Finally, we have found a product that addresses those embarrassing moments: the Cubicaller.
The brainchild of Mike Mussoline, a software engineer in California, the cubicaller is a doorbell for your cubicle. It comes with 12 sounds. The device attaches to any cubicle surface with double-sided self-adhesive velcro. It costs $11.99 at www.cubicaller.com.
If you were wondering whether your co-workers will think the device cool or nerdy, Mussoline's Web site says yes -- on both counts.
