If anyone is missing from Cubicle Row today, they just may be hangin' with their clothes. A normally normal man in Germany didn't show up at the decorating firm where he worked, and no one could get in touch with him. Alarmed by the reliable employee's suspicious absence, the firm sent police to his house -- where they found him sitting in his armoire. He told them he couldn't handle going into the office that day and just needed some peace and quiet. Haven't we all been there? Well, maybe not in the armoire.
