 <title>Cubicles are hell</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-blog/cubicles-are-hell</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Cubicles are never alright. It is only nice when it is quiet, which is&lt;br /&gt;
not often. I have a loud cackling laugh expelled from a woman next to&lt;br /&gt;
me. This can be heard with the office door closed and in the closed&lt;br /&gt;
restroom from the far end of the bathroom. IMAGINE being right next to&lt;br /&gt;
it and trying to concentrate. Who is going to complain when she is the&lt;br /&gt;
supervisor though? Then next to the loud aweful laugh I have an&lt;br /&gt;
insanely loud woman from BOSTON that drives me nuts! She is so loud.&lt;br /&gt;
She does not even care that people are actually working around her many&lt;/p&gt;
