I've never worked in a cubicle, but I've been in an "aquarium" - that's when a part of a larger room is separated with a glass wall. It blocks out much of the noise, but privacy is lacking, obviously. The university is pretty lax about how you fill your time when there is nothing else to do. They'd never say this openly, of course, it's more of a silent agreement. Soem colleagues even sell stuff (like cosmetics) to others... or make astrological predictions. Yes, it's just as crazy as it sounds.

Most of my movie-watching is a kind of catching up with all the stuff I wanted to watch in the 90's but missed for one reason or another. My inner younger me is pleased. Then there's also movies I collect because I associate them with good memories from the past. And it's a way to re-experience this, even if only for a fleeting moment (just like playing very old games can bring back old memories and emotions).

We've come a long way from the days when games were advertised with messages like "Has more than 1MB of graphics!!!" Yes, this was a thing in the very early 1990's :P

Oh, I know what it feels like when your family gets clingy. Luckily, only my grandparents are prone to this. My folks are wise enough to know that each generation should live in its own place... and I believe they are quite right about this. My relations with both of them have been much better and smoother since I moved out.
