Most people have a little something on their desk that brings them comfort and joy throughout the workday. Sometimes it's a picture, other times it's something totally different. What is your favorite item sitting on your desk and why?!

I am going to cheat, I have 2.
1) My Pop heads! They are characters I have enjoyed in movies and I can't help but smile when I see them π€
2) An empty Educated Guess bottle of wine that has a fake sunflower in it. I love that the flower gives my desk a little girly touch and the wine bottle is cool and nerdy.
Definitely the tech deck that my coworker gave me π
Nice Twilios too! βοΈβ€οΈ
Toothless! I've got the same one on my entertainment center. I've got a black cat that looks (and sometimes acts) like Toothless.
Im fond of my little bench-pressing robot guy
Why would a robot need to bench press? Weβll never know.
I love your mug!
Thats unique! Where did you find that?!
There are a few stands around New York City that sell these kinds of sculptures. You see them at holiday markets etc.
My "Chinese money plant" which is a seedling of one I got some years ago from a good friend. It outgrew its mother by factor two. Also currently trying to make 4 new ones out of it.
All my attempts to grow a "pass it on" plant in the office failed badly. My plant was knocked over so many times that it was impossible to resurrect it :((
Someone has a green thumb πAlso, love the Tardis!
The Obama bobblehead I got in Hawaii on my honeymoon. The GEICO bobblehead I got from my first professional job as a developer.
I also have photos of my family on my desk. The rest is clutter. π
Solid! Also, I spy a Site Reliability Workbook in the background π
Yes! A co-worker recently finished it and brought it to me yesterday. I haven't started going through it yet.
This lovely Matrioshka that my mum knitted for me has come along with me in all my works since I almost started working with 21 years at a Bank Call Center.
10 years have past. In the meantime I reached a COO job position at a Real Estate company and later, CMO.
And I am saying all this, because I have decided to give everything up to restart my career as a Front-End Developer. So, these hard work studying days, this Matrioshka is beside me at my home's desk. But it will also hopefully be beside me in next work desk as a Developer :D.
That is such an awesome story! Thanks for sharing and way to go switching careers, that took guts!
These are my friends who've helped me through many debugging sessions!
πI have such a soft spot for stuffed animals!!!
It's stuffy!
I have this Lego telephone on my desk that I got from Twilio and is in red, which is our colour, and that I just think is a reminder of the work we do everyday in connecting people.
Also, I have this illustration that was drawn for me as one of the organisers of RubyConf Australia 2019 that I just love. It's a lovely representation of the community and also it's a train full of wombats and I love it.
A slinky and squishy potato cat--I fidget.
Country Bears Jamboree mug full of dark roast coffee.
And since I have no office door, a double-sided picture frame (that sits at the back of my desk) to tell coworkers when I'm "around somewhere" or "not here".
That picture frame is genius!!!! I love that idea!
I love my Elsa peg doll from Scrambled Pegs!
Definitely my Keyboard
LOVE it!!! I never even thought of a keyboard, but some people have them so tricked out that many definitely count as accessories!
