Let's talk about your office. Sorry Billy, you can excuse your retired ass from this thread.
My office is decent size - maybe 12' x 15'. I have a pocket door, which is cool. I have one larger than average window.
I have two desk in my office. One is a big, nice wooden desk that I work on - where my desk calendar is, my computer, my phone, all that stuff. The other desk is much smaller and just gets sh*t thrown on it that I no longer want on my real desk but I can't bring myself to throw it away or file it appropriately.
I have two corkboards that are mostly filled with pictures of my family or other personal stuff like letters that were written to me or maybe some motivational crap.
I have a framed version of the Rudyard Kipling poem "If" that's probably 50 years old and hung in my dad's office when I was a kid. I have a quilt hanging on one wall. It's pretty awesome. A friend of mine made a quilt from old promotional t-shirts my organization has used throughout the years. I have two leather chairs for guest. A bookshelf that has a bunch of books I've never read and probably won't ever read. A signed football from Romeo Crennel (he did some promotional stuff for my org several years ago). I have a picture of me and former Kansas City Chief linebacker Bobby Bell. I have a couple of lame trophies that I won in charity golf tournaments (Captain's Choice formats, of course). I have a couple of drawings done by my dad that hang on my walls. And of course I have my degree and other certifications hanging.
My office building is an old split foyer home built in the mid-60s. It was converted to an office in the late 80s. About 10 years ago, we won a grant award to make about $40,000 worth of upgrades but there's still plenty that could be done. We have drop ceilings with those terrible lights. Most of the walls inside are beige with white trim.
The office sits on a very large lot - roughly an acre. We have a huge parking lot - really much bigger than we need but a lot of the property is nice green space too. It's not landscaped to perfection but it looks pretty nice. I don't contract out our landscaping because that's just so costly. So I take care of it throughout the spring and summer. I kind of like doing it anyway. And I always have high school kids that need court ordered community service hours knocking on my door so I let them do it from time to time.
What's yours like?
