Ask Dr. Ding

Dr. Ding is very fortunate in that she has never been forced to work within the soul-disintegrating confines of a modern-day office cubicle. She once did have a TV tray as a desk, but that’s a story for another day. I’d like to think that if I were suddenly forced to become, say, the purchasing manager for some heavy industry and forced to toil for long hours in an otherwise dingy and gunmetal grey cubicle, that eventually it would look just like the Zen Office above.

I like the Nap Cubicle the next-best, simply because it has that oh so handy under-desk space for a nap. Dr. Ding once worked at a facility where she would become so enervated from the administrative shenanigans and histrionic goings-on that she would often take 40 minutes of her lunch hour and fall into a deep sleep on her office floor. With no pillow. Naked.

Okay, well maybe not actually naked, but certainly feeling quite bereft of all psychological and metaphysical armour. Kinda like a scalded dog who should have run far, far away. But I digress.
