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

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

Busy day at the office.

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

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

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

'Are these billable hours?'

"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."

'No good deed goes unpunished around here.'

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

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

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

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

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

Natural Cycles in the Office Environment

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

"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."

'This should soothe any hurt feelings.'

"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.

"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...

"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."

Bear Office Worker

"I'd like your honest, unbiased and possibly career-ending opinion on something."

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