Are you concerned about cube safety?

Apr 26, 2012 3:45 PM

Dear Deals Frenz, I'm worried about @agingdragqueen. I can't be here all the time but I have heard that monkeys go flying at late hours in the day. Please protect our Turntable Queen with your suggestion of cube safety gear! Helmets, monkey stickers to decorate said helmet, nerf weaponry, and shields are welcome. GO forth and find us the deals, please.

With concern, inkycatz
(ps. no harmful ideas we're just having some fun yet protecting our cubes!)

Net off the cube to prevent monkey incursions:

The best defense is a good offense. Screech loudly enough to scare away flying monkeys and sneaky co-workers:

I recall seeing a pretty awesome USB powered missile launcher somewhere. I cannot recall where though. Oh well.

I use one of the giant sticky hands that you used to get in gumball machines. Although they are dangerous. I have made my coworker cry (seriously) on at least 3 separate occasions with a direct hit to the eye.

@carl669: Is that a hint at when the next boc is? The time is not right seems suspicious.

When I saw the title I assumed this was about how to move through Cube ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ ) safely. Anyone else think that? (I mean, that'd be something worth being concerned about.)

As of two weeks ago, I have one of these leaning against my desk at all times. Well, all times that I'm not chasing coworkers with it... >=D

I recommend popping open a large Beach Umbrella Defense Shield to deflect incoming artillery.

(And that bad luck opening an umbrella indoors only applies if you have a Mom who collects a lot of fragile tchotchkes that really shouldn't be kept om the foyer table anyway because ANYONE could knock them over, MOM!).

@caffeine_dude: nah. it's just stuff from previous BOCs used to guard my cube.

@lavikinga: I was also thinking that a clear "bubble" umbrella would work well as a portable shield. Maybe some sort of rod/stand to attach it to the desk or chair for hands-free deployment while actually in the cube.

From anybody else, this would be considered a silly question!! My reply is to hide under your desk and that should afford some protection.

@gt0163c: They do make beach umbrellas that screw-fasten to a lawn chair. Figure out the mechanics to some type of vise-grippy thing and it should work great with a clear umbrella.

I had forgotten all about clear umbrellas. When I was a kid, I had one that came down over my shoulders like some bizarro clear mushroom cap. Thanks for the memory recall :)

@lavikinga: Wow - the memories of my very same type of umbrella and walking home from school watching where I was going and who was around, etc. through the raindrops. But you are just a youngster in the scheme of things - did not know that sort of style stayed around for that long. I want another one, I really do.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
