Finally had a chance to read the article as I sit in my
maybe not so square cubicle but a confined boring space.
Life is what you make it so take your talent and strive
to find what truly makes you happy. It is over in a blink
and being able to do what you enjoy makes the journey
a lot happier.
Happy Holidays….Hello to Mark….

Not sure I agree with the title to your short story; however I was entertained by the content and humor of "The Confined Cubicle". This would make for a great short comedy or humorist speech. Good job Samantha...now get back to work.<br /> Robert<br /> Samantha,

Although I never worked in a cubicle I did work at jobs that didn't fit me, so I know how soul-killing that can be. My only offer of solace is to stick it out -- some day you'll have accumulated enough knowledge/experience/expertise or money to move on to something more stimulating, and eventually to writing for a living. Or maybe Mark will become disgustingly rich and you can leave the cubicle world early!<br /> <br /> By the way, Ron and I are coming to Portland for the Christmas holiday to visit with his 2 sons (one lives in Seattle) and daughter-in-law); if you and Mark are around I'd love to meet you.<br /> <br /> ciao, tru<br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Samantha, Your essay made me sad for you!

By the way, Ron and I are coming to Portland for the Christmas holiday to visit with his 2 sons (one lives in Seattle) and daughter-in-law); if you and Mark are around I’d love to meet you.

ciao, tru

I'm glad I taught high school kids, even if they occassionally drove me crazy. Thanks for this fun, insightful glimpse of what many people face each day at work.

I was trying to stiffle my out-loud chuckles. I read this (sneakily while at work) while in my drab colored cube that I’ve tried to brighten up (with a stuffed Green Grinch).
