Whatever you do, don’t give her a [poster of toddlers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_Resolution_(The_Office_episode)) playing musical instruments. My only personal decoration is a Heifer International calendar and a small printout of “[CHANGE](http://www.despair.com/changewinds.html)” at [despair.com](http://despair.com). So a nice useful object like a calendar or fun post-its or something. A small plant is nice too. ---

It’s kitsch. It’s the opposite of art. It destroys art. It destroys souls. This is so much more offensive to me than hardcore porno.” ---

My cubicle is guarded by a paper star destroyer, AT-ST, and (badly damaged) AT-AT built from free plans on [this site](http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~sf-papercraft/Gallery/Gallery.html). They’re not the ideal decorations for everyone though, as assembly takes a long time and they project a certain geeky image which might not be desirable in all professions. ---

The outer wall of my current office is glass - so I use colored glass and my Bonsai Contingent. ---

[QUOTE=Hal Briston] Well, I telecommute now, so my office looks like the standard home office. When I was a cube-dweller, my space looked like [this](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/index.php?album=Work). [/QUOTE] That’s a big fuckin’ cube, dude. You musta been Mr. Big Shot! I had a dart gun in my cube and I would photoshop/print out sweet pictures to cheer up/pick on folks. ---

Pix from my travels: Glacier NP, Death Valley, Año Nuevo, Red Rock Canyon, Olympic NP, Yosemite, Zion, two photos of The Who ( '80 and '06 versions), Promo poster from Floyd’s _“Pulse”_ DVD, mini-CD from Nick Lowe’s _“The Convincer”_, rubber “the best safety tool” squeezy-brain, origami swan, 1984 Life Magazine (with The Beatles on the cover), two smiley-face hors-d’œuvre pick-thingies.
