The search to fill the "King of Cubicles” position starts today, to celebrate the launch of The Game Factory's Rubik's World game for Nintendo Wii and DS this fall.

Wasting time is the sole on-the-job responsibility of the "King of Cubicles,” and The Game Factory is offering the following compensation package for the qualified applicant:

• An annual salary of $7,326 (based on a national survey of slacker salaries)
• The Game Factory branded electric car (because this person is obviously smart enough to protect the environment)
• Snazzy business cards (because this person will need to hand out a phone number when ladies ask about his cool ride)
• Nintendo Wii console (so this person can get their "game on” on the job)
• The Game Factory Rubik's World video game for the Nintendo Wii and DS systems

"The new King of Cubicles needs to be a person of substance, a real out-of-the-box thinker, and someone who can waste time like a pro. I don't mean waste a few hours. Anyone can do that. The King of Cubicles must have the ability to waste weeks – months even,” said Stainslaw Callahan, the current King of Cubicles who will be interviewing his replacement candidates. "Whoever replaces me will have big shoes to fill, but I'm confident the right candidate will come along.”

This is a one-year contract position at The Game Factory, where the new hire will "work” from home. Since this job comes with absolutely no responsibility, the new King of Cubicles will be paid monthly and receive job perks, all in exchange for going on with life as usual. This person can continue to go to school, or work, or do absolutely nothing with their lives, and they will still receive all of the benefits of being the King of Cubicles.

Interested applicants can apply at www.kingofcubicles.com and should be prepared to participate in an interactive online interview with Callahan. Applicants who make it through the tough interview questions will be invited to submit a video resume. The best videos will be voted on by the public, which will help The Game Factory decide who will be the next "King of Cubicles.” Applicants must be over 18 years old and the winning applicant will be announced Jan. 1, 2009.
