What does your workspace look like?

So I'm bored today and lookin round my cubicle and I've got some silly things about to keep me happy all the livelong day.

A list of things on and around my desk:

a flyer for the 2001 Celebration
pic of me and 3 friends in front of the Eiffel Tower
pic of me and 9 friends on a plane to Vegas
pic of me at the gates of Graceland
Tim Burgess' (of the Charlatans) and Damon Alburn's (of Blur) authographs
a Casper the friendly ghost finger puppet
Radiohead Hail to the Thief release promo thingy that looks like a subway card
Love and Rockets postcard
pic of friends while we were in LA
pic of my friend Pamela when we were in New York
pic of me and Joey Lawrence giggle
pic from a Halloween past with the ladies of Heart, Underdog and Sweet Polly Purebred, a devil and me as Tracy Turnblad
a little toy motorcycle filled with yucky candy I never eat
a little silver Target toy shopping cart, filled with more yucky candy I don't eat and always hope someone will pick up on their way by my desk
bubbles in a pink heart shaped container (I blow bubbles when I'm really bored or really stressed)
a card from one of my direct reports that I received on boss's day
a bunch of calendars and graphs that I need for my job that are pretty boring

My office is full of crap. I have shelves on one wall FILLED with pictures of my friends and family. I have an ivy plant that hangs down over it all. One wall is covered with Red Sox World Champion articles and pictures from news papers. Another wall has more pics of me and my friends and pictures of Prince from his old calendar that I ripped out. And lots of other junk junk junk!

Besides my "work stuff"...

In my little office, little being the operative word, on my bulletin board over my desk, I have a picture of Janet from the janet. era ("Again" still), a picture of my boyfriend, a picture of me and my best friends in Florida from our senior trip, and a picture of my doggies (Susie and Lou). On my wall I have a mirror and a Marilyn Monroe calendar. Right now I also have my Christmas cards on display.

'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance... well, they're no friends of mine.

Well, my pc of course. Tons of work related books. my stupid calendar. my phone, files upon files upon files, post its, my cell phone charger stand, geo maps, a dry erase board and my sony CLIE that I leave on picture mode (it just cycles through all my photos on my memory stick, it's really quite awesome.)

Oh, my cd player of course, it's on low as ALOT of the music I listen to has curses or topics not really for the work place.

On my desk is my PC, my PDA, a phone, some bridal magazines, tons of papers (a messy desk is a sign of genius, you know...), a pen-holder made by one of my nieces, and a box of protein bars.

On my bulletin board is a picture of Audrey Hepburn with a font that I'm thinking of using for an ad, a Bruce Springsteen calendar (which was a gift), some business cards (including one from a bridal shop owner in England and another from the president of one of the lines we carry (they're based in Barcelona), the measurements of a friend of mine (she's getting married) and a clipping from a Tom Waits interview where he's asked about his wife:

She was going to be a nun, she was an opera singer, and a newscaster. She plays piano like Liberace and Glenn Gould, she's a tree-surgeon and a ventriloquist, she can even take the engine apart on the truck. And she's a bathing beauty.
