The Office Cubicles Speak!

by Hansika Bhardwaj  -   August 17, 2023

Hello office dwellers,

Who in the world would have thought that I'd be the voice? Someone, well-known for causing lethargy, gloom, and discomfort. Like your little world, I'm a small box. Oh no, a wall smothering people’s conversation, where productivity takes a nosedive. Yes, I'm talking about me; a tiny, cramped office cubicle you all know and love (or hate). Like a little world of its own, complete with its own set of rules and quirks.

I'm not here to make any impression, but to share my heart with people who find a professional home in me.

Three-walled eyes, carrying a table-looking wooden neck with slouched posture like an old man. Despite my immortal nature, whenever my tenants require lumbar support, they depend upon me but still end up causing chair wars. Being me is not easy. Besides, let me show you the issues faced by my cubicle dwellers.

  1. Lack of privacy

Well, I know cubicles do not offer extravagant views, like a sea-facing flat in Bombay (pun intended). It is a hub, where your voice amplifies, every time you are on call or sharing a conversation with a coworker next to you. Yes, I don't offer soundproof walls, but at least private time, which allows you to focus on your tasks, cutting off unnecessary distractions.

  1. Battling with Space

My inhabitants treat me like real estate, considering themselves as the overworked landlords. It seems they struggle to adjust everything in one space, just like crying for storage in your phone. Alas, these dwellers end up squeezing their office essentials in a manner that is no less than solving a puzzle. While doing so, they ask questions such as -

  • Will the stapler fit in this coffee mug?
  • Will my diaries fit comfortably in a reluctant drawer?

However, before they think of this, the inhabitants fight a mini battle without realizing the cubicle is a boon. Instead of dread, you may adorn, or personify me instead of cramming things or finding them in a dire state. 

  1. The Eau-De-office scent

No, that's not French, just like Signature perfume that you're smelling in these office cubicles. Now, how do I even begin to boast?

From the lingering scent of a dish to the cologne worn by the coworker, as if it were an advertisement, my cubicle has a different aroma.

Yeah, it is the same as trying to hold your breath and spraying the air freshener.

However, you have an opportunity to put the scented candles and keep me happy & breathable just with your office must-haves.

  1. Chair Wars

Well, in the realms of office spaces, the biggest battleground is the chairs, on which the dwellers wish to rest. Everyone craves for the comfiest chair offering lumbar support and can traverse the lengths and breadth of the office, hunting for just one chair that suits their needs.

These thieves can easily snatch away their neighbours’ seats anytime they are away from their abode. A mini battle for the throne; and when you are a competitive ruler.

Yes, I see it all. I am an unsung Spy in the Office.

So there you have it, a humorous take on the problems faced by office cubicle dwellers. Despite all the challenges, we cannot deny that these little boxes have become an integral part of the modern workplace. So embrace the absurdity, laugh at the chaos, and remember that even in the most mundane of environments, humour can be found.

So, my fellow small box inhabitants, let's embrace our little worlds with a sense of humor. Let's find joy in the chaos and make the most of our confined spaces. After all, who needs a corner office with a view when you can have a front-row seat to the daily circus that is cubicle life?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my little world. I'll be here, typing away in my tiny box, dreaming of the day when I can break free from these four walls and join the ranks of the open-plan office warriors. Until then, I'll keep finding humour in the absurdity and making the most of my cubicle adventures. Cheers to the small boxes that make the big world go round.
