Nomenclature 2 Rethinkify
'Cubicle' has such a negative connotation. From now on I'm not referring to my work station as a 'cubicle' (or 'cube') but rather as a 'cubby' or 'cubby house'. I feel like I'm having fun already!

keep having fun (what else is there?)

'lb' on Fri, 08 Oct 2004 04:27:55 GMT, sez: shit john -- that's brilliantly depressing!
good suggestions Kip
meanwhile, a colleague was just warned for having a quote affixed to his wall which had a 'negative message.'
'Angus Logan' on Fri, 08 Oct 2004 11:22:55 GMT, sez: The quality of the work that comes out of yours I think 'cubby house' is good!
(aw. i'm bad!)
'Jason Kaczor' on Fri, 08 Oct 2004 12:09:28 GMT, sez: Hmm, up here (Canada) I am only familiar with using the term "cubby" in conjunction with "hole" as in:
"put those papers in the cubby-hole."
sigh. was it Wired, or the original "Code Complete" where actually it was noted that prison cells have MORE space than the average cube.

>the average cube
Argh! that's a grim truth.
On second thought, at least I don't have to sleep and go wee-wees in my cubby.
