Spider Fence

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Whoops, that’s not right, let’s try again:

The inmates workers were growing tired of the bland décor with everyone closely packed in identical cubicles and decided to do something. However, there were rules that must be followed. The overloads benevolent organizational leaders decreed the no changes were allowed in the size, placement, and orientation of the holy cubicles, so the workers had to look elsewhere to improve the drab surroundings in which they toiled.

The solution was to not break the rules, but rather to bend them as far as possible, and window decorations were introduced. The inmates workers understood that spiders were critical to this effort. So the ever-changing display improved the life of those toiling away in their holy cubicles, and also other inmates workers when they escaped relaxed during their lunch break.

But soon a plague came upon the land, stopping everything both far and wide. Bridges were empty. Restaurants closed. Sterile office buildings stood empty. The inmates workers were declared ”non-essential” and told to create their own holy cubicles in their homes. This sad state of affairs persisted for months and months. But finally, the call went out from the overloads benevolent organizational leaders that the inmates workers could visit the holy cubicles once again, but, as expected, there were rules that must be followed. One visitor at a time, always wear a mask, keep the visit short, and collect only those items needed by inmates workers to better serve the overloads benevolent organizational leaders.

The inmates workers, being reasonable human beings, understood that weird spider-themed decorations are core to all production improvement, so they declared the long dormant window decorations as “essential” and removed them from the land of the holy cubicles. The rest, as we say, is history.
