Where I work.

Alright. So here's a set of pictures of my Legion of Doom:

I'm jealous! Where do you work or what do you do that you can have cool stuff in your cube? I'd be lucky not to have things carted off...

State employee, baby. And, if you notice, there's no way the customers can see in :)

Customers have limited access to me, as it is. Really, the key is that I don't move them around. If I were actually playing with them, I'd be in trouble :) As it stands, because I don't play with them, they just kinda sit in my office.

LOL no customer ever sees me, either. I'm currently working in claims in a major health insurance company, but I'm a temp. I have no permanent work space for doohickeys... WAHHHHHH. But I do manage to have the Lone Gunmen pic on my desktop every assignment.... eheheheh

I so understand that statement.

I sometimes think my mom knows nothing about me..
Then she picks the perfect table to be an altar etc...

The tree casting is beautiful.

I remember where you got the velociraptor.
Very cute! I'm glad you had a good celebration!

*grin* Your office reminds me of my son's bedroom! He is 21!!!

Wonderful oak cast! Lucky you. :)

I'm thinking about getting my friend a sapphire bracelet as a bridal gift- where did you get this one, out of curiousity?

The oak tree thing- beautiful.

Right now, the model I got is on sale at Kay Jewelers:

In yellow gold

In white gold

I got Tina the one in white gold.

The rest of Kay Jeweler's catalog of Saphires

I visited nearly every store in town before I settled on that particular bracelet. Most places just have diamonds, and precious little else. I thought that particular bracelet was really one of the most beautiful ones I could find for under $1000 (it didn't hurt that it was under $100, but I was prepared to spend around $500, if necessary).

I saved Kay for last because I've had remarkable luck there. I only purchase real stones, and I don't buy anything that I think is ugly, just because it's expensive.

I've also had good luck at Whitehall jewelers.

I'll probably never get a diamond for Tina because I don't think they're nice stones. Were I to get her an engagement ring, it'd be an emerald. Diamonds are just. . . well, ugly.

She's said more than once that I obviously have good taste in jewlery. And she agrees about the diamonds.

The casting is beautiful!

Sorry to be a downer, but a warning about white gold. Several years ago, my cousin bought a white gold engagement ring for an ex-fiancee (he's now married to someone else). He specifically asked that it be white gold and not electro-plated white gold over yellow gold. He was assured it was white gold. However, a few months later the ring started developing a yellow tint. Closer inspection showed the ring had indeed been electro-plated.

That's why I want platinum and rubies. :D

Buying jewelry is always tricky like that. Someone I know took a magnet with her & ran it over the sterling silver jewelery & was amazed at how many of the necklaces pulled towards the magnet. Sterling over a base metal is still labeled sterling. Chances are the clerks wouldn't even know.

Unfortunately, I don't know a neat trick like that that'll work on gold at all. Well, other than taking a file to it. Clerks might take issue with that, though. :)

I'm glad you were so happy with your gift from Tina. It's very beautiful. It's wonderful when someone you loves does something like that.
