain person as he entered his office.

I became a Milton at my last job. They kept moving me around from cubicle to cubicle just to annoy me. But I showed them--I showed them all. MUHUHAHAHAAAAAAA

Nothing says, "We think you are a temporary employee", like a cube.
