Bimonthly Book Review: Mad Libs – Who Moved My Cubicle

This one is completely juvenile but that did not stop me from giving it to my coworker as a holiday present. We had some fun completing the office-centric stories with our equally office-centric jargon. A few other fellow cubicle dwellers got involved and I was reminded of my childhood.

 Inspired by the cubicle version, I stopped off at the local Chapter and picked up a few of the other Mad Libs books for my younger brother’s stocking. As I suspected, he got the quite the kick out of his books. Can you believe, he is 10 years old and this was his first introduction to Mad Libs? I tell you, kids these days are missing out! Oh, and as soon as the family opened the Xbox, with all of the accessories, including awesome gaming headsets, the Mad Libs were cast aside like dirty socks. Sigh. Anyway, Who Moved My Cubicle is available at most bookstores or online for about $4.00.

Bimonthly Book Review: Pimp My Cubicle

Do you feel like the drab grey walls of your cubicle are holding you down, stifling your creativity, and/or contributing to your lack of inspiration? If your answer is yes, you need to pick up this book and all of the bling that comes with it. Pimp My Cubicle offers a bunch of over top, inspiring ideas to help turn drab to fab. I will be the first to admit that 99.9% of the cubicle inhabiting world would not likely have the nerve to carry out the cubicle pimping as exemplified within the pages of this book, but it is good for a laugh, it would make an excellent gift for an office mate with a sense of humor, and it does come with a mini disco ball.  

I wonder if it would be possible to pimp my Avaya headset! I would equip mine with a Batman beacon that lit up every time I answered a call. It would serve two purposes: it would look cool and it would notify my coworkers when I am on a call. See the beacon, I am already speakin’….wow, I think I inadvertantly just gave the blogging world an unneccessary glimpse at my true geekyness.

 You can get Pimp My Cubicle new on Amazon for about $24.00.
