Ok, it's Tuesday morning... and work is really quiet. I work at PG&E in the tax department as a CPA. We have really nice cubes with tons of space along with a guest chair in each cube. The place is pretty well lit by artificial lighting but the one really bad thing is there isn't any natural lighting... meaning we can't see the sun outside. Lame huh? Anyways, one thing about working in cubes is that although you can't see people coming, you can definitely hear their footsteps as they approach. You see, I have one of those cubes that has small slits that pass as windows so that people can see what you're doing and you can see them as they pass by. Of course you can't see them as they approach down the hallway but you can hear their footsteps or their voices as they are coming. Pit...pit...pit...thump thump thump...just by the speed and the intensity of the footsteps, I can usually determine who it is that will pass by my cube. As a matter of fact, I would say that the pace and the softness/intensity of a person's footsteps can pretty much characterize their personality. Inherently busy-stressed out people have hard fast footsteps, as if they are in a hurry all the time. Quietly busy people that never seem busy walk at a quick pace but with much softer footsteps. People who are laid back never walk by my cube. They are at Jamba Juice...
