1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960 I want to talk about cube life today. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,200 I want to talk about what's in your cube, what not to do in 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,119 your cube, what to do in your cube. 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,200 Not to do in your cube. How many times I can say cube in 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:25,440 one sentence? Square Times 3 corporate crash 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,880 out. Will you cash in or crash out? 7 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,520 OK, do you know like what the difference between have you ever 8 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,920 hot desked? Yeah. 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,960 And everybody, when I said that at my current work, they were 10 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,760 like, what the fuck are you talking about? 11 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,200 And they're like, oh, yeah, we call it Hotelling. 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,440 But yeah, I have. And it sucks and I kind of hate 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,000 it. And I never know where I'm going 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,600 to sit. And then how my old work was is 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,560 there was three stories. And so you're supposed to 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,280 usually be able to sit in your spot, but like sometimes you 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,960 can't if you want to come in on an extra day when your team's 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,080 not in. And it was like such a pain. 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,360 But anyways. Yeah, I really have never liked 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,840 Hotelling either. If people don't know Hotelling 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,120 or hot desking is like basically where you like go on. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:22,360 Like usually they have like a an app or a website or be like a 23 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,360 website or like a link on the Internet like like company. 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,040 First come, first serve. Oh, you guys just went and sat 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,040 your ass down and it asked stop. No, I've only ever done it where 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,680 I'll be like OK, so like 2 weeks out all the desks will drop. 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880 It's like trying to book a Bay at top Golf. 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880 You have to like jump on right when they drop and like go pick 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,240 your desk for like you can book for like 2 weeks and you can 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,560 change it every day. Like oh, I want to sit in 120 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,560 this day 120 on the net. Like you can change it based on 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280 that. And I guess the idea was like 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,680 since like auditing cycle, like you work on a job for like 2 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,200 weeks or a week was like you could sit with your team but no 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,800 one ever did that. Everyone would just like jump on 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,680 there and reserve their same desk over and over again or like 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,479 steal people's. It was really awkward. 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,560 It was like weird. It's like when you're an intern, 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,520 you never know. That's like so rough. 40 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,320 Two weeks is so insane. I think we could book like 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,560 rooms, but we can book like the actual physical desks. 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Hot. Desking was just like coming in 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,920 and finding somewhere empty would give me so much anxiety. 44 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,640 Like at least like I know where I'm going if I like book a desk. 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,520 No, it was stressful. And so I would just, yeah, I 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000 mean, if there was space, if there wasn't space, you know, 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480 you're gonna have to go save somebody else. 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,920 At one of the companies I worked at, you could also see like who 49 00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,920 had already booked, so I would go in there and be like, who's 50 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,680 sitting next to me? Like who? 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,120 Or should I move and sit next to so and so? 52 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,160 That's so interesting. So who did you move it for? 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,680 I don't, I don't know, but do you never just like sit some by 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,600 someone and they're annoying? I do all the time, but my 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 previous three internships I've had they have all had me sit in 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,200 a specific spot. They like lump all the interns 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,840 together. Yeah, we used to have that at 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 one of my internships who was like, just like a big table and 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,440 you would like reserve a spot at table. 60 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,120 It was weird. Oh I would hate a table, I'm 61 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,120 sorry. Like you saw like a cube ball, 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120 but like only like to the ends and like it was just in front of 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,840 you and it was weird. That's a really bad. 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960 It was tough. They called it intern row. 65 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,880 That's a crazy thing to. Say, well, they were like, don't 66 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,720 take the cubicles because the associates get them like 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280 basically like you guys have blast dibs on like the cubes in 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760 the office. Well, we couldn't book offices 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,240 because, you know, we were interns. 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,320 But I don't know where I'm going with this, but yeah, like 71 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,440 there's just something like I want to move cubes right now. 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200 I just like don't. I want mine to be facing a 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,920 window. I think I'm kind of like getting 74 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,080 really depressed that mine's not facing the window because I'm in 75 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,680 Virginia for reference right now. 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,360 And it's so pretty. There's so many trees and like, 77 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,560 I don't know, the mountains and stuff. 78 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,320 And so I want to look outside, but I can't. 79 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,800 And then when I do get the opportunity to look outside, 80 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,120 like when we're in a conference room or something, I just stare 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520 outside. And then my like the people in 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,040 the conference room kind of look at me. 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Like, what are you looking at? But I just want to look out 84 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,160 outside of all the trees. I don't think that's such a 85 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,840 crazy ask, but anyways. Yeah, I I definitely understand 86 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,760 that. One time I was in this office 87 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,400 for my very first internship and they arranged so the cubes only 88 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,760 went up so high so you could like, see over the cube in front 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,120 of you. Like it was like they were 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,160 really short and it was like glass. 91 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,600 Sitting you could see over the cube or when you're standing, 92 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,920 because that's a big difference. If I sat up really straight, I 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,160 could, like, peek over, which, you know, that's a lot of 94 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,520 anxiety. I don't want people to see what 95 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,600 I'm doing all day and know that I'm not working. 96 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,600 But they had like, this whole wall of windows, and they turned 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,920 all the cubes to face the wall instead of the windows, like a 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840 blank whiteboard wall. So everyone had their back to 99 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,800 this like huge wall of windows that overlook like trees in a 100 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,000 river. So interesting. 101 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,240 Also, I just thought of this right now, but when you said 102 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,840 like desk stuff, there's this huge cardboard cut out of like a 103 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:40,960 card, like a credit card. And there's a huge cut out 104 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,600 because we're like in the, you know, finance, whatever 105 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,680 business, credit business. And then it's like just actually 106 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,560 like a giant thing, like one of those massive TV's and they were 107 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080 just going to throw it away, but some guy said no, you really 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760 wanted it for his house. And he is. 109 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400 Avatar. The ladies were gossiping about 110 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,600 like in the corner and they're like, and he has a wife and they 111 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,920 were like what they were like. Where is he? 112 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Gonna put it and I don't know but I'm so interested to see 113 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520 where he's gonna put this huge ass credit card. 114 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,040 I'm kind of pissed. If my husband brought a huge 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,880 credit card home, how am I supposed to just explain that to 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,280 my kids? Oh I mean maybe he has like an 117 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,040 office or a man cave. Like let the man decorate his 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,440 space. Don't touch my space, but you 119 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,480 can decorate yours. It's like the people that you 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,360 know how they take like stop signs and stuff from the 121 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,040 streets. Oh my gosh, my neighbor had one 122 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,520 outside his door the other day and was like definitely from the 123 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,240 street because it has like bolt holes. 124 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,920 Like the ones that aren't on the streets. 125 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,520 Like you can tell because there's no bolt hole. 126 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,240 Your neighbor is. Actually 12 years old if he took 127 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560 a stop sign. Well then, I'm 12 too, because I 128 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,560 really thought about taking it from outside of his door. 129 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,400 Yeah. Actually like such a child. 130 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,280 I was like should I take it? But then I was like that's kind 131 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:00,880 of weird. But I'm like but he's moving and 132 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,440 he had it out like where you put your trash for them to come pick 133 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,360 it up. So I was like if he's getting 134 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,000 rid of it should I just snag it? But then I felt too shy. 135 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,880 I was like I can't steal but if it's trash it's not really 136 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,240 stealing. My boyfriend literally he went 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840 down the hall into the trash room because I told him to take 138 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,480 out the trash and he found a cutting board like it was still 139 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,640 in the wrapping though. OK, I thought you're like, 140 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960 that's disgusting if it wasn't. No, I agree. 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,520 I mean, I still think it's kind of weird that it even if it was. 142 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,040 But anyways. And then he found this, like, 143 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,240 cute little painting actually, and he brought them back to me 144 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,040 and he wrapped. Them up and he gave them to you 145 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,200 for your birthday. But you know, it's like when a 146 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,280 dog goes outside and it scavenges and like finds a stick 147 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520 or something and it's really exciting when it brings it back 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,040 to you. That's kind of what it's like. 149 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,760 I can't Speaking of like boys taking things and leaving things 150 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,320 places and hot desking. Where is this going, Claire? 151 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,320 I'm thinking about this guy I used to work with and he used to 152 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,520 like fill the drawers of his desk with like snacks. 153 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,920 And I, I want to say it was like a certain type of Hostess. 154 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,440 I could be wrong, but I want to say it was like one of those 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,560 very specific types of Hostess cakes. 156 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,560 And he would put them in the drawers. 157 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,760 But like at this place we're hot desking. 158 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,280 So he, it's not really his desk, but he would just like keep 159 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,320 putting them in there and like the desk had little keys and he 160 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,360 would like it was so weird. Katie. 161 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,120 And one day I accidentally reserved that desk. 162 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,720 I opened the door and I was like, Oh, there's snacks in 163 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,679 here. And someone next to me was like, 164 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000 oh, those are so and so's. Like you can have one if you 165 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,559 want. What it's? 166 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,440 Like an Easter egg hunt? Funny, we should do an office 167 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,440 Easter egg hunt. Do you know how cool that would 168 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,200 be, Claire? I know it's kind of like, oh, 169 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,640 it's just like Christian people. But, you know, everybody else 170 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,960 can, like, find the eggs too, You know? 171 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,400 I think it could be Katie. Said it'll be an inclusive 172 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,040 Easter. Egg. 173 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,720 But I still think it would be like cool to do and then you can 174 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040 have like a golden egg. That would be so sick. 175 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280 I would love that. We did an Elf on the Shelf this 176 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,480 year. Oh, did you? 177 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,880 That's so cute. What did you do with it? 178 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,000 Well, it wasn't my job to move it. 179 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,440 But you didn't. Look at where it was. 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,400 Well, I did. It would do like different 181 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,280 things. I don't remember what things 182 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,760 but. So cute. 183 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,800 I totally want to do that.

It was cutie patootie. 185 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,520 That's like about all we've ever done. 186 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,440 Patient. About like do you guys have a 187 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,040 shared reserve of snacks or like a shared reserve of like drinks 188 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:03,440 or something or no? Yes, we have a kitchen full of 189 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,360 snacks and drinks. Currently crying myself to sleep 190 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,320 because we stopped stalking Coke 0 for some reason. 191 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:12,960 How weird.

And OK, the other thing is like 196 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,920 if someone was allergic to nuts in my office, they would die 197 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520 because we have trail mix. And then we have just like these 198 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,080 big glass containers of nuts and like the old men, dads like go 199 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,080 in there and like scoop them and put them in their hands and like 200 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,880 walk around and have their nuts. That's to do that like they 201 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,960 love, like the nuts. I don't know why but. 202 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360 They put nuts in their hand and like, shake them around. 203 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,200 No, you know what I'm talking about. 204 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,360 And then we go like, like it's just the way, OK. 205 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,640 But anyways, we used to have that at my old work. 206 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,360 They had like a little thing of like M&M's and it was like kind 207 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,840 of small and I used to take a lot of M&M's and then they had. 208 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040 Yeah, that's what we have.

Wait, that's so interesting. 249 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,720 I never even thought about bringing my own, like coffee 250 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,680 stuff. Yeah. 251 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:29,760 What do you keep at your desk? Like a charger I got. 252 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,600 I had a little duck at my old office, which was so cute. 253 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Do you know what I'm talking about? 254 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:42,960 Like the ducks they give you to help you, to help you, like code 255 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,160 and stuff. Like they give you ducks. 256 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,720 What the fuck? You haven't heard of this? 257 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600 This is like actually really common in like software 258 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,080 engineering and stuff, but like basically before. 259 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Ducks. Like I'm imagining the ducks 260 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,000 that are in people's jeeps. Yeah, it's like the same thing. 261 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,160 OK. But, and this all started also 262 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,400 like there was some paper study like about it and it was like 263 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,440 talk to a duck. And then my 11th grade teacher 264 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,280 made us do it. And then so basically before 265 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,240 Chachi BT, you'd be like really stuck somewhere in your code and 266 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160 like you can't figure out what the error is. 267 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,680 And then you keep asking like the teacher a question and 268 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,240 telling her like, I don't know what it is. 269 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,960 And then she got annoyed and she was like, just go to the back of 270 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,080 the room and talk through your answer to the duck. 271 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,640 So you have to explain like your code to the duck, and then while 272 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,640 you're explaining the code to the duck, like you realize where 273 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,320 you went wrong and then you go back and sit down and then you 274 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,480 don't bother her. What? 275 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,160 About ducks. And that was sweet. 276 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000 You know how I feel about this. Do it right the first time. 277 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:57,720 This sounds stupid, I thought. It was super cute, but anyways. 278 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,600 So you have a charger and a duck. 279 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,440 Wow, Katie, really have some interesting things here at your 280 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,520 desk.

And I'll say like Katie. 283 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,400 And then I keep that 'cause I'm too lazy to throw it away, but I 284 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,720 threw it away. This time, okay, okay. 285 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,560 And then I used to have these little Chinese candies or high 286 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,000 choose. I know high choose are Japanese, 287 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,760 but these other ones are like these Chinese ones, the ones 288 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000 that come in like a tiny little green thing. 289 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,440 But like basically they're like little things you can suck on. 290 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,520 Like think tiny lollipops.

I knew some other people used to 332 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,200 like decorate more, but it was never like, I don't know, the 333 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600 way we had desks, it was like a hard surface, like it wasn't 334 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,120 like the soft. OK, yeah, ours are like hard 335 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:15,840 surface and then like frosted glass. 336 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,800 But I feel like where my cube is is really out in the open. 337 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,240 So I had this idea the other day that I'm going to like make a 338 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,880 cubicle tent, like I'm going to put a roof and like a little 339 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,720 door on my cube. That's so cute. 340 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,600 Because I don't like. Also I don't like the lighting 341 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,640 at work. Like I like to work in the dark 342 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,920 if I work from home. Like I leave the lights off in 343 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,760 my office and just use the window light. 344 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,400 Wait, that's actually really true because this one job I had, 345 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,200 it was like kind of after COVID and so no one wanted to come 346 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,440 into the office and I would. Because I was like. 347 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,440 Already vaccinated, whatever, I didn't care. 348 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,520 And nobody would be there. Nobody would be there. 349 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,680 And then I would get my own office and it was super cool and 350 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,320 I would just work like in the dark and then get my little 351 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040 coffee and then sit there and be like all cozy. 352 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680 Exactly like I want this at work, but I'm just like out in 353 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,720 the open. I do have a space heater so we 354 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,360 all have like our office is freezing so we all have like 355 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,800 little space heaters under a desk. 356 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,280 But we recently got in trouble with management because like our 357 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,600 building management, because we keep like blowing circuits and 358 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,400 then like cubes will black out. Like like it'll be like 5 359 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560 people's cubes at random. We'll just like block out of 360 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,200 power and it'll be like, Oh my cubes out again. 361 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:42,320 That's insane thing to happen. Why don't you just turn up the 362 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,760 heat? Like what? 363 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Well, they won't let us. I don't know. 364 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,680 They won't let us. So we all have space heaters and 365 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,960 then like when they come to inspect things we hide them in 366 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:59,600 like our little lockers. Means at school, I don't know if 367 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,000 you had this, but I went to like a really like a private school 368 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,160 and if you weren't wearing the right thing or if you had like a 369 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,040 beard, if you had anything like you had to like. 370 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,640 Hide it. And it's like that with you guys 371 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:18,040 with the heaters. That's so interesting, yeah. 372 00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,400 I don't know. I feel like my boss, I've had 373 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040 different types of bosses. I feel like in the cubes, like 374 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,360 some, I know I had one whenever he wanted to talk to me, he 375 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,960 would like go around like, do you know what I'm saying? 376 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Like you can kind of see this way, but you can't see this way 377 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280 because this is like where I'm working like forward. 378 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,200 And so he would come behind me and like, look at what I was 379 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,120 doing. I hate it when people do that. 380 00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:46,480 It scares me. I scream sometimes when people 381 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,920 walk up by me and they're like, hey, Claire. 382 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,160 You screaming?

It's scary. 388 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:23,680 Maybe you should get a doorbell. Oh, that's a good idea anyways. 389 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,880 You can make it a little gingerbread house in the winter 390 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,920 to like pilot the idea of like a closed vest. 391 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000 Like, I'll pose it as I'm just decorating, but it's really I 392 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,080 just like, want to be by myself and like, want the lights off. 393 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,560 Yeah, but I'll pose as I'm going all out decorating for 394 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,600 Christmas. That's cute. 395 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,680 What about Valentine's Day?

Yes, I miss that so much. 401 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:05,160 That was one of my favorite parts of like, Valentine's Day. 402 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560 I agree. And I got the decoration box. 403 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,600 Yeah, I had some cool ones. One time I got really jealous so 404 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,560 because this girl, her dad was an artist and he like hand wove 405 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,160 like I guess you don't weave wood, but he like made her like 406 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,240 a cherry pie box, like out of wood in the shape of a heart. 407 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,960 What? That's so insane. 408 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,560 How long did that take him? I have no idea, but it was so 409 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,360 cool and I was so jealous because I just had like a 410 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,200 fucking shoe box. Probably I did the night before. 411 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,560 You know, like when it's like 9:00 PM and you're like, mom, I 412 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,200 need a poster board for tomorrow. 413 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,600 Yeah, that was like me with the shoe box she got. 414 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,040 Sick of it. And she would just have like a 415 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,680 stockpile of poster boards in our house and she'd be like, 416 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200 yeah, just go get the poster. We would do that too, but then I 417 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,280 would be like it needs to be a trifold or like it needs like I 418 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,480 was annoying like my mom be like this poster board will work. 419 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,880 I'm like no one needs to be like pink 'cause she would keep them 420 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,360 in like this one closet too. Like she would have like 5 in 421 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,800 there. Claire, you're such an annoying 422 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,440 child. Just a child who knew what she 423 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,120 wanted, and it's fine. Cubicles. 424 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,080 Oh, you know what I learned recently about my cubicle area 425 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,480 is that we have a sound machine that plays all day. 426 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,080 What? How did you not know that though 427 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,160 before? I never noticed. 428 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,720 I thought it was the air conditioner. 429 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,160 Like I thought the air conditioner went 24/7 and that's 430 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,160 why it was so fucking cold. But it turns out we have a sound 431 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,360 machine in the ceiling to drown out noises because we have like 432 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:41,760 2 cubicle sections and like apparently the other one doesn't 433 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000 have that. So you can like hear like every 434 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,440 little thing, but like this, like I guess like this is like 435 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760 white noise that plays at this other one. 436 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,320 Like where I sit. And I'm like, I'm just so 437 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,120 confused by it 'cause I can still hear like someone four 438 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,000 cubes up and two cubes over from me. 439 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,600 Like breathing. Like he sits there all day and 440 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:09,200 he's like. Like. 441 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:15,720 Shit, are you OK? I hate the people who have that 442 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,560 really nasally, like you know what I'm talking about. 443 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,880 Like they have something stuck in their nose so it sounds high 444 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,960 pitched when they breathe in through their nose and it goes 445 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,920 like. And I just, gosh. 446 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,360 Sounds like I hate it and so that really bothers. 447 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,480 Me. So my new petition is like, 448 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,720 let's put the sound machine on a different setting. 449 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,440 Like what if we heard ocean waves all day one day? 450 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,520 What if we heard? Cute. 451 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,680 Oh my gosh. Or if you guys had like a beach 452 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,840 themed week? Yeah, like we could do different 453 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680 themed weeks and like change the sound machine did not just be 454 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,240 white noise. That'll be. 455 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,760 Cute, I know. We right now are doing like this 456 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,240 is kind of off topic, but like a music challenge. 457 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,880 And so apparently, like, there's this website where you can like, 458 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,440 say a 90s song and like submit your song and then everyone has 459 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,440 to guess who submitted what and then you they like rank you. 460 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,400 And that's like super fun. Sounds fun. 461 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,360 I want to do fun things like that. 462 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,960 We also do code names on Friday during one of our meetings. 463 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080 So fun. I know. 464 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,240 I was OK, I was looking on Amazon the other day. 465 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,480 Now I'm really like thinking about decorating my cube and 466 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,080 like the potential for a gingerbread house cube and old 467 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,160 things. And I was like, look, I just 468 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,360 like literally typed into Amazon like cube decorations or like 469 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:43,920 cube must haves. And there was a security mirror, 470 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,320 a security mirror, you know, like those silver mirrors where 471 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,720 you can like see around the corner. 472 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,040 But it was like made for a cube. So you could like attach it to 473 00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:03,680 your cube to see who's coming. Such a crazy idea to someone 474 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,160 like to be like, this is a problem to actually like invent 475 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,840 the thing and then go. And then in China we're like, 476 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,200 what the fuck is this? I kind of want to get one as a 477 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,760 prank, like just put it on my cube and see what people say. 478 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:28,040 Hello. Another weird thing I saw was. 479 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Like. A coffee mug, but like heats 480 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,880 itself up.

I just have so many things to 483 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,880 say about that, but. I also noticed like everybody 484 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,080 just like has the same morning routine. 485 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,920 Oh yes. Like. 486 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,160 That's so true. One of my bosses always gets 487 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,800 coffee from like this one specific shop and then my other 488 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,360 one gets it from Starbucks and then the person sitting next to 489 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,920 me they get Starbucks.

Like I had to take two 546 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,400 preventative ibuprofens every time I went to class. 547 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,240 I'm not even joking because it was like actually like I would 548 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,400 strain myself because he would talk about like all the theory 549 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,320 and then he'd tell us how to use it at the end. 550 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,240 And I'm like, I do not care about the theory. 551 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,160 But then sometimes he'd ask us about it. 552 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,400 So I really tried so hard to pay attention. 553 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000 I've never, you will never catch me trying that hard, but I 554 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,240 definitely have gone through preventative ibuprofen phase. 555 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,120 Like when I was a cheerleader I would take like 4 before like 556 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,120 practice. So it's like, I know my wrists 557 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,560 are going to hurt. Why would you take 4 before 558 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,080 practice? Four, that's like an 559 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,520 exaggeration like 2 cause like my wrists and my ankles would 560 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,880 hurt. Well, isn't that like a sign? 561 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,760 Maybe you should like slow down. No, not around here, partner. 562 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,640 Who were you tearing for? Did you even have a football? 563 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,240 Team, Yeah, What kind of question is that? 564 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,000 People were on it, Claire, other than like 2. 565 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,840 Like all the boys football, Basketball. 566 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,640 Ever heard of those sports? What sports do you have? 567 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,480 All of the normal ones. No, we don't have sports and 568 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,520 like work. That could be cool. 569 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,720 I know sometimes like we had I can never go, but like little 570 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,640 pickleball things and we would like go play each other and 571 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,800 pickleball and then they have like a basketball court there. 572 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,920 And so like some of the D3 athletes never go play 573 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,720 basketball after work. OK. 574 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,240 We don't even have a gym at our office. 575 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,800 I don't want to hear it. Have you seen these things? 576 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,440 And they're like they look like. I don't know how to describe it 577 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,840 other than half a cylinder. An Ottoman. 578 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,440 Yeah, it's like a foot Ottoman, but like you put it on the 579 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,440 ground under your desk and it's like cushioning. 580 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,960 You like, put your feet on it. It's like a Squatty Potty, but 581 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720 like. Yes, it's like a squatty potty, 582 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:40,280 but like a cushiony foot rest at your desk and like one person 583 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,600 got it, then the next person got it. 584 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,320 Like if you don't have this, like you're really missing out. 585 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,320 And I'm like the fuck? You guys are way too relaxed at 586 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,720 work. Literally half the time I don't 587 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,440 know if my chair is going to be the same chair that I had 588 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520 yesterday. Like anything could happen. 589 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,320 Like, you know, I mean, it's not like. 590 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,480 I don't know if someone messed with my chair I'd be so pissed. 591 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560 It took me like 5 chairs. Like switching them out with 592 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,040 cubes to get one that doesn't squeeze. 593 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,480 I like the old one. Like I like kept going to empty 594 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,760 cubes and like stealing them until I got one that didn't 595 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,080 squeak and now I have the perfect chair and if someone 596 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,680 ever takes them I'm going to be so mad. 597 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,680 Note to self, never take your chair if we're together. 598 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,880 Do you guys have standing desks? Yeah, like you can like press 599 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,200 the buttons. Yeah, so ours do that, but 600 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,320 they're like low key, obnoxiously loud. 601 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:44,120 So it's like going up. There's this one guy, he goes 602 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,600 up, down, up, down all day. Like stop. 603 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,400 It interesting. I feel like no one ever really 604 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,520 uses it. Like I mean, sometimes they'll 605 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,880 do it, but I never like noticed because I'm at a meeting or 606 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,600 something when they do, I don't know, but there's like so many 607 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,880 times. So Claire, we're like, we all 608 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,720 come into work, but nobody's around me, you know? 609 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:12,360 That's saying something, Katie. It's because they have meetings 610 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,679 like in, so they all go to different conference rooms and 611 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,280 like meet with all the different teams. 612 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,080 And so they'll be like in hours where I'm like. 613 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,239 I just want to have a meeting. What do you mean I? 614 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,880 Feel like I never have meetings. You want to have a meeting. 615 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,639 Yeah. Literally. 616 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,320 I want more meetings. That's so I never heard anybody 617 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,159 say that, but anyways. Like I feel like I need at least 618 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:42,120 two week. You don't have at least two week 619 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:46,040 no one with your manager and then like the one-on-one with 620 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,719 like no. No, no, we don't have anything 621 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,960 that formal. Oh, we're really laid back. 622 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,560 We have like those set out. So like we have like the don't 623 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,080 you have stand up? Huh. 624 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,400 You don't have stand up, Stand up. 625 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,080 I've done this. Like, OK, It's usually like when 626 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,560 you and your group, like all of you work under this person who's 627 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,520 like a senior director or something, you guys talk about 628 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,360 what you're doing to each other and like say, oh, are there any 629 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,520 blockers? No. 630 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,040 Yes. OK, but like my like type of 631 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,320 work is so different. It's like it's so many different 632 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:34,440 projects, you know, in different teams and you're on many teams 633 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,280 and there's. Because you guys bill per hour, 634 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,880 right? I feel like people that bill per 635 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,240 hour don't really do that because they just like want to 636 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:48,440 get like as many out, I don't know, as many hours as they can 637 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,600 because like places I've been at that also never did those. 638 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,800 I don't know, all I'm asking for is a few meetings to waste a few 639 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,200 hours of my week. I'm being too productive. 640 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,880 Literally all of us, when we have to join like meetings for 641 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,400 100 people or more, we just have it on in the background and do 642 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,400 our work and don't pay attention to it. 643 00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,840 And then I asked people, oh, what did you think about the 644 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,200 meeting? It's like, you know, when you go 645 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,440 to school and you have like assembly, it's like that. 646 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,480 And then I'll be like, oh, what was like assembly about? 647 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,040 And they're like, I don't know. And then I'm like, why? 648 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:29,320 I don't know either so. Yeah, sure. 649 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,880 Right, Katie. OK, we really derailed, but I 650 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,600 just kind of wanted to talk about cubes. 651 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,280 That's kind of all I had for today. 652 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,640 Did you have anything?
