Today I was taken to the desolate and arid side of cubonia, which is a mazelike, empty land. This area holds a place in tribal legend: The legend of Waah. The legend of Waah holds that this land was once fruitful and filled with cube monkeys, in older and happier days, but slowly they all disappeared, and with their leaving, the land became arid and desolate. This legend encompasses the idea that there must be cube monkeys or some other observer of life in order for there to in fact, be life. In the legend, some were "dounsizt", others "went to waah", which is their rudimentary version of heaven and hell, Waah being some sort of cubonian paradise, where the cube monkey may actually surround themselves with their favorite people and things, and dounsiz being some sort of rudimentary hell, which appears to be closer to oblivion. While the cubonians believe that the spirits of Waah contacts them from time to time, once someone goes to dounsizt, they are never heard from again.
Welcome to Cubonia: A page dedicated to cubicle monkeys trapped in the corporate jungle
Cube Monkeys are disapparing at an alarming rate. Corporate mergers, downsizing, higher "productivity", mandatory overtime and a lack of vacation time or chances for advancement are slowly eroding their environment, often leaving them with nowhere to go. Their plight is heartbreaking.
They no longer play merry pranks on one another, and barely respond when poked or prodded with provoking emails. Sometimes they pace, prowling back and forth in deserted conference rooms, nervously growling into cellphones. But mostly, they stare, blindly and disheartened, at small screens, for hours on end, rarely shifting position or noticing their surroundings. It doesn't even matter if the screens are on.
Remember, only you can free Cubonia. Only you can stop the devastation of cubicles everywhere, and turn the work place into a fun place to be again.
