I just have to provide a link to Russell today. His blog quotes one of my favorite movies.
If you don't know the movie, I'm not telling. Everone needs to see this one.

Far too easy. Anyone who has ever been a cubicle monkey /has/ to see that movie.
"Yeah, so ummm, I am going to have to ask you to come in on Saturday. Ok?"
I found the movie so inspirational, I took it to heart using my (former) employer's Laserjet 4L and a steel baseball bat in the carpark. Just as well they'd decided to throw it out anyway :)
Maybe I'm just retarded or something ... but I work in IT, I've been in cubes, I've seen shit straight out of Dilbert ... and I just didn't think Office Space was that funny. Maybe it's because of how many people told me, "Dude! You HAVE to see Office Space! You'll fucking love it maaaan!" Maybe I need to revisit it.
In any case, here's the movie quote that resonated with me:
"The basic premise of cyber-netting your office is -- make things more efficient."
"Can I get the icon in cornflower blue?"
Now *that* is the story of my fucking life.
