i recently read that the more personal photos and memorabilia you tack up around your desk, statistically you are preceived as less professional by your co-workers. if i don't get promoted within the next year, maybe i should rethink my cubicle decor. i have about 15 fun-with-friends-and-family glossy shots arranged on my wall ajacent to my computer monitor so that it is essentially wallpaper. and then i have all kinds of kooky, random flyers and bumper stickers and such filling out the other walls...want to know what the name "Rachel" looks like in Chinese characters? Check out the wall. Want to see an abstract black and white rendering of Janis Joplin screaming into a microphone? The wall. The guys from The Clash are up there along with some crazy colorful art pieces done by a graffiti artist from Japan rounding it all out. on a sentimental note, i also have a "love is..." clipping from the newspaper. you know what i'm talking about, that comic with the two naked anatomically incorrect people who teach us what love is all about. allen's mom clipped one for me that says "love is...helping him become a quitter" and the naked anatomically incorrect man is tossing out a pack of cigarettes. ha.
remember how i mentioned that for every new creative pitch we do, i have to go out shopping and find retail inspiration for every innovation we present? as a result, i have a solar powered mushroom bobbler, a mini panda robot with flashing green LED eyes, a pirate skull halloween bucket, and an assortment of urban vinyl toys. and that's just the front row of my toy gallery. i was never really into hi-tech, artsy fartsy toys until i started working for this agency. and now it's my job to be into it.
oh, how nice it feels to open up this journal and type type type about nothing.
