<div>What stupid questions have you received from your coworkers recently? <br/>Here's a sample conversation I had with a colleague last week: <br/> <br/>Bimbo: I can't log into my internet banking account. Why can't I do that? <br/>Me: (this has nothing to do with my job) I'm really not sure. Why don't you call your bank? <br/>Bimbo: (launches into a long winded story about how she used to be able to do internet banking and now she can't, and then launches into another story about a friend of a friend of a friend whose account disappeared while doing online banking ) <br/>Me: I really don't know. Why don't you call your bank and find out? <br/>Bimbo: (continues her saga of how she's tried several times to log in without success). Why can't I login in? <br/>Me: Why don't you call the bank? <br/>Bimbo: Do you know their phone number?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cubiclenation.tribe.net">Cubicle Nation</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Ok, so I'm about to lose my mind. I've been listening to this guy on the other side of the cube wall WHISTLING for about a month or so and I can't take it anymore! (Sometimes he sings, too.) What should I do? Any ideas??</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cubiclenation.tribe.net">Cubicle Nation</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>How would you approach (notice I didn't use the word confront?) a person whose perfume makes you gag??? <br/> <br/>Whenever this person leaves an area, you can almost see the fog she leaves behind - even 5 minutes later!!! I stuck a note in the ladies room that read "the Vanilla Musk is a little much" as a hint - she didn't take it. I then spoke to her manager who spoke with her and she stopped wearing it for awhile. Unfortunately the replacement was barely tolerable. She started up wearing it again and I finally spoke to her. <br/> <br/>(SIDENOTE: I wasn't working on getting the nerve to speak to her. I just wanted to make sure it came out OK without offense.) <br/> <br/>I took the straightline approach. I started out with, "This is a little awkward.....". I said that her perfume was really causing me to have breathing problems. That for a while she wore a different scent that was more pleasant and could she please wear that one to work instead of the vanilla musk. She didn't say much and left my cube rather abruptly. <br/> <br/>As far as how well did she take it???? SHE DOUBLED UP ON THE STUFF TODAY!!!!!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cubiclenation.tribe.net">Cubicle Nation</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>So what do you add to your beige cell to make it more homey? <br/> <br/>I have little goodies like toy cars, a statue of Gutenberg, a miniature of the chopping block used to behead Henry's wives (that makes me smile when I think of some folks here), photos of my cats and my hubby, some peacock feathers in a vase, a picture of the two of us drinking wine in Germany, a mosaic pencil holder...lots of paper and crap.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cubiclenation.tribe.net">Cubicle Nation</a> - 13 replies </div>

<div>What do you hear over those cloth and metal walls? I have a coworker who has protracted arguments with her brother, which often end up with abrupt hang-ups. For some reason, they make me cringe. <br/> <br/>Headphones are good.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://cubiclenation.tribe.net">Cubicle Nation</a> - 5 replies </div>
