"What Does Your Work Environment Look Like?"
Since I'm tired of getting nagged by a co-worker how twitter killed my blog... I present to you my response to the latest meme going around - my work environment.
And since my office used to be the kids room until just a short while ago, I present to you, my home made underwater tropical themed background wall featuring:
What does your work environment look like?
- Bikini string I've been meaning to sew back on for ages now, no clue why that's in my office
- Macbook - only computer the kids ask to use
- Picture of all my kids
- Client laptop I had to pickup from client in the US since "no, shipping to Anguilla is not a good idea"
- Giant bottle of pain reliever, usually for my head, not related to item 13 below
- Nail polish in case of unexpected date
- Flashlight in case of unexpected power outage
- Client server upgrade spreadsheet, color coded (inside joke)
- Headset for VoIP phone calls
- Main work laptop
- Anguillian newspaper, fresh off the press, comes out once a week on Thursdays
- Swiss passport with almost expired Anguillian work permit on page 17, Micro Center receipt for local client and tomorrow's to do list
- After business hours beverage - Shandy
- Speakers playing beat to correspond with my mood or required energy level. Right now, Collie Buddz and Morgan Heritage are on repeat
And since my office used to be the kids room until just a short while ago, I present to you, my home made underwater tropical themed background wall featuring:
- Wing of stingray
- Turtle
- Jellyfish
- Octopus
- Coconut palm tree
- Plantain palm tree
- Stupidly grinning conch shell
- parrot fish like creature
- Anguilla, which is Eel in Spanish
- Swordfish, tastes yummy cooked
- Lobster
- Blowfish that's theoretically pissed and blown up, yet grinning
- Seahorse
- clown fish like creature

What a great idea for a fun post. Now, I need to clean my desk off first. You know, like cleaning your house before the maid comes to clean. Not that I have a maid, mind you. LOL.

Three laptops?! Thought you were retired down there on that little island, no?
Ok, the power keeps going out because those houses were not wired for all that juice you're using, not to mention the dual subwoofers in the corner.

Francie! Whatever comments the smiling fish might call, it sure beats my current setup in a US Army bunker under 12' of concrete, steel and dirt ... the background on video conferencing sux too!

OMG. Do you by any chance remember me? Patrik Mattle from Switzerland? We met in Switzerland while skiing and then I saw you in the States at one time. Can't even remember where but that was 10-15 years ago. Maybe College Station? Anyway I've been living in Dallas,TX for the last 10 years. For whatever reason your name popped in my head the other day and I found this site. This is way cool. Drop me a line sometime, patrikmattle@yahoo.com. Bis bald!

I saw from your blog that you lived in Dallas as well. I can't believe that. Anyway, will respond to your email rather then here. Ciao

I rather liked the ironing board with curtains backdrop.
Oh, and the color coded spreadsheet, that's why you make the big bucks!
