Wildcard winner: The Road Warrior.
Thank you to all readers who submitted their entries via email, Facebook and Twitter during the last wildcard week of the 2009 Worst Cubicle in the World contest. Only one wildcard was chosen, and voting begins on Monday, August 24th to determine the Worst Cubicle in the World. (Vote here!)
The 2009 Worst Cubicle in the World is a contest that allows you, the reader, to submit a photo of your miserable cubicle for a chance to win $50 and be named the Worst Cubicle in the World.
Of the nine submissions I received for the wildcard spot, the victor goes to the entry displayed below which has been titled "Road Warrior".
Notes from sender:
"This is my cubicle or rather the non-cubicle cubicle of a road warrior. Some may say it doesn’t qualify but what exactly is a cubicle? Dictionary.com defines it as “a small space or compartment partitioned off”. That sounds like the trunk of a car to me. In here you’ll find many of the items typically found in your average padded office cell. In the bags you will find two laptop computers, a scanner, printer, hub, USB VoIP phone, pens, penciled, paper, stapler, etc. Upon inspection you’ll also see some items unique to the mobile cubicle: a PowerStation used to jump a car battery, a small suitcase of items that don’t fit on the clothing rack spanning my backseat (if you look closely you can see it though the rear window), a bag filled with six months of unread mail, shoeboxes that actually contain shoes and an obviously unhealthy relationship with diet soda."
Dudley's notes:
Not just any diet soda -- Dr. Thunder, the king of all generic diet sodas.

Six months of unread mail? I guess there's only so much Dr. Thunder can do.
As someone who has done the road warrior thing, this is fanstastic. Thanks for sharing. I think Del Griffith himself would give Kudos. But as you keep your clothes on hangars in the back, you are probably a tidy road warrior with no mountain of cigarette butts in the tray, fast food and convenience store wrappers, etc. all over. Oh and Dr Thunder has been known to cause lab rats to grow accessory appendages.
But I don't really think this qualifies as the worst cubicle because it's self-induced. Cubicles are forced on people by their employers. Road Warrier could indeed stop at the local Walmart and buy some storage containers and organize his stuff if he wanted to.
Got something to say?
