Got a window?Friday is close enough.
My office is hospital gray/brown. How do I make it feel less unappealing? Everything I can think of seems to be a fire hazard or tripping risk.

Plants!I do!
How hard would it be to paint your office? If that’s a doable option, highly recommend. Good artwork is nice as well and a plant or two adds a nice touch. Glad to hear you have a window.Friday is close enough.

Yeah, I can't imagine they'll paint for me. They are supposed to be ripping out the ancient carpet in some of the rooms, but there is a 6 month delay. I did receive my metal, grayish brown bookshelf. The rest of the room is empty.
At the VA you have to go through the right channels, and options are limited. You can add artwork of your own, though.
It's best to ask for forgiveness than permission.I wanted to hang flyers, but it might burst into flames unless it's behind very fancy, exclusive glass owned by the facility. They did compromise and say we can hang paper on our door if we put it in a sheet protector.
The amount of bureaucratic BS you VA folks have to go through just to get basic office decorations is ridiculous. That alone would pretty much be a deal breaker for me at this point.
I spend more time at my office than my home and office decor is a big deal for me. One of the things I love about private practice is coming into an office that is inviting, comfortable and personally designed to my taste. Patients often comment on it as well.
I have a great interior designer and like to change things up every 3-5 years or so when the mood strikes me. It’s a pretty simple process, too. I just give them a call, we meet to discuss ideas, agree to a plan and within a few weeks to months (depending on supply chain now), I have a very nice, new office environment that is a pleasure to spend time in.
Yep to different life stages. I could have tolerated that as an intern but not now - at least not without my permission. I view my office as a kind of sanctuary and am rather protective of the space.Different life stages. The irony is that the largest office I ever had was at the VA as an intern. It was an old group meeting room. The downside was that all the intern meetings and didactics were held in my office. Some of the patient groups for my rotation were held in my office as well. Being remote, I don't worry about this stuff anymore.

At this point, my office would be better if I just used the books as furniture..
Business is finally back to baseline. This weekend I'm going to drink some wine, do some academic writing, and talk psylady into a pizza night.
What's your dunk's order, man?Had an early assessment on the calendar today (only one for the day). Left office yesterday knowing I wouldn't get home until later in the evening and would not be doing work, so left the laptop and files at the office (it's kind of freeing to do this every now and then!). Of course, i get a call this morning that kiddo is sick and will need to reschedule, so no need to go to the office. Of course I needed my computer and files to work from home, and already was dressed in my finest work clothes and placed my DD order for pickup. Good thing office is only 20-25 minutes away.
Going to dinner and first college hockey game of the year tonight with son, with alma mater (go Minutemen!) facing off against defending national champs Denver. Home improvement, yard work, and my own hockey on tap for rest of weekend. I have a few Jack's Abbey Copper Legend Oktoberfests left over to help me make it through the weekend. I love this time of the yea- marzens are one of my favorite beer styles.
Regular coffee, turkey sausage and cheese (no egg) on English muffin, hash brownsWhat's your dunk's order, man?

this hurts because me. freaking. too. I have 3 more next week too, but some of those are super fast at least. there are 5 I'm doing that I'm DREADING because of the history and file reviewI have an ungodly number of reports to catch up on, some of which will hopefully happen this weekend. Other than that, going to finally enjoy some nice weather (for once).
What’s worse is that no one will ever read the history and file review.this hurts because me. freaking. too. I have 3 more next week too, but some of those are super fast at least. there are 5 I'm doing that I'm DREADING because of the history and file review
ah well. at least I have legos tonight.
What kind of heating system? We have a new solar one, works nicely. I’ve been happy with it.I like my Fridays because it involves German beer, and typically some grilling out by our pool, and now that we just installed a heating system, we can use the pool year-around. I also got to work from home yesterday....so that was nice.

We just installed a Hayward heating system. We just moved into this house and we had to get pay to get a new sub-panel installed to accommodate the heating system. We also had them remove the existing pool system so they could lay about 6 inches of concrete slab to be on par with our two AC units to get the system off the ground, then they put in new plumbing and then put the heater next to the pool system. Funny enough, the pool heater was brand new out of the box; they installed it but couldn't get it to turn on, so they are having a technician from Hayward come out. They think it's something with the motherboard or something like that.What kind of heating system? We have a new solar one, works nicely. I’ve been happy with it.

Nice list. Can't go wrong with Weihenstephaner. The dive bar we go to after hockey had the pilsner and festbier on tap. Great after-exercise brews. Vitus is a favorite.My favorites:
1. Weihenstephaner (Original Helles, Vitus, Hefe Weissbier)
2. Hofbrauhaus (Original, Muchner Weisse, Oktoberfestbier, Dunkel).
3. If I am in a pinch, I will settle for Paulaner
