Ok, so I've got my own office, right?

here it is. Someone asked for pictures of my last one, but I never got to it. HOwever, the other day I had the company Nikon in my hands and I thought I'd take some shots.

In this you'll see, on the right, the "spare desk" which has a computer that I supposedly use to see if our rental instruments are working ok. This doesn't always work out and I have the technicians do that for me (so I can do things like read instead). This desk then has become a display stand for an archaic monitor and a place for me to put all the papers I don't want on mine, as well as a very fancy case for this camera (the same case is used for our MiniScan hand-held instruments). There's a white board too, which I don't think is visible in the shot. This I could use to make me look important, like i have things going on, but mostly I use the tray to store screwdrivers and cleaning stuff.
On the left you can see the edge of the divider that separates me from the third desk. This has a computer the techs sometimes use for email, but generally isn't used at all, though it is always on.
right next to that, you can see my personal fax and the messy state in which I keep my desk. Behind that is my fancy black chair. Behind that, a bookcase full of notebooks which no one uses, since they contain manuals for instruments and software that have been depricated for years.

In the middle, you can see the window sill. here's a closeup. Note the battle royale. Unfortunately, despite the much huger space I work in now, I also have tons of stuff filling up most of that space, so I don't have all my 3.5" scale figures (GI Joe and Star Wars, mostly) here at work. They duke it out on my desk at home. However, the 6" scale figures are all here: the X-Men, Spidey and pals, etc (including Eowyn and Aragorn) tangle good here. My favorite is how Donatello, taking down a foot soldier, is about to be hugged to death by Gumby.

Then there's also the wall next to my desk. Note the classy LotR: FotR poster, over which are the last of my marvel figures on the display stands they were meant to be on. Left to Right, we've got The Scarlet Spider, movie version Mary Jane Watson, classic Spider-Man, Classic Daredevil, The Punisher, and Gambit (that's a hand for a Sentinel... I think the thing is supposed to be a stand on a desk or shelf, but it has a hook for hanging, so I hanged with the rest). On the left is my computer with a usb cable coming out. Yes, that's the Conan RPG sitting there under the apple. I only read on my lunch break. At least, read books, electronic manuscripts are another issue entirely. You also get more manuals, ones that I actually use this time.

So there, more info than you ever wanted about my work day.

Here in America we have things called trees.  Lots of trees.  Like as many trees as you have sheep. Some of the trees grow apples, and some of the trees that grow apples grow yellow apples.

So... you're saying trees can grow sheep?

No, you CLONE sheep.  You grow apples.

CLONE sheep.  Grow apples.   But do you grow children as cloning them is illegal?

Eh. SE obviously failing to show the drawer of illegal monkey pr0n in his desk.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

his picture on the left hand collumn is an example, he assumed you didn't wanna see more.  Apparently he was wrong, eh?

Of course we grow children.  We grow them in the cabbage patch.  Highly marketable that way.
