Paragraph Holiday Party

Paragraph's annual Holiday Party rocked the space on December 18. There were cookies, there was wine, there were festive lights draped on virtually every solid object. The Holiday Fairy and Santa Claus wished the merry revelers good cheer. The only disappointment was that Christmas can't come more than once a year.

Deeply Betrayed by the Cubicle Gods

By Josie Glausiusz

Humans are territorial beasts, and so, it seems, are members of Paragraph. Myself, I like to sit in the same cubicle every time I come here: the one beside the dusty ladder leading to the roof, under the "emergency exit" sign and facing the open space. The light from the skylight shines on me, and the presence of someone curled up in a comfy chair seems sociable and soothing (unless they start snoring). Given a choice, I’d decorate my designated spot with a few family photographs and a clinging plant. Alas, there are days when some inconsiderate soul sits in "my" cubicle before I can claim it, and I am forced to skulk in a dark and claustrophobic corner.
