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!
