Wednesday Morning Office Photoblogging!


Wherein Our Heroine Should Just Stick to Words.
Here it is! The anticlimax you have all been waiting for! The office in all of its greeny glory! First stop on our tour is the office-y part of the office - just the essentials: a desk large enough for a laptop and note-taking, printer, shelves, and a filing cabinet.



Next stop on our tour is the "lounge" portion of the office - for when the straight-backed chair (which is more comfortable than it looks, but still - it's a straight-backed chair) gets to be a bit much. Work can still be conducted here, via the magic of a printout and a red pen or the superior magic of the wireless network.



Another view of the "lounge" part of the office, with the sari curtains and both bits of artwork that has inspired me to call this interior décor scheme "Paris on the Ganges."



And finally, a close-up of the vignette I constructed out of the detritus and kitsch I cannot bear to throw away. From the bottom, moving clockwise: a brass paperweight, which was a gift from Stuart Klipper - it has the latitude and longitude of the house I grew up in, and is ringed by the quote "Know where you are, be where you're at," my quoting of which led to our meeting one another (long story). Moving leftward, a crystal paperweight of in-law provenance (actually useful for weighting papers when the windows are open); a fleur-de-lis finial that doesn't go on the rod over the window, since the window ends at the wall; a photo of my mom and me fronted by Pinky and the Brain (I believe Pinky is doing T'ai Chi - the Brain, of course, is in an advanced form of sirsasana); a Russian spoon of unremembered provenance; a glass bead to ward off the evil eye, brought to me from Greece by my best friend many years ago (what does she know that I do not, I wonder?); and finally, a Lord Ganesha finger puppet riding a surfboard on top of a beach buggy.



And no, it is surely no coincidence that my thesaurus sits so near to these bits I am so fond of.
