I find it weird that there's always a Too Many Toys in His [it's always His] Cube person in every tech office

Man a couple years ago they hired this product manager. He had a cube across from mine. The first day, it was empty. Then, it slowly started to fill up with stupid toys. I thought, "Oh, hey, he's got some kind of idiotic toy box subscription thing." But they just kept coming at an incredible rate. From odd size rubiks cubes to fidget spinners and figurines and gigantic fake plastic christmas lights covering every square inch of the cubicle, which was not small. Just packed with plastic trash.

And then abruptly one day 3 months in he just disappeared and never returned. And all of the stuff vanished.

I stole his monitors. I think of him sometimes.

i keep a morse code practice key I bought while at a ham fest then cleaned up and replaced the existing 9v barrel connector with a larger one. no loving idea what type of connector it was as it did not fit anything I could find that was also 9v. it makes good analog beps

p sure it is the original model of this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAHNA10/

I'm pretty sure he means home office. Cubes have been generally phased out in favor of standing desks and headphones.

we have cubicles where i work. and, get this, when we renovate our locations, we install new cubicles! #wow #whoa

also as of Monday my old laptop in pieces, the hinges snapped and took out the screen cable. everything else should work, so the plan is to make a little backplane out of sheet metal or plastic to mount everything to, then bolt that to the back of a monitor to resurrect it as a functioning all in one pc. hopefully i don’t static anything to death in the process.
