I finally got a job...Help me decorate my cubicle!

Sphere: Related Content So I know I haven't posted a blog in a while, but I finally got the job I've been pining for since April. I started this past Monday after a rigorous interview process (I had three in person, one phone interview, a background check and a drug screen) and tons of waiting around biting my nails.



I'll be working in client services making the most amount of money I've ever made in my entire life with more promised to come after I finally graduate college which they will pay for. Needless to say I am jumping for absolute joy.



I'll call the company "ABC." ABC has an awesome way of treating their "associates." I won't bore you with mundane details but I just want to say I can access the Internet (except social networking sites which includes blogger ...boo!) at any time at my desk. I should also mention that my cubicle is sick.



It's huge and I'm thinking about totally decking it out. Kinda like "pimp my cubicle" style. Here are some decorated cubicles and office supplies I love:






I haven't read Kelley Moore's "Cube Chic" yet but the cover is enough to at least make me want to buy a small bamboo plant for my desk. You can buy it here at Amazon.com.


This is another look from Moore's book called "CEO Cube." It's my absolute favorite and I will be modeling my cubicle after it. My space will definitely stick out once I cover the grey walls in fabric. No one in my row does anything but put up pictures except for the guy who has a fish tank at his desk.

I was also thinking of using my over head space as a pseudo bookshelf. All in all my framed awards and sharp black and white photos coupled with an overall professional vibe will make me shine in the workplace.

Since I hate working with numbers and a large portion of my new job involves that, this Heart calculator by The Spoon Sisters, would make my day just a little bit sweeter.
These "I Love the Office" stickers rock! My favorite is "I Love Overtime," since I will be working lots of it to save up for the incredibly expensive wedding I am basically bankrolling.

Last but not least, I want this rear view computer mirror. I gotta see what's behind me. Surprises at work can be tricky.

Good surprise: the power generator failed during the blackout so you get to go home. Yea!

Bad surprise: Your boss is standing behind you while you are instant messaging a co-worker about how you want to shoot your brains out because you are hung over and drank way too many Patron shots last night. Boo!

Do any of you have cool cubicle/office ideas? Let me know!
