Ten things that might make working more fun:
- switching to the four hour work day
- pinball
- live nude girls
- naptime followed by those little cartons of juice (well, I’m not 5 anymore. Maybe instead of an orange juice drink box, I could have one with Jack in it.)
- less depressing looking cubes
- a nice MTVish party-like atmosphere, you know, live performances, special guest stars, dancing in the aisles. That kinda thing.
- a midday break for crazy orgy with the live nude girls
- chocolate
- more breaks for the crazy orgies.
- not having to you know… do stuff
I’m just spitballing here. There may be others and better ones.
herds of kittens and puppies frolicking around, kissing each other on the nose?
good one… but now the hard part what to delete to make room? or do we just take the list to 11?
i would get rid of the less depressing looking cubes. the kittens and puppie will make it so you’d hardly notice.
also, i just finished reading this book called “blink” by malcolm gladwell that i think you might like. you should check it out.
I dunno. I find cubicles pretty damn depressing. I mean, the puppies and kittens might make me smile for a while but inevitably I will turn around and see the cold orange walls of my cube and be depressed again, at least until the live nude girls next bring over some chocolate and jack.
Cover your wall with pictures/posters. Completely.
Seriously.
yeah, I really should decorate my cube a little better. I’m moving cubes tomorrow or monday though, so not quite yet. The thing is, I really can’t get too crazy or people might complain about it not being business appropriate enough. Its a pretty conservative place. Not fascist by any means, but its not as free form as say things were when I was at maya or cmu.
oh, and the book I have heard of but not read. It sounds interesting. Should I borrow it from you?
My workdays go pretty fast, and really the only thing on your list that I’ve got is the absence of cubes. It helps to be allowed to say things like “you’re ugly” to your subordinates and get laughs instead of slaps.
I might try that, if I had subordinates.
Say it anyway and see what happens.
I don’t know what it is… but something about that just seems like its a bad idea.
