Office culture

Tabitha and I decorated Eric's desk area for his return to the office today.  It was done along a "welcome back to the WEST coast" so everything is mid-70's groovy.  We left peace signs on all his stacks of paper, covered up his files with a sarong, hung a bamboo curtain and a macrame plant holder (with string from the autopsy suite), and liberally scattered albums around on his desk--the Who's Tommy album, Earth Wind & Fire, Simon & Garfunkel, Jefferson Starship.  Also left a tiger-print pillow on his chair with a hand-lettered sign that said "Keep on Truckin' -- Eric will be back July 8th".  It looked a bit like this:

Oh yeah -- I forgot to metnion the half-melted wizard/tree trunk candle and the incense holder. 

Eric's reaction was great -- he felt "totally happy to be back" and said this really made his day. 

Yay!

What's funny is that... though people argue over whether it's possible to say that the seventies were ever cool... *this* is completely and utterly cool.

Your career as an interior decorator... to quote Karen Carpenter... has only just begun.
