I had a goal of finishing Lou Plummer’s 50 Ideas for Blog Posts by the end of the year. I’ve done 27 and only have a couple weeks to finish the rest.

You’re going to see a lot of posts in the next couple of days.

I had coffee with some friends today.

It feels good to finish something. I hope you all get a chance to have that feeling today.

Setting up a new computer can be kind of refreshing as you take some time to think about what you really need versus having simply because you had it on the other instance.

Many years ago, I went to a Black Friday sale for diapers. I think it’s probably the closest I’ve everr gotten to buying happiness since then.

50 Ideas for Blog Posts by Lou Plummer #27

27. What kind of decorations do you have in your workspace? What do they mean to you?

The place that I’m currently working has a “hoteling” requirement. This means that I’m required to book an appointment with a cubicle within an allotted set two (2) days a week. We can only book a cubicle 2 weeks in advance and we’re only required to be here two days, there is no guarantee that you’ll get the same cubicle. Also, if you do not book the time someone else can sit there. You can’t book a cubicle and not sit there.

So, it discourages us from taking the time to decorate the workspace.

They’ve tried to make it more “fun” by placing pictures up of excited places, but it’s roughly the same 8-10 pictures in a certain group of cubes.

It’s not all bad, I do have access to a cafeteria and a printer.
