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)

cube-alabras ... where have you been?!

¿dónde están mis cube-alabras?
que est que c'est? cube-alabras?!

it will be nearly one year since adding to the list of cube-alabras, aka words (palabras) about cubicle life. here are the four batches since last july '08
  • pre-voyage ~ 2 mos after starting at cubeopolis over here
  • batch 1 maiden voyage over here where cubic hair was introduced.
  • batch 2 over here where cubeturbation (multiple definitions for a cubealabras) was introduced
  • batch 3 over here where cubicide was introduced (and unlikely because of physics but still ...)
  • mini-batch 4 over here where cuberalissimo was introduced
and a few other posts includes as part of the cubealabras family of posts. anyway, after a cubester recently (this past week) asked about a possible cubealabras, here is (mini-)batch 5, the first of 2009.
  • Harry Cubini -- the staffer who always seems to disappear whenever an important assignment comes in.
  • Cuberace -- sexually ambiguous staffer who always wants to "entertain" everyone, including someone's brother named George, with questionable musical selections on either a piano or ukelele at the annual Festivas party. Tends to wear more bling than a blind rapper.
  • cubitis -- Can one develop cubitis from the day in/day out occupation of a cubical?
  • Cubebob Loblaw -- A loud person you tend to tune out would be named Cubebob Loblaw.
  • cubrication -- If you're having friction with your fellow cubemate, I'd say it's due to lack of sufficient cubrication. (i'll have to see if this also was defined before.)
  • cubervise -- A person who repeatedly disturbs his cube neighbors is said to be insufficiently cubervised.
  • cubesticles -- A loud office worker who refuses his boss' orders to quiet down might be said to have large cubesticles. (also, cubejones, cubollocks)
  • cubepetitive stress injury -- And a wrist injury resulting from one's reflexive jerking motion every time a loud office worker talks is called cubepetitive stress injury.
  • cuboister, cuboisterous -- A cubester known to be loud. The cuboister was being so cuboisterous I could hardly think.
  • cubesplitting -- as in ear splitting in cubeopolis. Her voice is cubesplitting, I wish she would just STFU!
  • cubeatterbox (or cubatterbox) -- chatter box in cubeopolis
  • cubecibel -- as in decibel, the measure of noise in cubeopolis
cuber

If you want to shut that loud office worker, just make an embarrassing video of him/her and post it on YouCube.

Or do something positive, like sending him to the karate dojo run by Ralph Macchio, the Cubra Kai.

Whatever you do, don't let him go cuballistic on you.

You may want to put up an ad for a new co-worker on Cubeslist.

Cuber - how someone from long island who works in cubeopolis refers to the resident geek.

Many he is such a cuber, we should send him out for 'caw-fee' and cold 'watah'
