Cubicle Sovereign Mugs

"A man's cubicle is his castle—eh, chief?"

A paperwork machine spews endless paperwork

"Just heading out for a good cry, care to join me?"

"It's too late for Jim. The tchotchkes have him now."

'I'm thinking of cutting my hours down to 24/7."

"I tell you, it's a jungle out there!"

'By the time I get to greener pastures, my lawn mower will be worn out,'

Busy day at the office.

"He said his screen is frozen again."

'Are these billable hours?'

'I'm 43 years old. That's 64 in work years.'

"It's another day, Phil. Planning to suit up?"

"Jones is our go-to-thankless-job-guy!"

'Miss Johnson, would you mind ordering me another computer? And you can cancel that call to tech-support.'

"Damn! Just as my inertia was starting to build up momentum."

"Word is that since we increased your case load, you've been living at the office."

"Our constantant surveillance indicates workers are becoming more paranoid."

'We were able to make a quick alliance together because of common insecurities.'

'No good deed goes unpunished around here.'

'I can't figure out whether I'm a secretary or an executive - I do executive work, but get secretarial pay.'

"How was your day?"

"No, mom. . . it was last winter when I was skating on thin ice. This spring I'm just walking a fine line."

"When I want your advice, I'll ask for it... but in an oblique, face-saving way."

'This should soothe any hurt feelings.'

"You're nobody's fool but you're not too smart for you own good, either."

Natural Cycles in the Office Environment

"It's not that you're a failure. It's that you completely lack the capacity for success."

"I see myself rising through the ranks of the organization until midlife, when I will most likely hit a wall and go screaming through the door."

'Quite frankly sir, I think you're stifling my creativity.'

Two office workers playing between their cubicles.

"Show some appreciation when he comes home: he spends his days in a small cubicle staring at numbers on the screen. He puts up with a lot in order to feed us."

"You've been so productive lately, I've decided to lay the entire staff off so you can do their work as well."

There's got to be more to life than just sitting at a desk...

Bear Office Worker

"How many cubicles do you think this will penetrate?"
