Office Space

I've done my best to make it a little more creative by putting up colorful paper on the walls of my cube and vow to only use artful notebooks while everyone else uses yellow legal pads, but that's just not enough!

I don't want to brag, but I will. My office is pretty righteous; its LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Naturally its very green and made with a lot of renewable materials. Its not like my desk is made from an abandoned tree stump or anything, but nice just the same.
