Patton, like many "Office Space" and Dilbert fans, got caught up in the struggle to carve out an identity in a sea of endless gray walls. The snap-on cubicle -- which even its designer, Robert Propst, eventually came to see as "monolithic insanity" -- continues to dominate the office furniture market.

"We find ourselves connecting a lot more with our environment because we want to get to know people."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/worklife/07/18/wacky.workspace/index.html">Then there's the morale factor.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E71B841A-4FA6-4BEC-915E-A162F868197D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
