Alright, I'm game, I suppose.
Looking into my office from the hallway door
The view from my seat to the opposite corner
From that opposite corner to my seat.
Funny that both Hylian and I have a "corner for working on other people's systems" (the system currently being worked on is the open one with the purple desktop on the monitor) but the decor and tidyness are basically complete polar opposites.

Corner of my cube. Important notes and such.
Middle of my cube wall, I love this show greatly. My friend bought me the poster for Christmas. Might as well tag Charlie Don't Surf since he's with me that this is the best thing on TV right now.
Rest of my boss cube.
The view from my chair
Made this one day while bored:
When turned over it says
JUSTIFIED

Charlie Don't Surf, yes that is how my cube looks.
I would replace a few of the items there with less kiddy looking stuff but I would prefer not to bring stuff that has a high chance of being broken by a coworker or something plus I like it the way it is.

OMG, that Appa plushie!! <3 I'm in love.
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it but in the same sense I am entitled to my opinion. And my opinion is that like it and that other peoples opinions don't matter in the long run.
When I worked in a cube, I kept it rather spartan. I think I might have had a marvel themed calendar, but other than that I didn't really care what the walls looked like.
I'm sure Hylian's workstation works out fine for him, but to me it would just be distracting. Different preferences and all that.

Not only that, but I'm sure if his employer felt it was unprofessional, disruptive to Hylian's job performance, or against company policy he wouldn't be able to have those things in his cubicle. Whomever he works for is obviously ok with it, too.

Obviously you don't employ many I.T. professionals. I haven't met a one who didn't have "unprofessional" workspace oddities.

I work with many, all day, actually. Things are kept up and in nice shape. Some quirks and things, but nothing like that monstrosity in the OP. Yes, his employer allows it, and thats all good. I know I would not though, nor would my place of current employment. That is all I am saying.

Work with, not employ, I am reading. Who knows what wierdness lurks in your coworkers that only your boss knows and tolerates because they keep his outlook delivering?
No, you're also saying:
One could say your assessment is unprofessional, or at minimum unprofessionally delivered. Not that you need to be professional here, but some amount of hypocrisy is on exhibit here.

Heh, his boss might think it's ok, I wonder if the fire marshall agrees.
You have the happiest and cutest desk ever! I love it!I am a bit bored today so I thought it may be a bit fun if we posted some pictures of our cubes/desks/workspace/etc.
Outside my cube
When you first step inside
Corner of my cube (I use this area to plug peoples systems into so I can work on them)
Other side of my cube
I admit there are quite a few stuffed animals/plushies and if my boss or anyone of my coworkers made a complaint I would take them down. Luckily no one has done so yet and in fact I have seen cubes that were even less "professional". They may have had less stuffed animals but they had other oddities like a huge row of empty Sriracha bottles or other weird things like that. As far as being any kind of safety violation none of my stuff is blocking any exits and it not plugged in or anything so they are not violating any safety regulations.
My office has quite a few kid/family and cats pictures. I have a few pictures on my wall that my daughter made for me in addition to my diplomas. Before when I was in my cube I might have also had some pictures of Mr. Depp and Mr. Pitt

And you probably have less fabric in there than I have paper and cardboard in mine, anywho. Also, I have wall to wall and floor to ceiling carpet, sooooooooo..... foom.
Oh sure pull out the big guns and start questioning my gender
But seriously if anyone was actually trying to figure it out I am a guy
I've worked in enough places to know that if I had more than one plush animal I would have to start my day putting them back from the compromising position someone else placed them in overnight.
