Most fortunately, instead of packing each and everyone of us into meeting rooms or limited working areas ala canned sardines, the client decided to provide us with proper personal working areas - cubicles yay! - though some still on a sharing basis, me thinks.
Most unfortunately, the location of my cubicle ain't exactly that strategic - droves of client as well as colleagues passing by - being able to catch glimpses of my screen. Not forgetting to mention, the heat - somehow the air conditioning just doesn't work that well around my area - beware of the heat zone!

And above is a picture of my work area, just a fraction of it actually. A DELL Inspiron 640m to get me through the daily design and coding tasks and that's not the blue screen of death you see btw, its just a disk scan scheduled accidentally some time back, running after a restart as configured. And that scanning - 5 loops in total - gave me enough of idle time to probably drive to Seremban for some Siew Paus.
On the left would be the free laptop bag that I got during one of those TechEd sessions way back then, followed by the wallet - a birthday present from Jac also way back then and lastly, my trusted ol' coffee cup - the word COFFEE is embedded quite contrastly there to remind me to have coffee as much as possible when away from Jac, yummies.
On the right would be a retractable mouse which is pretty convenient especially when you're using a laptop and to the right of it, a note book used during meetings - I still write faster than I could type, also meetings sometime lasts longer than the battery.
Those pin-ups you see in the background would be tasks pending to be completed, the colour of the pins denotes the urgency/severity of it - smart right? Of course you can't read anything, it has been blurred for a purpose but then again, not like one would be able to understand what has been written - lols.

Just recently, we have been given these 'name-tag' likes print out to be displayed on our work areas - the purpose, easier for the clients to identify us - nothing wrong with the practice actually, its just the colour as well as the design. Kinda reminds me of the writings I see on 'batu nisans' (gravestones/headstones/tombstones) in chinese cemeteries. Eerie, ain't it?
Since I'm lazy to photoshop the image above accordingly, use your imagination to place a black and white portrait of me smiling plus a my date of birth plus an end date - I expected myself to die at the age of 70, so please calculate accordingly. Some random chinese characters which is a must although my guess is 90% of the people around me then knows nothing of what is written. Perhaps I can put some quotes on it as well, like - I shall be back - lols.
