Someone who actually likes their cubicle
Comments (20) I have a cubicle at my new office. It has a u-shaped work surface, tackable privacy panels, a lockable wardrobe, 2 pedestals, and filing cabinet.
I love it.
At my old office, we had an open work area – just long rows of desks. No dividers. No privacy. I didn’t mind it, but having a cubicle is a pretty big change for me, so I am using that as justification to write about how much I like it now.
I am all about personalization. I don’t want to go overboard, but I want to have a bit of personality in my workstation. At my old office, I was the only person who had photos on my desk (a digital photo frame). It wasn’t prohibited – I just think the open desks didn’t particularly lend themselves to that sort of… clutter.
Now, I have my digital photo frame out, a few photos on magnets, and some cute desk organizers. That’s it. It’s fun and simple and makes my desk feel more personal. And my workstation is big enough that I have space for these things.
I enjoy seeing what other people have in their cubicles – sports paraphernalia, family photos, architectural photos, fun magnets, holiday decorations, and so on. It’s a good way to start a conversation, and I think it livens up the space a bit.
Do you have anything personal on your desk at work? Or do you think it just lends itself to being clutter and a distraction?
