Online shopping, sadly, not proper shopping. I've been getting things to decorate my office and I just . Because I'm nice, I also got gifts for people, (well and they offer a discount if you buy in bulk) so if a mysterious package arrives on your bed it's possibly from me. Check first to see if it's ticking.

I just finished hanging mine up. Here's a sneak preview. For my office I got these:
Goals
Individuality
Worth
Limitations
Pressure
Burnout
Compromise
Regret

Now, I know it seems like 8 is a lot of posters but I want to be sure that people who come in leave with the proper attitude.

I also picked up a couple for the staff lounge to reflect the general atmosphere of our jobs.
Get To Work
Sacrifice

The locker rooms are so dreary that I figured they could use a little color, so here are some appropriate thoughts for us there.
Loyalty
Teamwork
More on teamwork

I have a few more up here too that I just couldn't resist getting. If you're dying to have one, let me know.

You're crazy again, aren't you?

Is it sunspots again? It's usually sunspots.

I'm not crazy. I have a package for you!

Uh, what do you mean 'again'?

From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com
Yeah, I don't think you can blame that on sunspots.

Solar storms hurt more than anything and I can shield against them now. So neener.

There's not anything at all crazy about decorating.

I'd believe you more if I hadn't seen the way you are with catalogues.

Trust me. I'm qualified to diagnosis these things.

From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
On the theory that it takes one to know one?

And what do you mean the way I am with catalogues. I'm not any way with catalogues!

The lady doth protest too much. I've seen you with kitchen catalogues back when we were both teaching cooking classes.

You know, Polonius was a fool and he was wrong.

Aw, now you've killed Polonius. Poor Polonius. It wasn't his fault that he got stuck in a tragedy.

My reasoning is valid and logical.

And uh huh. Sure. All that time you spend crouched over them with multicolored pens is just about drawing monocles and goatees on the models.

Date: 2006-09-17 09:23 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
I only do the goatees. You added monocles.

Date: 2006-09-17 09:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com
Well, yeah, okay.

It's a composition-thing. Really.

Oh ho, see how he backpeddles all the sudden.

I'm an artist. I was expressing my creativity in a free and healthy manner. It's theraputic.

It just also happened to involve monocles.

Date: 2006-09-17 09:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
Yeah huh, sure. It's all about your Art.

Why don't you teach art, speaking of...?

Date: 2006-09-17 09:40 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com
Um, let's just say there's a reason my job involved great amounts of listening and not a lot of instruction. And also I don't actually work here anymore.

You be nice to my art or I'll recreate and disseminate those photos Alison showed me of that thing you did when you two lived together.

Slacker.

Whoa, whoa, back the trailer truck up here. There are no pictures of anything that I may or may not have...mostly not have...done. Alison has no proof of anything.

You're bluffing.

From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com

Hey, let's get this straight. I'm not a slacker, I'm a freeloader. The distinction is important.

Uh, I hate to break it to you, but there's proof.

Actually kind of a lot of proof.

Ask Jamie. I'm pretty sure he was in the CC.

With best friends like you three, who needs supervillians?

You're a slacker and a freeloader.

From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com
It's true. It is within my capacity to be multiple things at once.

And it's okay, it's not like it's a conspiracy. I mean we're not, say, exchanging emails talking about you and your weird catalogue-habits behind your back as we speak or anything.

For example.

Date: 2006-09-17 10:07 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
Oh you three are so going to get it. So so much.

They're thousands of miles away, and even if the popular option of blunt-force trauma did manage to knock the images out of my head Alison's still got the digital files. And, apparently, the negatives.

I have my ways of dealing with the former Miss Blaire, never you worry about that.

Oooh, blunt force trauma is so in season right now too!

Uh huh.

I wonder if Cain would like some interesting attachments.

Are you very fond of that computer?

The Buddha teaches us not to be bound by the chains of material possessions.

So nice try.

From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
Right. That's the computer you have your thesis on, isn't it?

Date: 2006-09-17 10:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-legion.livejournal.com
Yes. Yes, it is indeed the physical host of the thesis which I have committed to my eidetic telepath's memory of surpassing creepiness due to the possibility of hardware failure.


. . . Let's just go get ice cream or something.

Frozen yogurt. You're on.

I have something for you too!

these make perfect sense.

did you order a Fear one for my office? or Futility? or Insane? I like Insane!

I like your site.

I was going to give Insanity to Nathan but you can have it if you want. I can order the other two.

Re: these make perfect sense.

From: [identity profile] x-mirage.livejournal.com
there are a lot of people who could have the "insane" one, maybe you should order a lot so we keep them in stock?

And Madness. Marie and I need madness. if it not too much trouble.

Re: these make perfect sense.

From: [identity profile] x-polarisstar.livejournal.com
I have a couple of those on hand, yeah.

I don't think we need madness inasmuch as we already have it and it would benefit others for there to be a sign proclaiming it
