Comments on: Some Needed Improvements To My Cubicle http://internetzillionaire.com/2007/05/some-needed-improvements-to-my-cubicle/ Funny with a lot of zeros involved.

Everyone has a birthday, and once you have one party, you are committed to have one for everyone so no one feels slighted. And make sure everyone sings Happy Birthday--NO lipsynching allowed. This often goes overlooked with more than a few people in the cubicle. Make the people who are late stand outside. Also, make them wait until the end for their cake, no passing it out to them. That'll show them, and next time, they will be fighting to get upfront--like in church. This is guaranteed to take up an hour several times a month. I hope this helps.

It almost makes me happy to make below minimum wage. I would recommend hosting little cube parties. Put out some snacks and have a famous office geek stop by to give the party credibility.

Some of us just want a little cube fame. I like your style Centaur. You've got a great list of some crowd pleasers there. With the right attitude, they are all winners. As your list suggests, the trick to drawing a crowd to your desk, cube, or office is legwork. You've got to put in the legwork. I hate to say it, but it's as simple as that. I used to have a desk near the office refridgerator and I would keep it stocked exclusively with Push-Ups. Nobody could turn down my impromptu Push-Up parties! Also, my workstation doubled as a DJ booth. I spun tunes 8 hours a day, every day. By switching my playlist, I could change who would come over to visit me. Suprisingly, everyone loves 80's flashback day. Note: If you play your music loud enough, even your boss will come by to talk to you. One other tip: Don't overdecorate your cube. The last person I want to make friends with at the office is the person whose gone overboard pimping their cube. It reveals an unhealthy addiction to Trading Spaces or an unhealthy need to lie to yourself that you aren't at work. Neither is acceptable. Some of us seek riches and glory.

I have been seeing quite a bit of foot traffic and it has been due to crack-like drug that i feed my coworkers. this drug has them coming back for handfuls. Right now i offer it free just to "set the hook". When thr time is right i will double charge and rake in the moolah! This crack-like drug is known as chocolate. You forgot about drugs.

Since when have you even paid attention to the fact that some loaves come out to be half the size they should or that some are a little crispy on the bottom? I'm all for the ball crawl. Charlie and I would swing by more often if there were balls to crawl in. Have you considered an inflatable waterslide? That would draw the crowds hands down.
