(Photo by Arnold Chao) Trapped in cubicle hell, we're always looking for new ways to spice up our space. We try to think outside the sequestered box -- personalizing our square surroundings in hopes of luring neighbors in for a quick hello. Being avid collectors, we adorn our open office with the most bizarre figurines and childhood trinkets. Holiday devotees, as well, we bust out our cherished decorations with glee, every chance we get. In our time in the cubicle trenches, we've seen it all. Relentless lunatics that convert cubes into art installations and frugal cube crafters inspired by a readily available surplus of office supplies. But, beware! Every office has it pranksters and every cubicle is fair game for the practical joker, so we keep an eye out for sneaks with props: packing peanuts, newspaper, tin foil, and the like. And, yes, even the most vigilant cubicle drone may be surprised with a little gift after returning from vacation. Suggested Sites...
