New office



I think it needs a little charm. Any ideas? Sadly, Christmas lights are verboten.

Hit up thrift stores for the tackiest paintings you can get. Bonus points for being painted on velvet. Cover a wall with them. Don't hang any of the straight. Hang some upside-down.

The nice thing about having an office is to not have anyone looking over my shoulder all day. Anyway, that guy is always making these little grumbling noises, so that you know he disapproves of what you're doing.

I think the same thing, with a shot of the Big Brother poster from the movie version of 1984 instead of Jesus, might just work.

I made a six-foot-tall Big Brother poster as part of a 1984 presentation in high school. It was a fun project, but in retrospect the art probably sucked. I don't know where it is these days.
In that case, I suggest a bus-sized rear-view-mirror, so you can see who's approaching before they arrive.

'Cause I'm sure you're the kind of manager who keeps his door always open.
I'm really no kind of manager, thankfully.
Weird. I came here to suggest the Big Brother posters from 1984. I just saw that last weekend and forgot how good it was (Burton makes it, in my opinion, although the whole cast is pretty solid). Apparently another version may even be in the works, although it might be a dead project for all the detail that's listed(http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0498637/).

Otherwise, ever since I read Poe's "Cask of Amontillado" I've always wanted to just have the phrase "Nemo me impune lacessit" hung somewhere around me.
Not a bad idea. When Mel and I visited Britain, I was amused to see this motto inscribed on the edge of some of the one pound coins.

Along these lines, [info]silencius always favored "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam."
That would almost be better. I'm a sucker for Latin phrases, though...even though I have basically no knowledge of the language.
cuddly chthulu?
