Cubism is not all about Pablo picasso,but more.
I googled instantly about how this generation has gone friendly with the cubicles they sit all day in. As time spent in cubes is not always fun. There are horror stories too. Cubicles are now becoming a world in its own, a saga of someone’s witty emoti-cons, still to be explored, which holds attachments,drama, excitement.
Let me tell you a secret, that i love my cube very much and i don’t feel bad on people coming to me and explicitly explaining how their cubical looks better than mine. Its again a love of some kind. But when it comes to a serious dose of work for about 8 hrs a day, you get better chances to stick in to your world, unless your boss call in you for every 15 mins to see whats happening outside his world. Bosses are made that way, they really don’t like you sitting with a smiling face & a cuppa-coffee in hands.
I have seen people hanging a lot of weird things in there to make you feel better. Crazy little toys, make you feel home & comfortable. Thoughts to motivate, but most of the times when its a considerable ‘bad-time‘ , people take lot more out of it , which usually hints over the pain-in-the-ass boss. You think of questioning the integrity of existence of what you took as a source of inspiration some time. So you learn to fool around bosses and your counterparts sitting next to you or may be when you find them standing right behind you staring over your angel-ring to see how good you are working, you pretend as life cannot be more bizarre than this.
You will find a long list of “Top 10 things to kill time in office ” or something similar which gets you going and the fun package gets complete when you are served with a free internet line to try those things out.
A recent study by Harvard School claims that 50 % of employees in US spends more than 40 % of the time browsing and window shopping. They cant just get control over it.
So its a strange world where you really learn a lot of things for you besides looking for ‘ Root causes to make your business run better ‘.
