My Cubicle
I went camera happy at work today. Here's a glimpse of where I sit 8 hours a day...
The overall cubicle:
I try to limit myseld to 2 Diet Dr. Peppers a day. I'm afraid my teeth will turn brown if I drink anymore. Anyway, I can't really afford to have more than 2 a day...50 cents just kills me. One of my podmates says it causes cellulite too. That's no good. Notice the crumbs next to the Diet Dr. Pepper can. That's where my Low Fat Triscuits sat but not for very long since I just gobbled them down. Behind the can, is my to do list...not for work, but for personal to do's. It includes my grocery list which is made up of fruits because I'm going to venture out and make something tonight (a fruit salad). My to do list has a bunch of stuff on it like house work, get my shoes repaired, find a flight to Houston, spray paint my bird bath, and a bunch of reminders about working on a logo for a friend, and about a run I've been thinking about doing on April 29th. I love lists.
I was dressed up one day and my sister said I looked like Polly Pocket. I had no idea who that was. I asked my friend in the marketing department who Polly Pocket was since she has little girls. She proceeded to show me around the Polly Pocket website and so kindly printed this out for me just to demonstrate that I do in fact look like Polly Pocket. Do I? I don't have yellow hair or big feet. But, the same podmate that said Diet Dr. Pepper causes cellulite decided to write my name on the printout. Now I'm Polly Pocket.
This is the top drawer of my under the counter filing cabinet. Let's see now. It's quite unorganized for me (you would know that if you knew me). People think it's strange that I have so many crackers but even weirder that I have preportioned Honey Nut Cheerios. I've decided to eat my breakfast at work so I have a half gallon of skim milk in the refrigerator. This is due to the fact that if I eat breakfast before I leave my house at 7 am then I get hungry when I arrive at work at 8:30. In order to eat less, I begin eating at 8:30 when I arrive at work so I don't munch on useless calories all morning. So far, this hasn't helped. So back to my drawer. I have a lint roller which I don't use since I don't really care if I have Lucy fur on me. I wear black a lot but oh well. I have some good smelling spray stuff for those stinky afternoons I decide to go walking on the Plaza. The rest, well, you can tell what the rest is. Take note of the candy cane that's been hanging from the separater since December. You might not be able to see it, but I do have a bag of McDonalds Ketchup and salt and peppers I stole. They come in handy. They really do.
My name isn't Alesha, it's Alicia, but how do you tell that to an 8 year old who's already redrawn the picture 3 times already? A coworker of mine has a daughter who was a Junior Chiefs Cheerleader. She visits the office occasionally with her mother. She drew this one at home so I decided to put it up. Sure enough, the next time she came to visit, she went looking for this picture and it was up! I love little kid drawings, especially this Hello Kitty version she did of me!
I've had this space heater since 3rd year of college...that's 5 years! I'm amazed it works considering what it's been through. The nob at the right, the one that controls the temperature, is pushed so it's a little bit jankity but it stills turns. I use my space heater as a footrest so I think I just put too much weight on it and it gave in...I didn't know I had fat feet. The light doesn't work anymore on the top since I pushed that in too with my feet. Sometimes I turn my space heater on full blast and I don't realize at the time, but it kind of burns my legs. It's better when I have pants on but I absolutely love hot things. I'm very careful to make sure I unplug it everynight because I don't want to be responsible to burning the place down...when I'm not here.
Taylor drew this pretty picture too. I think it's supposed to be KC Wolf (who's the Chiefs mascot) but KC doesn't have red hair! She pretended that she drew this but I knew she traced it. But hey, that's okay. I still like it and it's still hanging up in the cube.
My montage of photographs are what keeps me sane day to day. The new poeple who come through the office think the baby pictures are of my son but I'm just in love with my nephew. He's the cutest thing ever and makes me smile all day. I have a picture of my Chiefs girls, a picture of the family, and random pictures of friends. I included my Christmas Card I sent out of my cat Lucy. She's the other love of my life besides my nephew. I have a Jayhawk sticker stuck to the panel... and yes I am more of a Jayhawker than a Wildcat. In front of my colorful display of affections are 3 water bottles. I just get thirsty a lot. Whatever. I've gotten a million and a half questions about why I have 3 water bottles on my desk. I was going to take them to the KSU Career Fair to hand out but instead I took a huge box of them while these stayed on my desk. I don't know what to do with them so they'll just stay there until someone steals them which will be hopefully sometime soon.
