Pimp My Cube Contest

This post brought to you by Contest Factory. All opinions are 100% mine.

Before I was a stay-at-home-momma-ninja, I went to a hi-tech job and for a few years, sat in a cubicle--a work space construct that provides the simultaneous sensation of isolation with no privacy.  Some of my fellow co-workers and I tried to personalize or improve our cubicle real estate.  Toys, decorations, pictures, fountains, plants, swag--anything to liven it up.  But some of my co-workers (many of them engineers) just didn't even try.  

I think a lot of people can relate with office space being so tight and efficiency being a big focus.  But there is something to be said for beautifying your working space.  Contest Factory is looking for the worst cube out there.  If you think you have a pretty dreary cubicle/workspace, check out the Pimp My Cube Contest.  They are asking for people to submit videos of their cubicles/workspaces  explaining why they are in need of some serious "pimping" or improving.   Then vote and encourage friends to vote for your cubicle.  The funnier the video the better.  Contest closes 1/31/2012.

You could win one of three prize packages valued at $1200:

 

• Technology Package: new computer system with LCD monitor, stereo speakers and web cam.
• Furniture Package: new desk, ergonomic chair, painting or artwork and plants.
• Entertainment Package: New sound system, Espresso Machine, Mini-fridge and Personal Water dispenser, etc.

There will also be a random user chosen to receive a $200 Amazon gift card so even if you don't have a cubicle to pimp, you can win too.  Not bad, eh?

Here's a sample video:
