I just moved into a new cubicle.

The process was for us to have everything packed up into these big sturdy orange plastic stackable crates by 5pm yesterday. Movers would come in during the night and have everything relocated into our new cubicles by 9am this morning. My move happened to be one row over from my old location.

But I am not writing about the actual move. I am writing about this great idea I had for an introduction to an episode of CSI:

• Scene: harried tech workers grumbling about yet another cubicle move, stuffing all their office things into big sturdy orange plastic stackable crates. Everyone goes home for the night and movers come in to move things.
• Scene: next morning, a late-arriving office worker comes in to his new cube with all his crates stacked up. He opens the first crate and unpacks miscellaneous office things. He has trouble opening the second crate because the lid is somehow stuck closed. He eventually pries it open and stares into the now-lifeless eyes of an unidentified person.
• Crime Scene Unit arrives on the scene to take pictures, interview witnesses, etc. Gil Grissom (or Horatio Caine, or Mac Taylor) comes on the scene and makes the usual predictable witty remark: “Looks like someone was worked to death.”
• Cut to introductory sequence with the “Who” theme song.
