There's lots of things I'd like to do, especially when compared to
working in a (*@#&$(* cubicle.

There are worse fates. During my last venture in the world of working
for others, our owners believed in the "open office" setting, to
provide "synergy" in the workplace. Thus, all of our desks were in
a big room, with nothing but file cabinets demarking our territory.

What this meant, in practice, was that very litle work was
accomplished. Everyone would walk past, cup of coffee in hand, on the
way to fill in the blank, and -- being nice people -- would simply
HAVE to say "How's it goin', Jay?"

You can't ignore your co-workers, so the ensuing conversations --
times 200 people -- meant that we had a very lively social life in the
newspaper, and not a lot of productivity.
