If I put up myself at work, not only would I have the nee for tan walls, I
would need to leave the silly microphone on the minifig!  Ugh.  At least I've
cross-trained enough to have a 6x6x5.5 cubicle instead of the smaller 6x4x5.5
like most of our call center.

The floor's out of the question with our 70-lbs, four-footed, child of our own.
She loves it when I sit on the floor and wants to sit right next to me, never
mind all those pointy bits she just laid down on.  Luckily, we have a neat,
fold-away table that I use in the living room cause my room never has building
space, no matter how small the project.
