Of course you’re supposed to wish Jim well on his new promotion – even though you worked hard for it and you believe Jim is a slacker. We become more emotionally sensitive, and find ourselves battling the green-eyed monster in our cubicle. Remarks – even joking comments – are taken personally and negatively.

Chances are that if you share something personal with your mom on the phone or your bestie in the next cubicle, others will overhear. Of course it's cute that your daughter had her first date, but you must be a lousy parent if the kid came home drunk with a loser boyfriend, your colleagues (and boss) may be thinking.

Question: “I am an administrative assistant at a very large company and my cubicle is right outside the door of one of the directors. Of course, the non-direct way (if you are not comfortable talking about it) is to just accept it, realize it is not directed at you, and don’t let it bother you.

And of course, theres the dreaded shredding of confidential documents. You keep printing document after document, not realizing how many trees you are using and how much waste you are creating. Think ahead and see if you can e-mail or transfer your documents in an electronic format to others. This will save your company time and money.

You might be a cubicle dweller and you might be the only occupant in that 5×5 cube. It’s not good to be a lone wolf in a cubicle farm. Of course, the latter is not necessarily true. Cubicle drive-by is considered intrusive. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. - A Proverb Quote.

I worked as an Investment Advisor’s Assistant, completed my CSC (Canadian Securities Course), but soon after, I realized that this wasn’t really for me. We strive for an “open door” policy, but of course, there are times when the managers hold meetings or make phone calls and have their door closed.

If you are on a training course via your computer (WebEx) and listening in to the presenter, you want your full attention on the seminar or workshop that you are attending at your cubicle. The easiest way to avoid this is to create a "Do Not Disturb" sign and place it somewhere on your cubicle that can be seen clearly.

And of course, there’s the opposite side of the spectrum, where you have way too many people coming to you with requests (read my post on how to handle this here) and just want to run away. But of course, you don’t want to disturb others around you with the bell going off or some even have chickens clucking as the alarm.

Of course, not everyone believes this. For this reason, an office with cubicles can sometimes present problems. It’s not all financial, of course. It is believed by those who practice it that it can bring happiness, prosperity, wealth, and health to a person who follows it. There are many different opinions on the subject.

The workplace is a grim place these days, as worker drones labor long hours in their cubicles with the boss stopping by every once in a while to bark a new order. Of course, her first reaction is to glance at me in suspicion as she rings up my Gummie worms and cauliflower (both high-fiber foods in my house).

Maybe you’d prefer it if your cubicle mate didn’t chomp on celery sticks all day. There will, of course, be times when adapting just doesn’t work and you’ll have to address a situation or a person head on. Practically speaking, that means adapting to the little quirks of humans. Is that really such a big deal though?

Of course, we all know that texting is as common to young workers as breathing -- but others see it as rude. Don't stop by a co-worker's cubicle and sweep papers off a chair so you can plop your butt down and dig in for a nice long chat. Still, young workers aren't the only ones who are exhibiting rude behavior in the workplace.

I was at a course recently for new supervisors and they recommended smiling on the phone. Of course, my boss interrupts me constantly throughout the day, but then again he is my boss and I am there to assist him. It is hard to smile without it changing your outlook and reaching others, even over the phone.

Money, of course, is important, but what about the customer? Do you feel that you could be helping the client even if you dont know the answer to their issue right away? This happens so often within large corporations, since most of them care only about the bottom line - money! Keep in mind that they are the ones that are paying your salary.

Of course I said I was sorry, but she really should have gotten up to let me out. By invading each other's cubicle space or walking into an office without knocking. I was on the inside seat, closest to the window, and instead of getting up to let me by, she just moved over a bit. The bus jerked and stomp, I stepped on her toes.

This, of course, can be a nightmare, since you could be walking up many flights. You start to notice a particular smell, yet you know it wasn’t you, but you wonder if everyone thinks that it was. This happens to everyone from time to time and there are ways to avoid them (at times). The simplest way to avoid this is to take the stairs.

If you share a cubicle wall, inquire about switching desk locations. Of course, if you find yourself surrounded by annoying people, take a moment to reflect. Separate Yourself. If you just can’t handle it, remove yourself from this person’s presence as much as possible. If they eat lunch in the break room, take yours outside.
