I don't even get a cube. All I get is a bench against an exterior wall with no insulation and I know when the wind blows and how cold it is outside.




My woot monkeys and woot lights actually serve a purpose - they provide insulation and a heat source.

Not too sad, but cluttered. Sharp eyes will find the Woot Off lights, and Procrastination U tote from shirt.woot.

The unseen sad part is that this floor has awe-inspiring views of Puget Sound and the Cascade and Olympic mountains. I get a grey cube.

If you look REALLY close you'll find the TARDIS, Yoda, the Linux Kernel Map, the OSI model, a DTMF dialer, and an old copy of Hacking Exposed.

It's only a little sad I guess. Crammed into the corner working from home... at least I have a window

My view for 8 hours a day-

Spray bottle to keep the kitty down?

Where dreams come to die...

This is where life ends and work begins...

I was totally going to enter this contest, but after seeing these pictures, my cubicle is nowhere near as sad as I have always thought it to be. Thank you for making my day seem brighter. Good luck to all of you!

I think I'm gonna win



This is literally my cube, it's been this way for 6 months. yep.

It's not much to look at... Right?

You know it! Well, more so to break up the kitty fights between new cat and old cat. They can get a little scary sometimes.

These desks are dreadful! Makes my plain jane desk & office look amazing!

most of us work on folding tables but I managed to grab a home-built table! Please note the wasp spray, I have had to use it inside by my desk before.

This is pretty sad.....

I'm in a temporary cube, because my regular office is under assault. This pic is of what should be the back wall of my office, as seen from the hallway behind the office. The powers that be decided that would be a dandy place to retrofit an elevator. When the work is done, my desk will be inches from the new elevator shaft.

You should go ahead and enter! It's a random drawing; they're not actually going to pick the saddest cube -- that would require way too much work.

My office was the mail room. I share it with another IT geek. About 30 sqft a person should do it......

Yes, it was an attempt at "light hearted humor" from a company that wanted to sell us a server to block spam. they sent a pouch of spam through the mail.... i took it home and grilled it..

I am actually jealous of all these other cubes. You have...things in them.

The boss is rarely here, he works mostly out of his home where his wife is sick. He gave away the fridge and microwave to his grandson because "nobody uses them anymore" even though I did, but he didn't care. So that is my lunch sitting on my desk. My office chair is broken, but it is still better than any other chair here. I dont have a drawer to hide any of my stuff, but its ok, I'm the janitor around here. I don't know what is sadder my cube or this whole place.

For that story, you win in my book.

While my "cube" doesn't have four walls, you can still see from the photo that my job has driven me to drinking! Not to mention the utter chaos and lack of cohesion!

Hey, I have that speaker! It was the second thing I ever bought from woot (those were the days of fun stuff offered during woot-offs) http://www.woot.com/offers/usb-stuff-sep-24

Not only can we not leave anything here, but we are required to clean our cube before and after with disinfecting wipes. Please, help me decorate my cube, it is so plain that it hurts!!!!

That's a mighty fine "space heater" right next to your cube! 20k?

Here's my sad excuse for an office cubical. It needs something to spice it up! Did have some Woot lights once but they broke. =(

Also please ignore the have you seen them prank bulletin board sign. I haven't had a chance to go hang it up and figured it would be a good way to block out speed dial phone numbers.

It is a standard 6' x 6' layout made of generic Hayworth partitions and desktops. I have my laptop in a docking station with a second monitor beside it. In the corner is my classified machine with dual 25" monitors that are completely plain except for the bright red security stickers on them. To the right of that is my 'desk' which contains a tissue box and a note cube. There is a corporate fiscal calendar on my wall and a guest chair under my whiteboard (which is completely blank every night when I leave). I desperately need wootcrap to jazz this up as long as there are no recording or data devices involved.

Ah, the good ol' dungeons. Bleak, drab, and no outside light as that might allow some cheer to seep in (or a window washer to look in). And yet I bet the garbage is emtied and cubes cleaned by minimum wage cleaning contractors who don't speak english...

Some of you have some seriously bleak workspaces, others, however, don't even know the meaning of the word! I even see some OFFICES in there.

(We've done our best to make sure there's no identifiable information in there, but if you see something that should be removed, please let me know via PM!)

Just waiting for someome to post in image with a post-it on their monitor with their logon information...it will come... :-)
