Giggles In The Darkness: Shared: Sparkles in the Mundane

I am an artsy kinda girl and have always worked in an office. I've been at my current company for almost 12 years now, swimming through seas of light grey cubicles. I was an assistant to the buyer for seed and fertilizer for over 9 years until they did away with the merchant assistant positions. I was absorbed by Supply Chain Support which was a step down position-wise but my pay the stayed the same and I didn't lose my benefits. Within about a year, I was promoted to a Supply Chain Specialist which means I pretty much play in Excel spreadsheets and create purchase orders for stores all day. I am working toward some other positions but I make due with where I am.

The hardest part for me, though, are these light grey cubicle walls. I know they need to keep things neutral, etc. but they just make me sad. So I try to keep my cube fun and visually interesting. We moved floors recently so I used that time to get rid of cubicle clutter and I am slowly revamping my little 6'x6' space.

I also thought I'd share what a typical day is like for me because I KNOW you will find it SO interesting. LOL I actually do find these interesting when other people post them but then I've also admitted to being a stalker of the mundane already. ;)

I got these earrings from Wish which work well as push pins!

I've used other jewelry to adorn my space as well. This is a bat ring on one of my monitors.
