Is it a coincidence that my first sighting of Purl Gurl for months
coincides with Google Groups' interface redesign? Probably, but it's
healthy to be a tad paranoid these days. And yes, I know that GG is an
inferior method of consuming Usenet - it's just that our corporate
strategy doesn't allow subscription to newsgroups, and after 7.5 hours
of staring at a screen when pretending to work, the last thing I want
to do upon my return home is more HCI.

Will.

I rather enjoy Hilarious Clever Inanity.

“My Cubicle”
Lyrics by: Morning Sidekick
Performed by: Jym Britton
Parody on “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt

My job is stupid my day’s a bore,
Inside this office from eight to four
Nothin’ ever happens my life is pretty bland,
Pretending that I’m working, pray I don’t get canned.

My Cubicle, My cubicle
It’s One of Sixty two
It’s my small space in a crowded place
Just a six-by-six foot booth
And I hate it that’s the truth

Well, I give a sigh as the boss walks by,
no one ever talks to me or looks me in the eye.
And I really should work but instead I just sit here and surf the Internet.

In My Cubicle, My cubicle
It doesn’t have a view.
It’s my small space in a crowded place
I sit in solitude.
And sometimes I sit here nude.
