I only have 3 monitors but the dude next to me has 5.
Lots of food in my drawers
A metal cabinet full of haphazardly thrown together electronics with bare wires ect all over the place. Its likely a fire hazard which is why its in the cabinet and not where people can see it :D.
I do have a mousepad with a picture of my kid when he was 1year old wearing ISU stuff. I counted that as like 3 categories in the poll.

My desk is very similar. Lots of Pop Funko. Lots of Legos. Lots of miniature footballs and basketballs.

Pop Funko is where it's at. My wife usually gets me some sort of classic action figure for Christmas, and they end up coming to work. For the longest time, I had these on a shelf:

transformers-choppers-boba-fetts-outlaw-chopper.jpg

but then my daughter visited me and fell in love with them, so they had to come home and live in her playroom.

I'm the only one with a candy bowl so far? Which is basically empty at the moment so no one visits me unless they want me to do something.

I have a calendar on the wall because I need it for the Julian dates.

I have a knock off Magic 8 Ball that I used to make people check with before they could ask me to do something for them. Damn thing always said yes :mad:

He'll never get over that second place ribbon. He keeps it at his workstation as a constant reminder of how he disgraced the family name.

I have a white board that visitors (mostly my daughters' friends) leave me notes on. Don't think I ever wrote on it myself.

I picked a bunch off that list.

I also have:

- an old school rolodex with numbers of people that have probably long-since retired or no longer work for that same company anymore. I'm just not motivated to go through it.

- various medicine; aspirin, sudafed, some cough drops, antacid

- a bottle opener, just in case the beer fairy stops by

Lot's of paper. I work at the base of an enormous paper glacier. Also lots of coffee cups. And more paper

Picture of nieces. Picture of the Evil Monkey. Picture of Jack in Chinatown with an uncomplimentary caption about one of our sister offices. Picture of me getting an award from the LTC, probably for xx years service without punching anyone. A pile of Swedish fish. One mumified orange (office is drier than the Sahara).

Just moved to a new cubicle. All I have right now is a calendar from 2014 that whoever sat here before left for me to enjoy.
Confession time: my company issues a nice pen to employees after they've been with the company for 1 year. Any time someone gets fired/quits, they leave it on their desk and I'm right there to pick it up. I have 5 of them (plus my own, which is sitting at home). It's kind of morbid, really. Almost like some type of hunting trophy/ears necklace. Can't say I'm proud of it, but gives me some strange joy.

Most unique things:
unopened can of Slurm
graphite-epoxy composite blocks I made while a research asst in Black Engr
"Aerothermodynamics of Gas Turbine and Rocket Propulsion" by Gordon C. Oates


I never use the book in my job, but I assume the title impresses people.

Best thing about those two chili awards? No beans in either of his entries. BOOM.

I forgot. On my desk I have a candle warmer for my over-sized coffee cup and a two year old can of salmon.
