I found the way to determine if you're a lowly grunt or not in the company! Simple!

For a while at my last job, I was truly a god.

To trim the story to manageable lengths, I still had a cubicle but never used it, as I did all of my work on a laptop anywhere in the building I could find a network jack. There was a hallway near the back of the building that used to lead to some conference rooms, but after a redesign and renovation, it was a dead-end hallway. Thirty feet deep, ten feet wide, with some abandoned cubicles along one side and assorted office equipment at the end.

I moved back there and created the desk of which Plato speaks when he says that all other desks are but mere imitations of the ideal.

It was impossible to sneak up on me. Hell, it was nearly impossible to find me. And it was impossible to call me, as the extension at that jack was long-forgotten, and no one except me knew the numbers to the four Nokia cellphones I carried for testing purposes.

I spent about two weeks in that heaven on earth. I was more productive in those weeks than in any other month.

Then, of course, someone complained, and I was forced to move to a traditional cubicle.

I got him back, though … him and that little boy of his.

I’m very sorry but you forgot one very important thing.

Your screen can be away from the traffic stream but can be facing the windows meaning reflection when its dark outside (all winter long).

So you can make a graduation

you are a low grunt if your screen is facing the traffic stream
you are a medium low grunt if your screen is facing the window (reflection)
you are a medium grunt if your screen is facing the windows but you have drapes!!!

you are a total loser if your company does not allow you to have a computer

or like me … I have a 21 Inch facing the traffic stream, reflecting drapeless windows and having my boss right behind me thinking I’m typing a very important report at this very moment.

Shit he saw me because of my large font

It was fun working here

I’m amazed that no-one else has remarked on how disturbing this is. Are you sure your boss isn’t trying to tell you something, Milton?

I don’t use a computer at work. What does that mean?

Well, actually, I share a dozen or so computers with everyone else in the lab, so none of them are mine. Nor do they belong to anyone else, despite what some people may think…

But, if it helps, I AM in charge of backing up all the data!

I just wanted to point out that if you were truly a lowly grunt that you probably would not even have a computer.
