Cubicle work

Cubicle
Like Dilbert, I work in a cubicle, invented by R.Propst in 1968. First the system, was created/designed simply to increase the productivity of the worker, partition were mainly there to insure privacy and places to pin-up the current work... The system evolved driven by economics to pack more and more people in a given space. ( see Article in Fortunes about the fate of the cubicle).
Instead of being a Dilbert, I would probably prefer to be a Gaston Lagaffe.... -sic-
Anyway I work in a cubicle, to produce (at the end of the day) some funny features people will only see with a microscope, and use intensively to build bomb, cars... to play Rayman and to download some pornography.

HISTORY
Today (5 may) is the 25th anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands in English prison.
90 years ago the republic of Ireland raise (Easter raising, 24 April 1916) which lead to the war for independance and the creation of the Republic of Ireland.
History still present, nowaday, in the political division of the two main movements, still present in the sport with the GAA refusing to see "foreign" sports played on his ground.

And next year, Croke Park will see rugby matches ... things change ....
To summarize, there is great debate in Ireland regarding the usage of Croke Park. As the GAA was founded as an organisation to maintain and promote indigenous Irish sport, it has felt honour-bound throughout its history to oppose other, rival sports.
Up until the early 1970s, rule 27 of the GAA constitution stated that a member of the GAA could be banned from playing its games if found to be also playing football, rugby.
That rule has been abolished but a similar rule, #42, still prohibited the use of GAA ground for "foreign" games. On April 2005, the rule #42 has been relax to accomodate the impossibilty to play in Landsdowne Road (stadium refection).
