Ali LastrapesWelcome To The Planet!

We pride ourselves on welcoming new faces to the team. We’re a tight-knit group here but we always do what we can to make sure that all the newbies feel welcome . Right now, we‘re gearing up to welcome our newest team members from Indiana. With the addition of the Touch Support — building our new Planet Alpha Advanced Services — we’ve gained some new folks who are eager to move to Houston and start their careers with The Planet. A few have already settled in, and we’re busy building cubes and making space for the rest. We’ll have this place in tip-top shape when they get here — desks, chairs, computers and white boards (oh, how we love our white boards) all ready to go.

The new Alpha Advanced Services staff seem to be in a state of shock-and-awe from the red-carpet welcome going on here (as shown here by Tim).

Before you know it, they’ll be joining in on our daily sing-a-long, Kumbaya-style. Hold hands, everyone!

We. Are. Fam-i-ly. I got all my cube-mates with me…

Ali LastrapesAccording to Time Magazine’s blog, yesterday was the 40th birthday of the beloved Cubicle. We’ve all had them at one time or another. Some good and some … well … I’d rather work in a hole.

At The Planet, we have an open-concept work environment filled with fabulous “newbicles”—cubicles that are neither drab, dreary or soul-sucking. We have shelves, fun white boards and a really large workspace to spread out on.

I wasn’t sure I was going to be thrilled with the arrangement when I first heard about it, but I’ve grown to love it. They are big enough that we aren’t squished on top of each other and the white noise that’s piped in really helps give you privacy. I like being close to my team, too. I just have to roll around on my chair to talk to them!

So, in celebration of the birth of these little gems, I thought we’d pay homage to our friend the cubicle—picture style.

Some prefer a really business- like atmosphere. *cough* …Accounting… *cough*

Some like to show off achievements. (Hi Phil!)

Others prefer to decorate with some panache… (Guess whose sits there? w00t!)

Some need a sufficient place to primp or get food out of their teeth.

Most love to display their collectibles (better known as toys).

Beware of this dude. He’ll pelt you with that giant koosh ball or nerf gun when you least expect it.

Never fear. Scully and Mulder are here to protect us from the abnormal… well, extra abnormal.

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler…

Happy Birthday, cubicle! Don’t worry, 40 is the new 30. You still look fabulous.
