flexagon30 monthly subway passes, dated between 1999 and 2002
Spackle and a spackle spreader (oh yeah, that hole in the office wall!)
Lavender oil
Four 3-cent stamps
Diskette with naked pictures of me on it (oh, brilliant thing to have at work)
Complimentary pass to the gym I went to 3 years ago
2 pairs of emergency earrings
Emergency hair brush, tooth brush, pantiliners, cough drops, nylons....
4 paperclips bent straight for getting computers to eject CDs
A recipe for raspberry scones
Two pairs of sandals (suboptimal Tevas, and a cheap pair from Payless)
Hmm. I'm duly amused, and also tempted to start up again with overanalyzing how much personal stuff I want in my workspace (talking now about visible stuff, not the stuff in the desk). I could have next to nothing, keeping distractions low and businesslike attitude total; I could have lots of toys like another MIT geek here does; I could basically make myself at home here or choose to keep my real self somewhere else entirely. I guess I'll get a chance to decide all over again in my new office. I do know I want to be neater than I've been, and having less stuff always helps with that. T and I may want a plant though.
How much do you decorate your work area? If you quit today, would it be easy to grab your personal things and go, or would you have more than a box worth?
