Doing Time

Cube City bears a striking resemblance to prison:

1. The colors are drab.
2. The small cube cells are lined up in a row.
3. You're told what to do every day.
4. You're told what to wear.
5. You're stuck doing time.
6. The toilets are dirty.

I'm sure there are many more similarities. This is a hot topic among disgruntled cube dwellers who argue that prison is better than Cube City.

But all I really know for sure is that I got my latest Social Security benefits statement in the mail last night, and I'll be doing at least three more life sentences before I'm released from Cube City -- no chance for parole.
