In your office
 

what kinda non essential stuff do you have in your offices?
do you have motivational posters or plants or stuff like that, or is it strictly cables, routers, and all business?

oh also.... any windows or extra rooms within the room like a kitchenette or bathroom or bar or sound booth or anything? (I've seen offices with all of these things believe it or not)

(I'm just curious about something)

I got my two towers tickets :glugglug

and offcourse all you can eat and drink :thumbsup

lava lamp
art on the walls
tv
stereo
exercise ball is a recent addition being used as a desk chair to get mid-section toned up (long way to go).

ohh I forgot and all the towns pizza and take out foot menus :1orglaugh

take out menus is a must for any office :thumbsup

condoms

Hi-Fi stereo with Quadraphonic sound!

What's an office? Fuck that.

my favorite mickey mouse doll

Amp - sooo wierd you mention sound booth. At my offices (in my actual office) I have a sound proof recording booth! I will post a pic when I get over there today!

see... I just knew somebody had a sound booth... :)

Is staring into a computer monitor all day in a darkened office better for your eyes then a well lit office?

who was the guy a while back that had the killer office that was basically all glass.... ?

glass desk.... everything... it was fuggin' awesome... I should've saved that pic.

You mean to say some of you DON'T have a bar in your office? And you call yourselves pornographers.

paper shredder and a shotgun, and a plug-in light up jackolantern. And pink mary candles.

I basically have nothing here but the essentials and a ton of equipment. Like my home, the walls are bare but I think the architecture makes up for it a bit. Eventually I'd like to add a lounge area at the front of the office, which is now occupied by Sun boxes and heaps of direct marketing materials.

black lights and strobes baby!

I have squint to see the tv on-screen guide now. :(

I think a bigger tv will help though. I have a horrible time seeing in the dark lately.

Frank, will you icq me? I had you on my list but cannot find you. I am "Morgan" on your list. If im still there. hehe

I hate motivational posters.

Hmmm. Everyone seems to have all this shit. I have a desk, 2 computers, a telephone/fax, copy machine, a window that looks out over my back property, and lots of empty unused space in the room. nothing on the walls, no facy sound system, no tv, no distractions. I'm a minimalist.
:winkwink:

voodoo dolls, wax, athames, red and black velvet curtains, sacrificial altar, assorted candles, crystals and stones, herbs, mortar and pestle, oak stave, granules, casting runes..

the usual webmaster stuff

tv... stereo... kitchenette... bathroom... bar... winter garden... roof-deck for bbq... and next month the pool table will be delivered... but I wouldn't call this stuff non essential :)

I have motivational posters on my walls as well.

well, see..... that's kinda why I was curious.... wondering how people feel about that kinda stuff in the officeplace....

does it help to have that kinda stuff around so it's not so... stark I guess, for lack of a better word right now? Can there be too much of it? or is it better to just strip it down to bare essentials and leave that kinda stuff out completely?

I'm undecided either way.... I kinda like having extra non essential stuff around to lighten things up a little.... but


ahhh fuck, I don't know.

I think a window is a big help though.... can't imagine being in a room all day with no freaking windows.


I hate those cheesy motivational posters too.... but doesn't have to be specifically those types.... could be any kind of large prints, paintings, posters, etc.... or is just bare walls better?

basicly as little as nothing

The only windows in my offices are on our computers!

Yeah, got the motivational posters here.

This thread reminds me, anyone know where I can purchase a Golden Tee 2002 machine? Right now I have '98, and it blows.

Since the office is in our living room at the moment, there are loads of non-essential items about. TV, piano, sofa, stereo, etc. The most non-essential items though - ones I wouldn't be without no matter what happens - are the cats. Their antics take my mind off working when its getting to me.

ROFL!!! Those are great man..... hehehe... :1orglaugh

I have a 65" HDTV in my "office."
:winkwink:

My office is one side of our living room... desk in the window box so I get some light while I work. So we've got all the living room stuff. At my desk, its pretty basic, though.

I currently don't see it on this system.

I work at home and if I'm in my office, my non essential dogs are in my office :thumbsup

my home "office". I do very little work from home.

I work in a "real" office...

a stocked mini fridge and my bong :glugglug

2200 square feet, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 6 offices and a launge area...........all for just 5 people!!!!!

"Gore in 97" - :1orglaugh

"Gore" was a computer game.

The sticker was a publicity...



I think its a lot funnier now than it was then ;)

Well, obviously its personal taste, but as I said, I'm a minimalist and my office reflects that. I believe in self motivation... I don't need posters to remind me that success is good. :winkwink:

As for bars, sound rooms, blah blah blah... If I don't use it to make money, I don't need it in my office. If I'm going to entertain guests for the evening, I have a full wet bar in my basement, complete with game room... so if I need to take a break I just go down there. But in the office it's all business. Except of course when I come round here. Then there's SOME fun involved. :winkwink: The view I have from my window is enough to keep me relaxed. I dont even hang "art" on the walls. They're just painted light gray and left alone...

I used to rent office space when I had several employees. But now I handle 99% of operations from my one-room home office.

The key for me is space. I wouldn't wanna be trapped in a 10x10 room all day. I've got lots of empty space here. Gives me the feeling of "endless possibilities". :winkwink:

Nice.

Cheers,
Matt

that is very nice frank..... I like it... :thumbsup

I love brick walls. So Cal is all stucco and drywall its horrible.

This is all I got

Frank, that office space in incredible! :)

I'm stuck in the 3rd bedroom in my house (one of the reasons I rented here)... three desks, a bookcase jammed in one corner, 4 printers, fax machine, telephones, music CDs all over the place (neat is not my strong suit, except in my specific "work area". I even took the closet doors down so I'd have space for the file cabinet and office supply storage. The nicest feature is the huge window, but I usually keep the blind down so I don't get the reflection in the monitor.

As for decor, there are posters all over the walls (NASCAR and Superbikes, mostly), crystals and candles sitting around, a few plants, and the cat ventures in and out at will, as does my teenage son. I tried the "stripped down and bare" approach, but I spend 16+ hours a day in here, and I started feeling like I was in a jail cell.

I also have a "land locked" computer (no net connection) in the livingroom for those times when my son complains that he hasn't seen me in three or four days :)

all that stuff is in my living room, not my bedroom/office...:1orglaugh

As far as my work area, I took over one wall in our bedroom, next to the door so that I can look down the hall into the living room and keep an eye on my daughter. I have a big IKEA-ish rack desk, and it looks like a novelty store exploded all over it: postcards, action figures, Happy Meal toys, little stuffed animals. My 17" monitor is set at a weird angle so that I can sit parallel to the desk with my feet up on a stool, and I put the mouse/pad on a barstool next to my right hand and plop the keyboard in my lap.

I have to have it set up so that I suffer the least pain from sitting still for so long, and the desk top is littered with med bottles, tylenol, the ever-present IcyHot, an infrared massager, heating pads and all kinds of hand/wrist braces and knee braces. So it not only looks like a novelty store exploded, but possibly a medical-supply place as well...

i got a bed, two computers, laptop,1 bong, 2 vid cams, a treasure chest full of dildos and lingerie, cables and wires all over, pic of Stevie Ray Vaughn play guitar at "antones" (for all you austinites) and a picture of clint eastwood....only thing missing is a grow room

amputate... you're a voyeur in the making.. maybe you already are one :)

sort of I guess... :winkwink:

I like seeing how other people have their workspaces set up.....
