David Gunnells of the University of Alabama at Birmingham won Wired’s recent Saddest Cubicle contest. He had to send in two pictures of his cubicle, because you can’t tell there’s really an “office” tucked behind those filing cabinets!
His desk is penned in by heavily used filing cabinets in a windowless conference room, near a poorly ventilated bathroom and a microwave. The overhead light doesn't work -- his mother-in-law was so saddened by his cube that she gave him a lamp -- and the other side of the wall is a parking garage.
Wired also has pictures of ten runners-up. http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/multimedia/2007//11/gallery_saddest_cubicle

I remember strategically placing a foil balloon so my boss wouldn't have a clear view of me from several desks over. The endless sea of desks was a depressing sight.
The other thing it could do with is detecting when you've a full line of consonants and bypassing the randomness to drop a vowel in. There are probably languages out there that can make a word from xdwtpkm, but English isn't one of them.
Perhaps if the developer gave an option. Fixed set or Open ended.
lol
I finally figured out the multiplier thingy (I know, I'm not too swift sometimes) and gaming that definitely upped my score, although the most I ever got was 600.
