Cube Comforts

By Marty Nemko

How to make cubicle life more livable for you and your cube neighbors?

• Decorate: Plants, pictures, posters, fish, whatever will put your individual mark on it.
• Consider: Everyone within a three-cube radius will hear your conversations, even hear whatever smells may emanate.
• Insulate: When you don't want to be interrupted by your co-workers, put a do-not-disturb sign in front of your cube.
• Of course, nothing can make a cube feel like the corner office, so see if you can get your boss to allocate one private office for cube denizens to use when needing some peace and quiet.
