There are many different options for keeping your desk decorated. Seeing as how most people spend 8 hours at their desk, it’s important to keep it pleasing to the eye.

You have some of the old reliable stand-bys, Albert Einstein with his tongue sticking out. Some keep an old sports calendar up from a year back in the 90’s when their sports team was good. Others can be really flamboyant with their decorating. Some people will have close to 20 pictures of their kids, dogs, hobbies, all lining different parts of their desk or cubicle.

Here’s a list of the different decorations I have at my desk and what they mean to me:

Austin Powers Bobblehead - The Austin Powers movies are one of my favorite comedy series of all time. If I’m ever feeling down or need a lift I can just think of all the hilarious scenes in the movies. Having a Austin Powers Bobblehead staring me down helps with my happy thoughts.

Mario Figure & 3 Other Video Game Figures - One of the true passions I have in life are video games. You’ll rarely, rarely see me angry and most of the time a video game is to blame. Of course I’ve had just as much happiness as anger playing video games all these years, hence the ‘passion’ (nearing around 20 years, for how long I’ve been gaming). For something that’s such a big part of my life, 4 figures might not be enough.

Kentucky Wildcats Clock - If there’s one thing I’m passionate about other than video games, it’s UK Football. Those who know football might laugh, because throughout my 24 year history there hasn’t been a whole lot to be passionate about. Of course these past few years, you can see how the culture of UK football is changing and people are starting to have faith. For someone like me who stuck with them even during the rough years, makes it all the more sweeter.

So what office decor do you go with? Do you keep it simple or go really extravagant? Or do you not have any decorations at all because you’re so focused on your work?
