My collection of Andrew Bell Android figurines (including some really rare ones -- Snowman, Vampire, and Cai Shen Dao)
My genuine Lexmark Model M keyboard with Trackpoint
My Logitech G700 mouse
My "Black Cats" calendar
The solid-state refrigerator large enough to hold 4 cans of Diet Mountain Dew
And, of course... moi.
The sad irony is that the best office I ever had was at the first company I worked for after graduating from college -- 17th floor, corner office, in downtown Coral Gables (Florida) with a view of Biscayne Bay (several miles away, but I could see boats and water anyway). Obviously, it was a dotcom company that spared no expense (and unfortunately, went bankrupt ~9 months later). What kind of sucks is that every office I've had since that point has been worse than the one before. I went from my own 17th-floor ~180sf corner office with frosted glass door, multiple windows, and a view to die for to an office that was still my own, but had no windows to the outside (just a window into another room with a window), to a slightly better office that I had to share with 3 others, to a cube adjacent to a big wall of windows, to a cube within view of a window, to a half-height cube half the size that's barely big enough to put three 24" monitors side-by-side, and I had to practically threaten to quit if I didn't at least get a cube within sight of a window with a view of the outside. Sigh. I'm obviously doing something wrong. My work environment keeps getting worse and worse with every step I'm supposedly taking UP the career ladder
