"...the average office space per worker in the United States dropped from 250 square feet in 2000 to 190 square feet in 2005."

Wow, two-hundred and fifty square feet on average!

I can feel my ego shriveling as I twist in my chair, taking in a panoramic view of my allocated 7 x 7.



7x7? What luxury! Here in 8x6 land, we can't even dream of what we could put in that extra square foot.


"What size cells are these? Eight by eight? Ours are nine by nine... no big deal."

(pin the quote on the movie)

Heh. Cells. Cubes. Same diff.


Those numbers aren't for cubicle size, they are for (the whole office) / (# of employees). So don't feel too bad about your 7 x 7, as long as you have a nice bathroom, canteen, etc.


"as long as you have a nice bathroom, canteen, etc."

Screwed.


My cubicle is 'en-suite'.

Oh wait! It's not?!?!?


I like how sometimes fancy words are used to describe not so fancy things.


I assume the average includes corridors, common areas et cetera.
