My office is okay; maybe I could get them to Pimp My Garage?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you hate your office (or cubicle), why not at least make it pay for you?

I’m not one of those people who hates his office; I’m actually pretty fond of mine, other than the old credenza-bookcase-y thing that I swiped from another lawyer’s office when he left; I needed more shelf space for files and so I took it but other than the fact that it has a top, it’s more or less useless to me as the drawers are too small and/or weird-shaped to put anything in, and the middle, where there’s a cupboard, had a door fall off.  (I use that space to hold my lunch, and a ball that the boys like to play with on Sundays.)(Professional!)

But the point is, my office is where I spend 50 hours a week or so, so I’ve made sure I like it: it’s got a nice desk, an okay chair, pictures and toys and books and stuff.  But I know I’m lucky: not many people get a great office like mine, with a great view of the alley behind the building where they can watch underemployed actors at the local community theater hanging out in costume and smoking.  (I said I like my office, not the view.)

If you hate your office, or cubicle, or temporary workspace (does anyone get that joke anymore?), then the Pimp My Cube contest is for you.

The Pimp My Cube Contest wants to see your pathetic, messy, disorganized, leaky, moldy, cluttered, badly-furnished, whatever work space, and they’re giving away $1,200 in prizes to people who have poor work conditions like that.

What you have to do is take a video showing why your work place is terrible – the funnier the better – and submit it by uploading so that the people at the Contest Factory can take a look at it. Film your office, your clutter, your grungy co-workers, your trash, and give it a commentary, and then, once it’s uploaded, tell your friends and family and coworkers to vote your office the worst ever.

The Contest Factory Pimp My Cube Sweepstakes will judge the videos based on votes and points and video quality and compelling storylines, giving away three prize packages:

o New high end computer system
o New Desk, Chair and Decorations
o New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

The uploading is easy, and the contest goes until the end of January, and since it’s just beginning there’s no videos yet so you’ve got a excellent chance of winning.  And, people who don’t make the top three can win a second-prize $200 gift card chosen by random drawing.

So before January 31, go to the PMC site, register, upload your video, and get your buddies to vote on your video.
