Cubicle Blues (Volume I)

May 11th, 2005 Posted in 2005

For three years I worked for a large staffing firm as a proposal writer. And for three years I wrote about it on a yahoo group my college friends and I kept in touch through.

Over the years, the yahoo group grew and grew — it’s currently at something like 12,750 posts and growing.

So this is by no means comprehensive. But here’s a small selection of the many anecdotes I told while working for my ridiculously incompetent company, from around September 2000 till September 2002.
