krebsicle Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 So, I've been spending my whole summer working in a cubicle, and just found out that I'll be continuing my research into the year. Since I'm an undergrad, I was getting shuffled from cube to cube for a big part of the summer, but now I finally have one that I get to call my own. I'd like to decorate my cubicle to make it look less like a boring grey box, but I'm not sure where to start. I'd love to include some nerdy or fitness inspirational decorations, if I can. Do any of you guys work in cubes? How are yours decorated/do you have anything that you think is particularly cool?

Teros Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 get the dimensions right for a rasterbated photo. No, that's not dirty. I believe this thing will split up pictures into 8x11s that you can print out and then tack together to make giant photos. http://rasterbator.net/ Quote Link to comment
RisenPhoenix Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've got a couple things. A SWAG slinky from a company trying to sell me things, a few giant microbes (I'm a microbiologist), Batman and Rouge Happy Meal toys (bequeathed to me by a friend who left the company), and three pins on my wall: a Mordin Solus face my friend sold at PAX a year or two ago, an "I <3 Nerds" one with Beaker as the "I" and Dr. Honeydew as the "<3," and a quote from Einstein: "If we knew what we were doing, we wouldn't call it research." If I had a slightly cleaner desk, I'd add in some more microbes, but my house is loaded up enough with them that my nerd is sufficiently covered there.

Caution Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have some game posters, custom keyboards / mice, some figurines, a nerdy coffee mug, and a USB Rocket Launcher. I Quote My Current Challenge Link to comment

Callaeidae Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The general formula in labs I've worked in seems to be:- A few scarily accurate PhD comics/xkcd comics to soothe the frayed nerves - Trophy swag procured from conferences or company rep visits - Perhaps some giant microbes (the girl sitting opposite me had this giant MRSA which used to peer accusingly over the partition into my cubicle as I was typing up my work ("you lysed them! YOU MONSTER"))Also, depending on your particular nerdy tastes there is always another papercraft template to procrastinate with Quote Level 2 Half-Elf AdventurerSTR 2 | DEX 1 | STA 3 | CON 3 | WIS 3 | CHA 2 Intro | Challenges: 1, 2 {currently on challenge hiatus} Link to comment

Evicious Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 ThinkGeek.com has a lot of cubicle-friendly items. I second the ThinkGeek.com suggestion! LOVE that site - I get lost for hours just daydreaming about all the things I could do with all the things I'll probably never buy....

Daystar Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Video Game Home Decor on Pinterest I saved this a little while ago for use in my future apartment. A lot of home stuff like pillows and the like, but a lot of great cubicle potential too! Quote Link to comment
dntspard Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 If you go with the Thinkgeek stuff make sure your work place doesn't have a rule against it...I got a whole lot of hell for having a missile launcher on the desk. Also got hell for making figures out of paperclips and D&D dice but that's different. Quote Link to comment

Frost of the Gloaming Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have race bibs and movie/music posters decorating my cubicle. Plus I have wooden peg games scattered about; you know the pyramid where you have to leave one peg empty and then jump pegs until you just leave one The local theater does old movies and re-releases the posters with it, the Scifi ones get taken as soon as they go up, but I did manage to score a Rocky Horror Picture Show and a Pink Floyd Exp "Animals" poster Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Raxie Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've got a floating TARDIS, a Jacob's ladder, a slinky, various little figurines & little creatures (yay dragons). I ordered a bunch of desk stuff from Think Geek... they have AWESOME stuff as people have said already, but I liked them so much I never brought them to work.

Minty Keen Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I wish I worked in a cube. I work retail at the moment and hate it.Maybe decorate with a TriForce?If it were me I'd have some pokeballs laying about, perhaps as paperweights.Gosh, I should make pokeball paperweights. Genius.
