Thursday Poll: Items in your Office, Cubicle, or Work Space

1) Funny you pick that out. People always ask about that. I'm assuming you don't really want my spiel.
2) The phones are great, rarely have issues.
3) They don't do camel cash anymore. Damn it.
4) Yes it is. Something a coworker threw together. It's an accommodation for being cool.
Chipmunk with bead necklace with a pin on it that says hug a squirrel day, to be exact.
several years ago they locked away all the good office stuff. Gotta go get the admin with the key if you want a stapler or nice binder.
About 18 months ago I moved and sit by one of the admins now. The Staples boxes come directly to her and she opens them to sort out and put wherever. I will freely admit the last time she did this I went through the pile of post-its and pulled out all the pink ones.
Also a couple highlighters. I think I have 3-4 pads of sticky notes in my drawer right now. I love office supplies.
I have a space heater that runs always, several sticky notes, thank you post cards from an annual event I help with, one copy of an engagement picture (nope, no nicely framed wedding pics of our wedding...........almost 4 years ago), and things to put things in.
Oh, and I hoard candy in a drawer but rarely eat it. But for the bad days. Or if I get locked in my office. I'll survive a solid few days.
oh, and a little pink frog sticky thing. He's cute.
and a wall calendar, but I don't really use it. I use my planner.

Same thing at my work. We used to have access to the supply room, but now an admin has to open it up. When they do open it, we all scurry in there like a bunch of roaches and go through everything.
- a pic of the wife and me
- jeep poster
- Harley Davidson bar and shield magnet
- Iowa State mini football helmet (which was great when the Hogs were struggling and we were at least decent, now
not so much)
- Captain Spaulding bobblehead (fantasy football team name)

I voted motivational poster, but what it actually is is a despair.com demotivator calendar. So I guess it actually counts as motivational poster, funny poster, and calendar all in one item.
To go along with my demotivator calendar and the usual office stuff (computer, phone, supplies, manuals, etc):
My wedding announcement in the QC Times, my wedding photo, a picture of my wife and daughter, and 3 other pictures of my daughter, one from when she was a toddler all in her ISU gear
A John Holliday Iowa State poster (name might not mean anything or it may)
An ISU pennant
My ISU novelty plate from when I lived in Iowa
Another store bought ISU novelty plate
An Iowa State University highway sign my sister had custom made for me for Christmas one year (apparently from Detrot to Iowa State it's 641 miles)
2 ISU helmets
A Detroit Tigers small stuffed Paws mascot, a Tigers baseball, and a Tigers ice cream helmet
A Minnesota Twins small stuffed TC mascot, a Twins baseball, and a Twins ice cream helmet
A Torii Hunter bobble head I got from a Kellogg's cereal box while working at ISU Dining
The 5 small stuffed Milwaukee Brewers racing sausages
A New York Mets Citi Field inaugural season baseball
A Quad City River Bandits baseball
A plain baseball that I like to squeeze when my mouse hand gets tight
A Ty stuffed bear wearing Army camo also wearing a St. Patrick's Day hat
A pewter M777 howitzer ornament
My nameplate surrounded by a stuffed Cy, the North High School mascot, a U.S. flag, and a U.S. Army flag
A wind up flipping Yoda that I got from Burger King a decade ago
A Toothless dragon toy my daughter gave to me after I bought her a big one from Build A Bear
Several random drawings I have done
A desk fan
The really random one - I created my wife as a character in Guild Wars 2, so I have a portrait from her in the game hanging on my desk wall. Need to do the same with my daughter since I did the same with her.
I'd take a picture, but that's banned where I work

Just left an office I had been in for 10 years. Accumulated a lot of pictures of kids and wife, along with teams I sponsored/coached. Had a big whiteboard that got used early to doodle football plays and keep prospects on until I realized the windows worked just as well.
Magnetic dartboard on the back of my door.
Mini fridge with ample supply of diet dew in front and various beers and bourbon in the back.
Bunch of football plaques from state title winning teams I coached and others from teams I played on.
Several signed footballs in cases from big games
(Funny I put all those up but never put up my work stuff)
Coach Thomas football pic
bunch of books that I was given that look good in the bookcase but I'm not sure I ever read.
Couple monitors
Best thing today is right outside my office- Its Popcorn Friday

When one of my bosses and I worked at a former employer's, he was out the night before with some business clients and got smashed.
He showed up late to work the next day, and there on his desk was a cardboard box, filled with his personal effects, and a note telling him to see the manager.
First, he vomited, then stopped by the manager's office -- who knew nothing about the whole deal. We still play really mean pranks on each other.
Work office - very little other than work related stuff. I'm not there too often during the week (travelling), so I don't get too caught up in trying to decorate it.
Home office - Reds, Bengals, Cyclones memorabilia; pics of my family, pics of my last dogs (haven't had any since we lost them 5 years ago, but pictures are still up); lots of books, TV, my ISU diploma, pic of 3 Stooges posing with golf clubs (Golf with your Friends).
