My anti-sad cube!

Ok got the following error when trying to send my entry in plain text through Gmail:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain woot.com by corpmail.woot.com. [209.12.104.157].

The error that the other server returned was:

So I sent it through my office e-mail and got:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:

I just attempted it using Gmail and didn't have any delivery issues.

Please repost if you're still encountering this issue.

Sent it twice more and got the same error:

You can submit your entry without attachments if that is the cause.

(Edit: We're also reporting this to our tech dudes for further investigation. Hang in there!)

No image, just some text. Thanks for the help!

there's a luck dragon in there, too!

Aw, I could've won this thing hands down at my old job. I didn't even get walls. I just sat in a soul-sucking room with my desk pushed up against another desk and two more desks on the other side. And no one ever talked to me. And they could see whenever I was checking my email. And our one window faced a brick wall, and at 4:35 every day the sun hit me right in the eye.

It was awful, I probably needed therapy more than a prize.

I used to have a cubicle, but they made me retire. And I never took a picture of it. This is the first time I ever wished that I had.

I guess mental pictures are not eligible for entry? I could STILL walk it with my eyes shut, and find everything.

My desk is older, but still functional... although I am considering an LCD.
I've always been an Acer fan.

12 hour night shifts. I get bored. A lot D:

Yes that is a "Tips" cup... It only had foreign pennies and various small metal objects co-workers would drop in.

I work third shift so boredom is not an option!

Personally, I think windows is an automatic disqualification... If you can see anything outside your 10*10 area, you're doing better than me. :-)

I work from home now, but back in my cubical days I was lucky in that my cube faced the window. But, I was also right next to a network printer, so it was rather noisy.

I'm jealous of all of the double-monitors I'm seeing. I want one of those!

Now THIS is a contest I KNOW I can win.

My coworker John has the saddest cube – it is not even a cube. His “desk” is a mix of parts scrounged from other offices leaving the building and dumpster diving. Even a Fed Ex box helps hold up part of it.

While the company will not move a desk to this space, at least he can sit with us as a team and share in our misery.

I am also jealous of all the double monitors. I would love to at least have a wide screen monitor! all my crap just doesn't fit on one little screen

my cubicle is pretty boring, but I do have a watercolor of a zebra, and my desktop background is ponies in sweaters.

I don't even have a standard cubicle. We couldn't afford new ones and I had to build my own. Stuck down in the basement of our building, I work at both my designated job and also: replacing light fixtures/bulbs, pest control, server maintenance, and general cleaning. My 'cubicle' is sad because I have tools and various hardware thrown on it by anyone who needs work done and, since there is no real designated area for putting items, sticky notes and files tossed onto it and also pinned/taped/stapled/sometimes-nailed to the wall.

Could really use that stress relief cupcake...

my poor cubicle, it just needs more clutter... or cowbell.

What if you don't have a sad cubicle?

Some of us have happy cubes with Play-Doh and octopodes and cowbells and clown noses and bobbleheads and whatever other bits and bobs catch our fancy.

I used to work in a single tiny room with four other people, all crammed in. The best part was the sewer pipe from the second floor ran down through one corner of the room, so every time someone upstairs would flush the toilet we could hear it rushing down. It was almost soothing, like one of those feng shui fountains.

I believe that IS SPAM in a pouch. Now, if we could only get BACON in a pouch.

How about bacon in a can? 10-year shelf life, too.

42 year old drafty building, 20 year old desk, 10 year old chair, 7 year old computer, working with family = 10 hours of daily fun. Help woot

thanks.. it took some work.

I emailed yesterday and today and still it is not showing up on here, do I need to post it through this forum instead of email?

This is one of my desks. The other one is in another building. I don't put anything cool on this desk because I don't trust students to leave my desk alone!

I think if you want to show off here (which is not the same as entering) you will have to host your pics somewhere and post them here.
