I got a gift from the office cubical Gods today…..

Scene Setup:
I work in an office and we use “cubicles”. The design of them is pretty nice with windows and built in desks and cabinets. They are grouped together in sets of four, so four of us share this common little area. I was the only male in my group. The other three are women and work in the accounts receivables department. They are all as old as or older than I am. They wear stretch pants and big sweaters. They ***** and complain about everything. I manage our company’s construction and renovations to our buildings and this takes me out of the office about 75% of the time. I have nothing in common with these women.

The gift:
Today the three women were moved to the other side of the office. In their place now sit Tiffany, Brittney and Jennifer. They wear tight clothes and high heels. I think their combined ages are less than one of the other women. I’ve received three emails from other guys in the office asking how I arranged this. I swear I had nothing to do with it. They are young, fresh, hardworking and oh so naïve to the office politics and environment. I’ll be spending more time in the office from now on.

Right now I could care less if we attack Syria or not. I’m a happy guy.

Taking pictures will be a problem but maybe I can use my iPad and take a picture without them knowing. Of course I could get caught and fired too. OK, no pics for now.

Turn the volume on your phone all of the way down so it doesn't make the shutter sound. then you can sneak some pics.

Seriously, I'm an engineer in a cubicle surrounded by other cubicles filled with other engineers.

The occasional good-looking woman around here is a sight to cherish.

URY914, you won the frikkin' lottery. Enjoy it while you have it!

"good-looking woman" and "engineers in cubicles."

The image I'm seeing is prairie dogs emerging from their burrows and doing that look-out pose.

As long as you get a signed model's release, you're golden. Or so I've heard on PPOT.
