August 24, 2008 - Officemod 1.0

Exploration of my new department at school reveals that not only does every office/classroom in this particular building have cool doors with circular windows, but almost every single person blocks thier's off with plain white paper or some sort of construction paper/poster. Well, not to be outdone by white paper again I came up with this neeto idea of using some of my 'stained glass' paints to do a volcano mural on our lab window. I believe this serves two important purposes; First, we're protecting our privacy from would-be equipment thieves, chair stealers, and advisors with a quiet gate. Second, it clearly illustrates the badass nature of our volcanology lab. Duh.

Here is the initial sketch, seems to work, lab-mates like it... its a go!

So that last post where I was all ecstatic about having a new office, windows etc... Well, I have to say that it pales in comparison to the fact that that there is also a kitchen! Can you believe this shit? A kitchen really, stove and all? Its even got an ice machine, hmmm... There's gonna be some serious bacon and egg mornings to drive the rest of the department crazy...



Oh
