Desk decorations
-
I just added a new desk decoration. I was reading my MSDN magazine and there was a CP ad with a picture of Bob! So I cut him out and he's taped to my desk. My cubicle is kind of a mess of stuff including the following: 1. A calendar with bugs as art 2. Art prints of puffins 3. Numerous picture frames filled with pics of cats and birds 4. One pic of me and Kori with a page flag pointing to Kori's head saying "Missing Information." 5. A Micrsoft paint drawing Kori did of my "brain." At least the "Programming" portion is bigger than TV. But not as large as "Animals." 6. My scrapbook of my trip to Puerto Rico when I need to go to my Happy Place. 7. An art drawing of a squirrel and a photograph of my squirrell family at my old house. 8. Visual Studio posters of different classes. 9. A postcard that says "Don't Be a Jerk." 10. A BASF insert to someting with holes that said, "Your project is full of holes." I scratched out "your project" and wrote "my mind." 11. Darth Tater 12. A cutout of Yoda with a light sabre. 13. Pop and water bottles. 14. Over 20 books---most I don't use since they include things like COBOL and JavaBeans. But I ran out of room at home. 15. A toy prairie dog with a sign that reads, "Feed me and die!" 16. Yummy Purell. 17. A week's worth of Ramen noodles, Veggie chips and soybeans. 18. Standard office stuff like say, a computer. 19. Headphones and CDs so I don't have to listen to my neighbor tap his feet ALL FRIGGIN DAY! So what fun stuff do you have in your cubicle?
Decoration - what's that? :confused: Mostly junk and stuff I need to work.

0. My ergonomicaly/egonomically correct chair. 1. Telephone. Verbal communication seems so gauche, don't you think? 2. Pictures of my wife and daughter :love:. 3. A plaque I got on Father's Day a couple of years ago :rose:. 4. In the desk, my collection of around 300 CD's. A wretched hive of scum and villainy, consisting mainly of an embarassing amount of smooth jazz, 70's funk, and 80's pop. These are played on my daughter's old portable CD player through my $160 Sony studio headphones that never seem to get stolen (even though my cubicle neighbor's $5 ear buds have been ripped off 3 times). 5. A picture my daughter drew of someone canoeing in the mountains :love:. 6. HP LaserJet 2100 printer. Yes, Virginia, HP can do something right. 7. PC (it ain't much, and the squirrel inside has learned to love the whip). 8. Two 21" CRT's. Yes, I said CRT's. That corner of the desk bows down a little. 9. A cardboard box of miscellaneous cables and I/O cards. 10. A horizontal file cabinet containing the mysteries of the universe (one drawer of CD's, one of floppies, one of paper files, and one that's currently storing/not storing Schrödinger's[^] Cat). 11. A candy jar on top of the file cabinet with a label that says "Help Yourself". The jar is an open-ended bribe to my co-workers. The current stock of caramels is getting low, much to the dismay of my boss. 12. My guest chair, which no one uses. They all sit on the file cabinet. 13. A book case. The bottom shelf is for stuff related to my DOS-era projects. The next to the bottom shelf has stuff related to my OS/2-era projects, along with overflow from the bottom shelf. The second shelf is empty except for the MSDN DVD binder. The top shelf has my 'paper-to-be-dumped-in-the-recycle-bin' pile. 14. A long-suffering ivy plant that should be in therapy due to the chronic neglect and abuse.

Mine's all functional, I'm afraid. The usual stuff; books, wall-hung water bottle, some straw and cedar shavings on the floor, and a bowl of nuts and alfalfa granola in a bowl by the phone. Oh, and a computer.:sigh: Boring, huh? I think I'll go play on the wheel thingy for a bit...

Huh. Lucky you - you get a wheel :suss:. All I get is an old, broken-down four-poster bed and a dresser where people keep leaving $10 bills.

I'm comfortable with what I called organized clutter. My desk at home has four stacks of things; stuff to be shredded, bills and bank statements, long term notes and crap I may need, but dont' want to file (they sit on my scanner.) By contrast, at my jobs, except for the latest pictures of my four kids on the wall, my desks always look like nobody works there. I'm not sure the entire reason I'm so obsessed with doing this, I just do. (Part of the reason, and this is serious, is that I've learned that when you get laid off, it's much easier if you can carry all your stuff out in one arm full.) (During one summer vacation, as a joke while at the beach, my wife bought me a postcard of a babe in a bikini, so I put it in a bookcase at my job in such a way that only I could see it. One day the CEO came in and sat down to talk about something and looked over and saw it. I'm still not sure she believed my explanation, but I didn't lose my job over it. [I lost it several months later when I told the COO that he was an incompetent moron (amongst other things, he forgot to cancel a lease and cost the company $85,000.)])

1. A PC that makes as much noise as an 747 taking off 2. 21" CRT + 19" LCD 3. A phone. Actually, it's an IP phone with about 50 buttons, of which I use precisely 10 4. Quick reference charts for VHDL syntax, Ruby syntax and the ARM instruction set 5. Various printouts of Dilbert :cool: 6. A hardware block diagram of the project I'm working on at the moment 7. Half a rainforest of paper 8. A cup; currently empty but usually contains a varying quantity of water 9. A copy of the company's emergency evacuation procedures (I'm a fire warden and first aid officer) 10. A bright red fire-warden's hard-hat 11. A green first-aid officer's hard-hat (somehow I'm supposed to wear both at once in an emergency situation...) 12. Two boxes of junk that I have no idea what it is, how it got there or what it's for 13. Various cables and wires for the hardware stuff I work on. 14. A desk. 15. A whiteboard 16.

A mango tree that I've been trying to get bigger than about a foot tall for about 6 years, a giant pillow for the cats so they will stay off my keyboard, and a circa 1950's barometer embedded in lucite.
You have a mango tree *indoors*? :wtf: No wonder it isn't growing. :suss:

My desk is clean by comparison, -Phone lists everywhere (no one here has heard of those database things yet) -Couple of maps of the country. -Severity Guidelines. -Printed copies of up coming CMRs and Completed CMRs. -Dilbert Calendar. -Coffee Thermos & bottle of water. -An old pop can I use as a spittoon -I keep various snacks in the desk, crackers, ritz bits, candy bars (depends on what’s going for cheap at the store). Just something to snack on so I don’t hit the vending machine. -A case of Soda Mountain dew. Now that I bring in water it lasts about a month -A handful of E-Week magazines.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

At work: I have a picture of my wife At Home: I have picture of my wife, a blown glass square-rigged sailing ship in a bottle (I like 18th century sailing ships), and some nascar diecast. I bet Link2006 has a bunch of pictures of girls he's never dated (and those pictures were probably snapped without the subjects being aware).

For Christmas a couple of years ago, my wife gave me a huge calendar of various sailing ship paintings from the 1700's and 1800's. The intent was for me to have may favorite pics out of the calendar framed in any way I chose (which is kind of scary because my abilities with colors have long been critisized by everyone that knows me). It cost $500, but I finally got around to it early this year. I'll take some pics and post them on my web site.

Well, my cubicle is comparatively decent. i have the following. 1. My Water bottle which i fill up thrice in a day. 2. my phone at cubicle which I use to dial any of my dozen gfs . :) (which is my best companion when i am tired of the monitor) 3. My MCAD certificate, posted on the cubicle wall. ( u wont believe it, all of my colleagues stare at it, and ask me if it really has the Gates signature :) ) well, i take it as a compliment. ..lol 4. a notepad and pen. 5. My cubicle wall, filled with phone nos of my colleagues, and the quote, " A winner is not one who never fails but one who NEVER QUITS." Thats all in my neat, clean cubicle.

You have a mango tree *indoors*? :wtf: No wonder it isn't growing. :suss:

Yeah we started it from a pit about 6 years ago when we lived way up north just off the Alaska highway, no hope for it outside there. Then we moved to the west coast and it's doing better but it's only about a foot high. It's a houseplant, I doubt it would ever flower on it's own, nice leaves though.

Obviously, I'm missing something. Mangoes are native to India. Though I've heard they are grown in the West Indies, I believe it's not very common in the US. Are you talking about the same Mango trees[^] as I am?
Cheers, Vikram.
