Robot. I make him hold my pens. He does my maths.
My T-rex likes cheeseburgers. Really a lot. And palm trees.
The Office quote of the day calendar. Edvard Munch mouse pad. The reading of the quotes has become a much-anticipated office event.
Sometimes I get awesome scrawlings and prizes on my dry erase board. And...yet another calendar featuring The Office. Common theme: I like The Office.
I use at least one of these books every day...hoping that I will become much more smarter. And I like the Thesaurus. It sounds like a dinosaur.
When I first got this metal-pin-thing I would press my face into it and pull it away and laugh...flip it over to erase it...repeat. Then, random co-workers started coming up and pressing their faces into it. So...I don't do that anymore. It's highly unsanitary. I don't tell them that though.
Roxy. My piggy bank. I rob her for soda money. Side note: She's running low. So, if anyone in the IS department would like to contribute to Roxy's "fund", please do so at your earliest convenience.
My ING ball. I use this to study geography...and to throw at people. I also find it's a conversation piece. If you and I have not spoken about the awesomeness that is ING, we need to make it a priority. Stat.
My very own Chi Claus. This was a collaborative creation that I had nothing to do with. A surprise masterpiece...truly. And obviously the main focal point of the cubicle. Well, Chi and the Robot. Hmm...that would make a terrific children's book.
A tiny Slinky. A paperclip holder (with a dog bone paperclip that turned up mysteriously). A magnet tower of what appear to be jester-ish characters...a gift from the ladies upstairs. A sand timer. Is that what you call them? It reminds me of The Wizard of Oz. And, lastly, a green car eraser. A gift from a little boy that was in my Junior Achievement class last year. You can also throw it at people. Or make driving sounds (horns, tire squeaks, crashes) while racing it back and forth, up and down...thereby getting death rays from Staci. When that happens, my goal for the day has been accomplished. Snack time.
I didn't show you my drawer of crackers and tangled iPod stuff. Nor did I show you a drawer where I keep over 20 different colors of Play-Doh. I also have to safeguard all of my top secret files and official documents and codes. So, much has been left out. But, I hope you will take a look around where you spend most of your day and think about what...in that space...makes you happy. We spend almost 2,000 hours a year at work. If you don't have something fun...or something to throw at someone...then make it happen. You owe it to yourself.

Wow, what a cool cubicle! You can't have too much OFFICE memorabilia. Very classic.
You use the ING ball to study geography? Isn't its geography about as accurate as a RISK gameboard?
In my cube, I think people really appreciate my "Elect ELVIS PRESLEY President" poster featuring the photo of him with Nixon. It looks great next to a framed copy of the constitution...
You know... that's my face in the nail thingy. But I don't have to worry about sanitation. You know why? Because I have a perfect immune system. I can even raise and lower my cholesterol when I so choose. You may be wondering why I want to raise my cholesterol... it's so I can lower it again.
wait... I forgot you have no sense of humor. That was a joke... specifically... taken from the office. From the first season... but you probably don't get that anyways....
You forgot one thing that makes you happy... the view of me from your desk....
3 comments?! to what do i owe this honor dear co-worker? i got your joke from the office. why wouldn't i? other than loving the show...you quoted the very same line, in person, just last week. come on now. and the view of you from my desk does make me happy. most specifically when i am pointing the nerf gun at the back of your head.
ha! as a fellow cubie i can appreciate the random freebies that decorate your three carpeted walls. I have a black and flamed football that looks incredibly fast when thrown from afar; a spike-y "stress ball" which is far to spike-y to grab; a conch shell necklace that would fit five people at once or one Sumo wrestler. A Palm tree, approximately six coffee cups of different shapes and sizes and disposability as well as a Pay Day, bag of Ghardettos, and a "100 Calorie Pack" of Oreos. Along with my blue Piggy Bank I affectionately refer to as my 401k. Oh! I mustn't forget my picture of Manhattan taken in October off 2000. Priceless.
