ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

Some know it as the dreaded "environmental regulation." However, in Latin America, where the common folk are known to speak casually of "res ipsa loquitur" and "carpe diem," it is referred to simply as the mysterious, corporate life force-draining monster known as Cube-capra.

I am wondering about the cube-ectomy (emergency removal from cube) and if someone could be called a cube? As is square?

cube-turbation. uh ...
1) when a cube-ster's equilibrium has been thrown off;
2) when a cube-ster is (dare i say) getting off;
3) when a cube-ster is bothering another cube-ster.

A super EPA employee would be called the Cuber Mensch.

And if you find it difficult to slip between assignments, one would say that you lack sufficient cubricity.

My co-worker threw such a fit, I'd swear she was pre-cubescent. Such cubenile behavior, indeed!

Perhaps an addition to the cube-lexicon:

cube-fax: The act of sharing written information in 1995.
