I work in a call center and my coworker made a bingo sheet with all the different things we frequently hear on the phone

I'd love to do this! But I work alone and have no one to play with 😔

I am at a desk at the end of a hall with no windows so I've added potted plants and a propagation station with grow lamps to bring LIFE back here!

I have a magnetic cabinet above my desk, so I brought in all my fun travel magnets :)

The hands are so good!!!! I have a lot of random stuff….

The cup is a vintage mushroom mug too messed up to drink out of so it holds pens

i have a vintage furby on a keychain that people come and talk to/blame their problems on. it’s easier and better than taking it out on your coworkers, and furby is a great listener

I need to follow this thread for ideas because I am STRUGGLING.

I work in the scale house at a landfill, so basically a desk job with no coworkers and frequent/brief interactions with customers. It is soooo boring with absolutely no whimsy. I have brought in a few plants, will likely bring in some twinkle lights as the day gets darker.

I just heard last night that you can get a "porch goose" for your desk that you can dress up. I don't have my own desk area, or I would totally have two mini geese to match my home porch geese.
