I have pics of my kids all over, my Lost (Todd McFarlane figures) in less then work appropriate poses, music posters, and my nice tea pot. Thankfully mine is double the size you have pictured.

Then there the goat that I sacraficed a while ago to help win the lottery. I probably need to move that out.

I am sitting in a large one right now- I have postcards on the walls, a bamboo plant, and a tiny, inch-high gold buddha.  coupla pictures. glow in the dark concert poster from philly.

never realized my asian decor fixation till I spelled it out here. feng shui indeed!

I like to have the feel of "stay the fuck away from Mike. He's craaaaaaanky". I find less work gets dumped on me  ;D

Seriously though, just make it feel like you want it. As long as there isn't anything that can be construed as offensive (like the aforementioned sacrificial goat) then it would be fine. Remember, you're the one that has to sit there for 8 hours a day. Make it comfortable for you.

Now if they try to take my ipod dock out, I'm hurtin someone.

ah, the cubicle days.  since i got my own office 6 years ago, it's adorned with MMJ posters, pics of Amelia and family members, plants, a Rubik's Cube, refridgerator, coffee pot, Lebowskifest paraphanelia, and my vintage 1960's battleship grey standard government issue L shaped desk, just like the one I had when I was in the Army...everyone hates my desk since it's so old and (as they put it) "ugly".  Hell, I found it in the basement in storage...I think I saved them like $600 on a new desk!

It's so great to be able to (ahem) relieve gaseous pressures without fear of embarassment or reprisal when one has their own office.  Esp. after a long Mexican food lunch.   ;)

'...and this is my dad, brad...'

you will probably find that people are more interested in college football than you think- they just need visual cues. decorate away!

Crap, that's the other stuff that is everywhere. I have Husker posters and schtuff in strategic places. Kinda dangerous to have Husker stuff in St Louis which is Tiger Country. It stands out.

I miss my office. Had one in my last role for 3 years and it was nice. Close the door, crank the ipod up, and drone the rest of the world out so I could work.

I have a shipping room, a studio, a lobby desk, but I don't have a cubicle. There are nine cubicles upstairs and I've always wanted one of my own to decorate and be left alone.
