The Other Half of the Day

I’ve been posting pictures of my house, so I thought I’d put up some pictures of the place where I spend the other half of my waking hours: my office. To preserve the “plausible deniability” of my co-workers, they are not in any of the pictures (actually, you can see pictures of them on the School of Medicine IS site - each time you click “reload” you’ll get a different set of pictures).

We moved into our current space a couple of months ago. We’re in the Medical School’s Anatomy-Chemistry building, so we’re surrounded by research labs. It’s an improvement over our old space, which was an old dorm that was converted to offices. There were three of us to a room. Now we share one large space, so I get to see the rest of the people I work with more regularly.

Bathroom Graffiti - in a building full of research scientists, this is what passes for bathroom graffiti. Pathetic. (It reads “How old are these bathrooms? 1926 - Thank you”)
Mascot - this is the squirrel that visits my window most mornings		Yoshinoya - my requisite desk toy is a Yoshinoya model. Yoshinoya is a Japanese fast food joint (what makes it different from American fast food is that it won’t kill you)
Office Space - We all got to provide input on the layout of our new space - we emphatically rejected cubicles
