bleh, I'm a total mess this morning...just had to watch the ex say goodbye to the baby since he's off to boot camp until Christmas. I don't even know how much information I should give her later when she asks where he is and such, since she can't really conceive of that much time. *sigh*
Anyway, I thought I would share with all of you how great my boss is. Yesterday I arrived at my office to discover that I had a new door to my cubicle! It's almost as good as getting a promotion or a raise.

I really appreciate the fine craftsmanship.
I like that it's set up like saloon doors held together with a little clip. I was really hoping that meant there would be alcohol, but no.

Oooh, cardboard, very nice! Luxury. Back in my days, we made doors our of dead rats. We'd have to find the rats, capture them, suffocate them with our bare hands, and then skin them with our teeth. Then we'd stitch all the skins of the dead rats together using mice entrails, which meant we had to find some mice, capture them, suffocate them with our bare hands, and them skin them with our teeth. Then we'd take the entrails of the mice and dry them by blowing on them for a few hours straight.
And solar tape! Don't get me started on solar tape. Back in my days...
So what happened to your previous door anyway? Did it get credit crunched?

I live in cubicle land...there are no doors here. I'm the only one on the entire floor with a door! *beams*

And a quick follow-up: do beans burn on the grill?

That's packing tape. We used up all the duct tape a few months ago sealing someone's cubicle entirely. It took a long time, but it was worth it.

Oh no one was inside when we did it. By the time they got in, they were probably too tired to do much. That guy doesn't work here anymore. He moved to North Carolina, oddly.

Well a real mechanic only needs two tools. WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone that life has given vodka and have party.

Is this strategically placed door so you can zip into your Wonder-Woman outfit now that the stationary closet has been down-sized and outsourced?

Yeah, we've tried the remote manager thing before. It doesn't work well, at least not full-time.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I'm also of the mindset that while I enjoy the flexibility to work from home if possible (maybe you just need a day in pjs or maybe the weather sucks for driving), I also like the ability to "leave work at the office" and the lines between "work time" and "living time" get blurrier and blurrier the more you work from home. It takes a level of compartmentalization that I have trouble with if I feel like there's work to be done and I'm in a position to do it.

Have you tried cardboard boxes and solar tape?
The amount of files that I work through during the day is staggering and my cubicle is right by the CEO's office and he sees my cubicle daily. I know that it irritates him to see the amount of files that I have, and he knows that I can't have just one working file on my desk. I don't know any legal person that doesn't have a zillion files everywhere. So I bought a Chinese folding screen and block the opening to my cubicle, so he doesn't have to see the stacked files.
