Sometimes ‘Friday Mike D’ leaves little notes of urgent things that need completion for ‘Monday Mike D’ and frankly, it’s really annoying.

I’ll come in first thing Monday morning, all chipper and full of whistle. I’ll gingerly put the U.S.S.Lunch Box on my desk and sit down at my computer. And there it is: a collection of post-its and scrap paper notes plastered across my keyboard.

This morning I had these:

“ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR!”
“CALL JEFF!”
and
“DAVE NEEDS REPORT!”

The notes are usually in Caps and frequented by exclamation points.

You see, come 4 or 4:30pm on Friday, Friday Mike D sometimes doesn’t like to do those last little things to finish off the week. So instead, Friday Mike D puts notes on the keyboard and mouse so that Monday Mike D is totally boned.

What a jerk.

I’ve been thinking more about the design of my cubicle. And frankly, the gray walls just aren’t doing it for me.

I think I need some wall paper. I did a Google search for Cube Wallpaper and stumbled upon Cube Chic! It’s a book that helps you “Take Your Office Space from Drab to Fab.”

check it out.

It looks like the first step to this madness is to come up with a theme.
As I look around my office I see the following:

Rock climbing calender
Boat photograph
Sweet pipe painting
Two wooden shelves
lots of miscellaneous paintings
some paperweight sized rocks
and gray.

Everything else is gray. A gray desk, chair, guest chairs… everything.

Obvious theme choices would be Rock Climbing, or Rock in general. But I’m not sure how much I could develop this space with either of those themes.
