I have a lot of “urgent” emails that I need to catch up on at the moment. Of course, the “wally” rule about urgency always never ceases to be true (leave any urgent task 7 days and most of the time it becomes obsolete)—You’ve seen that Dilbert strip right? Its one of the ones I have thumb-tacked up in my cubicle.
What sorts of things do you have decorating your office? Mine is almost littered with comic strips, animal posters, “green living things” (ie. indoor houseplants that can tolerate torments of abuse like lack of light and inconsistent watering), little colorful items like a stuffed Dilbert someone gave me, annual cerebral palsy fundraiser thank you gifts, miniature origami, plastic flower leis. It all gives a little color and life to the otherwise drab “cubicle blue” space that I spend so much time in.
