The "Cube"

First day on that job:
I got assigned to a cubicle. A cubicle is like a desk, only spread out (usually) in 3 directions, boxing you in, hence the name. You get an uncomfortable chair, a computer to use, some drawers full of papers from the last employee that had that space, and some empty space for you to bring all your own little things that make "the cube" yours. Things like a stapler, pen/pencil, and calendar are not included in your cube obviously. You have to bring your own stuff. It's good to label your stuff, especially if it's important or expensive because co-workers sometimes "borrow" stuff from your cube when you're not there, as I learned.

I tell people to label their stuff with masking tape and a marker for best results with labels such as "MINE" or "LEAVE ME HERE" or "[insert name] will be angry if you take me". One time I left for lunch and came back to find my $100 calculator missing. After asking around the place for about half an hour I found the perp. They said they "were bringing it right back". This is where I learned to label my stuff.
