My hatred for the general public grows more every day.

After you third question don't forget to tell them they are wrong because they were told something else earlier. That's my favorite.

On my lunch break I either put on a hoodie over my uniform and go fot a walk or sit in my car.

It won't help. Last week right before the President's helicopter landed here the place was crawling with various agents. A van unloaded several men in armor with scary looking guns and unfriendly dogs. They were instantly swarmed by tourists asking directions.

I have one of those in my office that I made into an actual clock. I set it 5 minutes fast so when people pop in and see it, they wait..and wait.. forever.

That's brilliant!

Is this your office in the photo? If so who is that on the right?

In reply to pilotbraden:

Perhaps one of these?

Yes, it is my office, deep within the bowels of a monolithic government building. And yes, it is a homemade leg lamp... and a homemade Han in Carbonite, an Ogee clock, a lightsaber, one of the radio models my family sold commercially during the 20's and 30s, a 70s Kenner Darth Vader, a 1:10 scale Porsche 906 chassis I modeled and 3D printed, a small theremin, misc. parts of cars I owned, some Play-Doh, two lightning rods, photos of: Don Knotts, my wife, our three children and my dear, departed cat Clovis, two slot cars, my one-rung "ladder of success", and the head of Tom Servo. None of it relates to my actual job.

Han Solo in carbonite and Tom Servo's head?!

Mind.....blown.

Sorry to hijack the thread - probably should have started a "what's in your office?" thread.

That is awesome, if I had an office I'd like to think it would have some cool E36 M3 like that.

In reply to Lancer007:

I came here to post that.
I did that the other day at work as a joke lol

One does not simply "make" a "Han in carbonite" without detailing how.

In reply to Apis_Mellifera: Your Yoda I have

In reply to Apis_Mellifera:

When the HR people need to see you and tell you to bring your personal items; you plan to make it interesting...LOL

Especially when the see the lamp was made with a real leg.
