Joe Duemer wants to know if I have any images of famous people in my workspace.
I have my graduation picture in my cube, and that’s got Tammy Baldwin in it. That’s, um, it for real people.
If we add famous fictional characters, I do a little better. The Don and Sancho are present, as is Mighty Plush Cthulhu. Aragorn stares moodily from a Banned Books Week bookmark, and Barbara “Batgirl” Gordon strides out of another library-themed bookmark.
Other than that, I’ve got a tiger and a lot of penguins on some posters, which I put up to keep people from ragging me about how bare of decoration my work cube is. If I had my druthers, I’d have an orangutan, just to remind myself to be humble and keep a sense of humor, but I haven’t found an orang poster I like yet. Eventually I believe I’ll have a Bibliomedusa, but the artist from whom I have commissioned same is still plugging away at his rendition thereof.
Was that edifying?
