Cubicle Safari

No need to travel to the far reaches of Africa for a safari, the office cubicle is just as interesting and dangerous.  See engineers, accountants, analysts and interns all in their natural habitat.  Wander down to the coffee machine to observe communication and socialization.  Just be careful to avoid the red-faced manager, that species can get mighty cranky.
