sickipedia

I’ve been sick for the last little while, hence few updates. Getting better (very) slowly, and there’s nothing to worry about, but that’s why I haven’t been around much.

Cubicle photos

Because I am a dork, I took pictures of my cubicle at work. You can see there how well the big concrete column provides an enclosed office for me. You can also see that I am drowning in grey. I welcome decorating suggestions of appropriate taste (it’s the first cubicle on the floor) and style […]
