Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 26, 2010

Just like any other workplace, really

Good one….been there, done that.

Hey that place is nicer than my place. Where do I apply?

And the cubical is invented

Just send me to the torture chamber.

An open window with fresh air coming in… now there’s a benifit package.

…not to be confused with benefits.

and THAT, boys and girls, is why I chucked the loan business and started framing houses lo, those many years ago!!!!!!

A good place to go “prairie dogging”.

Whoever did come up with the cubicle layout anyways? That person should be shot…

the guy with the mask sure looks familiar, Oh, yeah, that’s my boss!!

Where’s the rack-reation room?

Tanya he should be severely tortured first!!

What is this “employment” thing of which you speak?

Hahahaha…. geazer I’d like to know the same thing!!

Diabolical .

wow. This is so where I came in today.

Where can I buy “stocks” and “bondage” in this company?

This is why I am willing to take a pay cut rather than work in an office!

Yes, those who are able to draw well are free to write their own ticket, doing something they truly enjoy and getting paid for it.

Robert Crumb is a shining example.

And Wiley obviously.

That looks like the slaves work on scripting the long roll papers in old time.

paperwork, paperwork, all ways and forever!

Poor guys….at least we had piped in “drums” in my day.

Thanks Wiley. Always wondered whose idea cubicles were. Full employment too, wow!

What’s this? Only one person per cube? Around here we refer to that luxury as “the good old days!”

The more things change…

Trivia note - the cubicle was designed and sold by Westinghouse. Sold well in the company, but not well enough. They sold the business to another furniture org and it took off making money.

And what day is it there? Monday, always Monday.

Great one- never really pictured it that way, Wiley. @A_Noonan - yes I seldom had a window either. I used to have my wallpaper be a photo of my own garden. Now since my layoff (some 5 years ago) I just freelance, but I can get up and see my garden anytime. I’m going out there to read right now.

Thanks, openminded! Now I’m about to watch TMZ because 1/2 hour is just enough celebrity gossip.

While looking at today’s Non Sequitur just now, I was directed to a website clickarrows.com that I am venturing is viral. Hopefully this site is monitored to address this issue. The browser I was using was set not to accept cookies, but I forced quit the browser application to be safer.

This reminds me of EVERY office I have ever worked in. I wish we had an oversear beating us. At least that would beat the shear drudgery of it all.
