MAY I MOVE TO ONE OF THE EMPTY CUBICLES?

THOSE ARE FULL- SIZE CUBICLES; INTERNS GET HALF- SIZE CUBICLES.

YES... ORDINARILY BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VACANT CUBICLES BECAUSE OF DOWNSIZING.

I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU.

THEY'RE EMPTY!

THEY WILL NEVER BE OCCUPIED. I WANT TO USE ONE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET TO TURN A FULL-SIZE CUBICLE INTO A HALF-SIZE CUBICLE JUST FOR YOU.

GAAA!!! THAT'S NEVER MIND!

FORGET IT!

FURTHERMORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A HALF-SIZE CUBICLE.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
