    Almost like buying a robotic arm to move my coffee cup to the other side of the keyboard when I have to put a magazine or book on the table. #awe

    I suppose the marketing department recommended the name change. The original name, Absurdly Wasteful Engineering, probably wouldn't sell very well. Of course, showing the product doesn't help matters much, either, I'm sure. #awe

    Best hazing ever. The only way to make it better is with a TV Guide for the week of November 2, 1985, a half-used can of Aqua-Net and a pack of Bubblicious in the top drawer.

    Hahaha. Oh wow! As the acting deputy manager for human resources, I can tell you that cubicles like this are what separates our company from all the other faceless high tech companies. You've really made the right choice here. This inoffensively lame prank is specifically designed (by committee) to not offend anyone regardless of cultural origin, and our design team promises that by mocking the past we will both date our employees, enforcing their age, and make our workers feel like they're still young and hip enough to engage in "shenanigans" (yes, I'm specifically referencing that youtube clip. Yes, my assistant did explain to me that it would make me relevant again).

    But let's be honest, would any other high tech company out there so brazenly make fun of the eighties? How cool are we?! We deliberately foster this atmosphere of cool! We hire kids studying "graffiti arts" in a private school in the suburbs to come in and paint a specific, specially designed "mural wall" on the outside of our building. Our cafeteria is stocked with "orangina" and every day we have a different ethnic food. Our employee base is accurately diversified to reflect the ethnic heritage of America, although to be sure, we recruited them all from top league schools.... It's great to have a mexican on board, but let's be clear about this... a Stanford mexican.

    Well okay folks we've been enjoying this "shenanigans" time for about 12 minutes now, which is 2 minutes more than I had allotted for it this morning. So let's all get back to work. And remember how totally unique our high tech company is. This 80s cubicle is nothing like the 80s cubicle at Apple and Microsoft. Theirs has a Voltron figurine in it. We couldn't get one. All right, back to work.

    Oh and dave, you're fired. #oldschoolcubicle

    I love the Hang in There poster and the picture from the Maxell commerical. So 80s...
