Originally Posted By mickeymeg I have a great job, my workspace is where ever I find something fun to do. Usually out in the community at some event or a rec centre swimming or skating, or the beach on sunny days etc. I do language developing and respite type work with young kids with various diabilities. I love it.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper I have a private office, quite large but with no windows so it feel smaller. On my wall I have a Mickey print, two pencil drawings of old wooden rollercoasters, and a calendar with rollercoasters. Around the office you will find a Mickey calculator, several mickey/disney picture frames with pictures of my beautiful family and friends. My Walt mug sits on my coffee warmer. My business cards are in a Mickey glove and my paperclips are in a Mickey dispenser. I have a lot of clutter on my desk and clutter lying around. That is, to some extent, a result of my job and a result of my need to have everything in front of me. My Mickey tape dispenser is a little awkward so it is in my desk and a normal dispenser is on top. My favorite office item is an inscribed trinket with Walt's quote, "You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world...but it requires people to make the dreams a reality." It is applicable to many things I do. Too detailed?

Above my desk on the wall is the Disneyland dedication plaque that I got from my mom for my birthday; below it ware pictures I took on my 2003 trip to WDW. I also have a Jack Sparrow poster on that wall. One of the best features of my office is the window above my desk. I can see outside as I work, and I love to watch the birds and squirrels. I have a bowl of squirrel food on a pole next to the window, so the little guys often come up to munch, and I greatly enjoy watching them as I work (until my cat tackles the window & they scatter away, lol). I have a little squirrel trying to eat right now. It's snowing here, and his poor little tale is all wet as he tries to munch on the pieces of corn. :0)
Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 I have a private office all the way to the back of our office, so there are no windows. Other than that I love it though. I am away from the busy front office and when I have Lilo with me I just close the door. I had it repainted recently in a pale lavender. I have a big desk, 2 extra chairs, a small book shelf, a and a little table along with various filing cabinets. I have photos of family and friends on a shelf behind my desk where I keep a bunch of CDs. I have a closk my son gave me years ago on the wall. Also on the wall right by my desk is a Smallville calendar so I can get my Tom Welling fix daily. ;D On my desk there are a lot of little Disney things. I have a hula Lilo and a Stitch in a Hawaiian shirt I got on the Disney Magic. I also have little plastic figures of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Figment and Dopey. I have the tin of notepapers I got at DLR this summer. I have a Disney Villains notepad cube with Maleficent facing me. I have a bunch of beanies, Tigger, Eeyore, Dopey, and Piglet. I have a Sulley plush and a Garfield sitting on me desk as well. Oh and my Spongebob that talks when you smack his bottom on the desk, lol. I also have little plastic Animaniacs and a Taz on the filing cabinet along with some other photos including one of me and my hubby with Tigger at WDW. It's not a huge office, but it's a pretty good size. I also have a little pink doggy bed and some toys for Lilo.
Originally Posted By peeaanuut I have a cube. But a large cube. There is an overhead cabinet, some drawers. Mostly I have product info on my walls, with a few photos that I have taken. They change regularly. I also have 2 computers and 2 monitors as one is dedicated for one thing and the other is my main work computer. I have an iPod dock hooked up to the speakers and not much more. Of course on top of my cabinet I do have the ducks. <a href="http://www.peeaanuut.com/gallery/Misc-stuff/ducks" target="_blank">http://www.peeaanuut.com/galle ry/Misc-stuff/ducks</a>
Originally Posted By t1lersm0m I work in a cube. I only have a few things on it....some lotions, a few pix of Tyler, my computer, portable b&w tv that I listen to, and a big desk calendar. We aren't allowed to hang stuff on the cubicle walls (it eliminates the soundproofing supposedly). My job is OK, but my stock options are what make me stay.
Originally Posted By Ursula I work in what is sometimes called a bullpen. I'd had a private office and I can have one again, but then our work would suffer. It's important for me to hear what my colleagues are saying to clients. I share a very large quadruple office with one other woman, and then there are two other large offices owned by my other two colleagues and we're all connected and shout at each other often. We have windows and can see the sunset each night as well as trees and grassy areas and Revolution Studios right next door. My desk is huge. On my side wall I have the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest framed poster (announcing the July 7th release!) that gives me so much grief. ("We're NOT mixing that! Here, Let me get you a Doogal poster!"). Behind me are two Shag prints signed to me! I also have a litter of desk toys and a large bergamot candle and two plants on my desk along with a cast iron Minnie, a Pinnochio mug/pencil holder, the mouse pad I got from Secret Pal 2oony, which gets a lot of comments, and a photo of the 4:30's. I then have a huge personalized shelf with wedding photos, other photos of me and Husband, two pairs of Golden Ears, five various ride photos (like with all of us pointing at 2/3 on TOT)and a slew of Ursula pins. And a fridge.

Of course, the downside is that I am solely responsible for its cleaning and maintenance. Oh yeah, and my job is unpaid. ;-)
Originally Posted By sherrytodd I have a fairly large office which at this time has no wall-hangings or toys whatsoever as I started here two weeks ago. I'm having some of my personal photos framed for the walls and am eyeing some of the 50th mark-downs for desk toys.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I'm in a cube - sorta. They actually refer to them as "pods" because there's cubes, but there's 15 cubes in a "pod" - therefore I am a POD PERSON!! GASP!! At my own desk I have a framed picture of Sleeping Beauty's castle that -em made me, a Stitch plushie who is wearing the lei Urusula gave me at the Tiki Room Meet, a wedding picture of DH and I, a picture of Dale Earnhardt Jr., and recently I FINALLY got my pictures developed from our July trip so I have about 20 of those pictures plastered on one "wall". Oh, and a Rottweiler calander that I got for Christmas too. Mom also bought me a Mickey desk set for Christmas but I haven't taken it to work yet, but I will one of these days!

Originally Posted By goodgirl I have a private office with a window behind me. I have a large Mickey Salutes America print professionally framed on one wall and a Tink poster framed on another. Photos of my friends I've made at Disneyland and my sisters and other friends--all people important in my life. My certifications are framed and on the wall because I worked so hard to earn them. Bookshelf with my collection of Microsoft Action Figures, Mr. Potato Head and a basket with all his parts, my Employee of the Year Award from a couple years ago. I have a bookshelf where I keep all the books I need for my work. I try and keep only the most important project folders on my desk. There must be about 50 of them now. Another table is used to set up computers that I need to work on. My office is usually neat and orderly. Lately it is a huge mess. I hate that but I have just had no time to get anything in order.
Originally Posted By beamerdog I have a cute little office at the way opposite end of the office from DH which is the only way we could work together, lol. I have a window that looks out on a busy street, but most of it is hidden with plants, and things my son brought back for me from trips he's taken and a framed newpaper article about me that someone was nice enough to send. I stencilled two walls with a tone on tone leaf pattern and have a painting of docked boats on the wall that clients can see. Next to my desk are pictures of the puppies that I trained for Canine Partners, a calendar, a picture of my family before all the deaths, and little picture of a Chinese Crested. On top of one file cabinet is a bunch of McDonalds Disney characters from the last giveaway. The only one I'm missing is Mickey. Of course I have Jackson with me everyday and the floor is sometimes littered with dog toys. He has an awesome bed, but he prefers to sleep on the hard commercial carpeting so right now it's leaning against the wall. I like my office because it next to the big conference room and I get to see the clients go in and out. Lots of times they'll stop and ask me about the dogs.
Originally Posted By smedley I have a shared workspace, as I work shifts, therefore no personal items on the desk, oh and the office has no windows, so we never get to see outside lol! 12 hrs of torture!
Originally Posted By Deogges Mom I have a large cubicle (about 8' x 10'), it's actually larger than some of the private offices. I have some manuals and procedure books, along with a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, a smaller medical dictionary, a dictionary, a sample letter book and some other reference books. I have a picture of Darkbeer and I at Hook's Pointe, various mugs, including one from Club 33 and one with a picture of Sleeping Beauty Castle at DL, various beanie babies and other stuffed toys. I have a Jelly Belly dispenser with no jelly beans in it right now. There are pictures of Deogee and one picture of my late husband, Deogee and me. There's more , but that all I can think of right now.
Originally Posted By LVBelle I have a very colorful classroom. It's also slightly messy as I rarely have the time to clean and my students are slobs. My desk is actually fairly clean for once.

Next to my desk I have a filing cabinet on which I've posted pics of my former classes and family.
