My company gave me a cube, sort of. I’m in a ‘cube share’ arrangement. Field consultants like myself have long lost exclusive cubicle privileges on the mother ship. I got a nice big open cubicle with my name on it that I share it with another guy. His name is also on the cube. Neither of us ‘cube’ much since we’re on the road most of the time .

When there are company events in the office, we both race to work. Inevitably, one of us (the one on the later train) must run off to squat in someone else’s empty cube, disrupting other ‘cube share’ arrangements.
