It’s the end of another semester. It’s been one of the busiest I’ve had and yet on some level the stress level has been lower. I think it could be because I redecorated my office. That seems like a simple solution but bear with me. I have had a baseball themed office for years. The sport is one of my favorites because of the nostalgia it brings. Good memories of the Phillies winning the 1980 World Series. But it was time to make a change in the decor, and surprisingly a change in my mood. The office now has a coffee motif. It is a relaxing environment now. One clever thing I did was get a bunch of paint swatches from Home Depot and then I went home and made a cup of coffee exactly as I like it. Then I held up the swatches to my favorite cup of joe and found the closest match. The office is now in a color which evokes good feelings. The walls have coffee decor, but nothing overwhelms. The lighting is different. Perhaps it is time to rethink your office as less of a utlilitarian room and more as a creative environment.
The photos do not do the office justice because of the difficulty in shooting angles, so why not come over and have a cup of coffee with me?

Mostly because in both cases the person did not want to speak with me about the offense, but instead wanted to go behind my back to [...]
