Did it once for 3 months and hated it. Sitting all day was absolutely the most tiring and boring experience. Thank God 15 people got laid off and I was one of them
My passion is driving out in the country and burbs, seeing patients in their homes and delivering flowers on the weekend. Getting paid to be happy.
Fresh air, sunshine, autumn leaves, even snow beats imprisonment in a cubicle.
why was it boring? you didn't have work to do? I'm sure they were not paying you to sit there and do nothing all day.
If I'm gonna work in an office I'd prefer a cubicle but not too small. I did in fact work in accounting for 20 years and at
age 63 I retired early one reason was I couldn't stand that boxed up feeling for 8 hours! I liked the work but just felt so boxed in.
When I was in an office (never had just a cubicle) I did not get antsy but I had to get up to walk to others offices often. However, now that I work at home I get incredibly antsy as I don't get up to go talk to anyone, I can only email or call, and I notice chores around the house that need to be done.
I start feeling antsy being "locked" up in a cubicle all day. Starting next Monday I will be working 9 hours and I can't take being stuck in a box. I guess office work is not for me. I feel like an animal in its pen. The person who invented cubicles needs to be slapped. LOL I feel like when lunch time comes around the gates open to let me out, then come back and the "gates" close until my next break then closes again until it is time to go home. I am just becoming so inpatient can't stand going to work but I have to.
Does anyone out there feel the same?
I am raising my hand. This was me. I used to get up often because I got the same antsy feeling quite frequently. Daily... no hourly in fact.
I utterly and abhorrently despise cubicles up to the tiniest sub atomic particle in my body. In fact, if you believe in the other worlds theory, and if you could somehow find every infinite perturbation and combination of me in other dimensions, you would find every last one of them despising cubicles just the same. That's how much I hate them. By the way, I remember reading somewhere that the original designer of the cubicle intended them to be fashionable furniture and not a method to efficiently cram more sardines into a can. I think 'abomination' is the word he used to describe how they are utilized in modern times.
I took a substantial pay cut to work at a place where I have an office. I need personal space. My blood pressure dropped to completely healthy levels (for real) and I feel a lot more relaxed now that I am no longer just another fish in a sea of misery.
I work in a cubicle and it makes me incredibly depressed. That's why I'm breaking out and going to trade school. I start in a month. I'd rather do back breaking work any day. This is my first cubicle job and I lasted 9 months. That's long enough for me! I knew I wouldn't make it but gave it a chance because it was what my family needed at the time.

Paperwork and sitting in front of a computer--not matter how busy it makes you--will always always be boring to me. Why did this person have to be sitting around doing nothing to be bored? Did it occur to you that some people prefer physical work over desk work? I love working with my hands and seeing the work that I do. Clicking buttons on a computer is so far off from that and it makes me absolutely nuts.

Don't say you were bored just say it wasn't your type of work because it's hard to be bored when you have a lot to do.
