Ya girl got a promotion and a fancy office. I am one of the only people who has to come in right now and catch coronavirus so it is a lot like being king of nothing. OTOH that means I can listen to podcasts with cussing while my door is open so that's pretty cool.

This is babby's first office as I have been a cubicle peon for most of my working life. What do people usually put in these? Any suggestions for posters? There's a bookshelf in here but I don't have any professional books. Maybe I can just put action figures on it instead? Office goons what have you done?

Whatever you want people to start a conversation with you about.

I put opened boxes and tools so it looks like I've got a lot of things to work on, and have selected an otherwise cold and humourless selection of drably colored objects.

I also have a printer in here. It's a boxy HP, kind of old from what I can tell. I don't wanna replace it if it works though, especially if I can spend my budget on funkos or whatever.

I sure can. Both fists even. No one is here most of the time so I could probably bang my foot on it too.

This is a helpful point, except no one is here to have conversations with. Ostensibly still good advice but I figure the ghastly emptiness of this large building means I can get weird with it

Now there's an idea. Maybe sandwiched between pics of my sister's kids.

I do database work for a big TV/radio station. Everyone here is pretty nerdy about it but TBH I don't really consume our programming.

Sounds like the obvious choice is to just fill your office up with funkos.

:hellyeah::histdowns:
I just switched to a remote job but I did have my own office. I enjoyed doing this:

No decorative/personal items to make it clear you're not interested in non-work interaction.
Put your monitor between your seat and the guest one on the other side of the desk.
Break the soft-close mechanism on the door so it automatically slams shut. Gives everyone a mild fright and further conditions them against bothering you.

Comedy (?) answer: Just put a lot of anime dudes up on the walls, pop on some nekomimi headphones, and hiss at anyone who walks by your desk.

e: Just a warning that if you become the Girl with Fun Post-Its, your entire life will be spent "lending" them to people. With great power comes great responsibility.
