Default Re: New Job: Given Office, Then Moved To Cubicle. What to do?

Thing is, I kind of want the office. My job requires a lot of concentration, and I'm constantly going to be on tight (daily, sometimes hourly) deadlines to get things done.

Us cubicle people are [censored] animals that never do work, never have deadlines and just make paper airplanes all day.

Seriously dude, you're already acting like a pretentious dick acting like you're too good to sit in a cubicle. You're already on the road to the person that everyone hates and no one talks to, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I've never worked in an office. Always in a cubicle. So I'm not sure how I could come off like a pretentious dick who hates people in cubicles. I'm also not sure if you actually read my post, but I said that the only thing that bothers me is when people sit around at the open conference table, not having a meeting, just to [censored] and laugh while everyone else is trying to work. I never said anything about the people in the cubicles around me (who are really nice, and aren't loud).

So I guess you wouldn't be disappointed if you were given a private office with two windows, and then you were moved to a [censored] cubicle?

And maybe this might make a difference. I'm not a [censored] investment banker or something. I write for a living. I'm not making six figures and driving a [censored] beemer. The office was just a nice perk. And believe me, I haven't shared these thoughts with anyone at work, so nobody hates me. I can't say I've gotten a bad vibe from anyone.

EDIT: You're from Pittsburgh. Ugh. Why did I even waste time replying? I know it's such a horrible thing to stereotype an entire geographical region of people, but from my five years living outside of Pittsburgh, I know that I hate 90% of the people that live there.
