And all that time I thought it was a cubicle wall! <grin>
Back in the Green-bar days, I almost completed two walls inside my cubicle.
The door was going to be a problem. And it's surprising how sound proof a ten
inch thick stack of paper is !!!!
When I first started my current job the technical staff had either full
real cubical or book shelfs and "mobile" cubical walls. The end users
had a desk, a terminal table and a chair, in a open space. NO WALL's
The built walls with listings to have privacy. This was in the late
80's and almost everybody smoked and of course back then you could smoke
at your desk.
The county implemented new laws that required the fire marshal to
inspect every office building twice a year. Our building had not been
inspected since was first open (the early 70's). He was NOT amused by
6-7 foot high walls of paper to create private work spaces. Nor was he
amused as the "coffee tables" with ash trays on them. The more he saw
the redder his face got. He kept muttering something about about paper
being flammable.
