Confessions from a... paint can?

Indeed, it is quite the adventure working at a start up company. My cubicle has been abandoned. Yes, abandoned. I have been outcast to every nook and cranny of the greater Cincinnati area and it has turned out to be quite the wild ride. Monday I worked at a coffee shop in Mason, Tuesday I worked in the corner of a quaint Mexican restaurant, Wednesday we found WiFi at Penera Bread, and both Thursday and Friday I worked in the sanctity of my own home.

Being a rouge drifter has its perks. The constant change up always keeps things fresh, and you get the privilege of coming up with clever excuses to explain to your conference call attendees why their is a mariachi band playing in the back ground ("Oh, that music? That's just the office next door.").

The photo featured above is an iphone snap shot of me working in an unfinished office. My legs (off screen) are resting on a paint can, and you see the windows and door lying on the floor behind me. You have to be creative, flexible, and above all, positive to be a drifter like me. You start to appreciate the little things, like electric outlets, and public restrooms. But above all, the spontenaity keeps you light on your feet and ready for battle. Multi-tasking has a whole new meaning, and I confess from my (not-so-cubicle-like) cubicle, that I am enjoying my life on the road.

Stay tuned for next weeks adventures... they are certainly bound to be grand.

My selection of cubicle views

I've received an overwhelming response from Confessions from a Cubicle lovers eager to show off their own cubicle views. I must admit, I was a little surprised to see that the world of cubicles is much more diverse than I have ever known. Some people have beautiful cityscape views, other cubicle dwellers can almost see a window, and still others get creative with what they've got. It turns out the world isn't three blank burlap walls and a windowless hole afteral.

I have selected three of my favorite views to share with the world and am excited for the next round to come pouring in.

DING! DING! DING! This view takes the cake. It seems that sharing the cubicle maze with your fellow co-workers comes with a few perks. This view can't be real. It seems like it might be more of a distraction than anything else.

My guess is that the person sitting in this city scape perch might look out their window and ponder the happenings of the world below, rather than staying focused on their task at hand. This view can't be all its cracked up to be.



This next cubicle view is something of a tease. My keen eye can spot that almost-perfect view in the distance complete with sunshine and a gorgeous white oak or two. It looks like this cubicle dweller got jipped out of the window seat on the plane. At least there is room for a good brain storm session on the plush couches and vision boards that line wall.






My final selection came from a friend is San Fransisco. It seems with a little creativity his feelings for his cubicle home added to the chi of this glowing cube. It doesn't look like he wins the killer view contest, but I give him props for effort.
