Marking my territory - things in the office which mark out my space:

Purple office equipment. The stapler, calculator, pencil sharpener and tape dispenser are my own, but the wrist rest and mouse mat were bought by work, with a little wheedling.

Postcards on the wall. Quotes from Goethe and Wilde, sunflowers, "Good girls go to heaven...", "When I give food to the poor...", "Relax".

My mother's embroidery - brightly coloured balloons flying over a flower garden.

A coaster with my name and its meaning.

Glass paperweights - "Born to Play" and "Made to Work".

A smiling purple rhino.

Mess.
