and there is no "J" in ".gif"guess you'd have to hear the dude reciting a small novel vs. saying "upload the file" to get the full annoyance.

cubiculture is fun, if you have the right mindset. For a little while it can be really great to watch the marketing newbies immitate the executives and assimilate their cues in order to impress the boss -
It's hillarious to watch conversations between the engineers and marketers, the false pretense that is so very understood, but still ignored since, well, it's how things are supposed to work. And then they go and bitch to the other like members of the company and never realize that they actually were agreeing, just not explaining it the same way.
It's fun to bend the stilly norms and watch to see who gets upset. Come in at 10 and leave at 7, I bet the CEO still thinks you're not putting in the effort, since he leaves at 5 and so do all the important people. Wear loud clothes, dye your hair, and get things pierced, there will be some surpising revelations when a couple of the execs start cheering you on, living vicariously through something they turned away from in order to get their position.
Office Space rocks, but nothing beats real-life cubiculture!

1. people who don't know anything but act like they do
2. people who cough loudly and constantly who are able to shut their fucking office door but choose not to, spreading their S.A.R.S. infested selves into the office air.
3. managers who decide to have a meeting with a client who choose not to shut their door, so that the rest of the office can hear them talk about stuff they know nothing about. "Oh, for that we'll use cascading stylesheets. Everybody uses cascading stylesheets now! Didn't you know that?"
4. managers who use web dev vocabulary to try and sound knowledgable to the client, when in fact they know nothing about what they are saying and end up confusing the client even more.
5. female managers with grizzly bear hair arms.
6. coworkers who laugh loudly and incessantly at their own jokes
7. coworkers who talk to themselves too much.

people who feel the need to print every fuckin email just so they can "put in in a file" or so that "i can have a copy." wtf is wrong with forwarding the email to me?
paper wasters...
- mayo0
co-workers who borrow one of your books or mags to reference something, then don't put it back on the shelf where they found it. In fact, they sometimes leave it on your desk open to the page they found what they needed on.
or, if they play with the nerf basketball set up you have in your office and knock the backboard to the ground, they leave it there and walk away.

managers who feel the need to talk 3in away from your face explaining cascading style sheets.
managers who try to help but end up over writing your files that you just worked on.

hey at my day job, i just got in trouble for calling out my project manager for coverig for this one girl here who has no html or graphic design skills. she was assigned two design projects, and with both projects, she had her friend make the designs for her.
so i just got a verbal warning for simply sending an email to the PM saying how much bullshit it was not once, but twice (happened again last week). she's covering for the girl, and my warning was for my attitude and animosity or something towards the PM. how's that for bullshit.
