Sorry for my blog silence -- I've been swamped in work, and then to top it off, I got sick yesterday and missed a day of work (!).
I'm heading to Arizona State University today to go to a workshop on engineering ethics, and to visit my sister-in-law and her family, so the blogging silence is likely to continue on my part. Looks like ScienceWoman will capably hold down the fort - she's a super-poster!
Until then, I've been walking around with a camera in my bag for the last 2 weeks with some random photos on it. It includes a photo of my office door, which is decidedly more bestickered than those of my colleagues here in the School of Engineering Education. Wouldn't it be cool if posting a photo of one's office door turned into a meme? Share your door in the comments. :-) And see mine below the fold.
My door displays:
- Seminar announcements for American Studies, Project Respect, Black History Month, Women's Studies, and the Grad Student Educational Research Symposium
- The poem sent out to NWSA members who renewed
- Announcements for the Engineer 2.0 symposium and other symposia
- The snack list for seminar, and the sign-up sheet for a seminar speaker visitor (who, alas, is no longer coming)
- An ad for the Civil Copy Center with a photo of a guy who does NOT look happy to help you
- An invitation for some College of Engineering event that has my photo on the front, posted (along with graffiti) by a colleague
- The ENE seminar flyer
- A rainbow triangle
A folder with flyers for the Engineering Education seminar that I run, with a PhD comic posted on it
What does your door look like?

I have no door of my own...that's what happens when you're abd. graduate already is what the admin says. Does the library door or starbux door count? hahaha
We are under very strict orders to put absolutely nothing on our office doors. So the most you'll see around our building is an occasional post-it note saying that someone will be back in a few minutes or is out sick. On the bulletin board next to my door, I have my schedule, copies of syllabi, announcements about upcoming seminars, an article touting the great job market in -ology, and the requisite Doonesbury cartoon. Pretty standard stuff.
Is that a PhD Comic I spy?
And yeah, no door for me. My desk is decorated instead.
A photo of my door would show the entire office. We have huge windows between the offices and the hallway. I have no idea who came up with that idea, but it feels a bit like being in an aquarium. I have put up a poster from a recent meeting to cover most of the window.
I've got a de-motivational poster, a poster that says "water" in 10 different languages, a couple stray seminar flyers, and a long list of names, most of which are crossed out with "x moved here" or "y graduated (yay!)". That's what happens when you've got a 7-person grad student office.
My husband has a marble run I got him for his birthday on it. The students love to come visit his office!
Our (shared) office door has a poster of the tissue-specific and circadian expression patterns of the entire nuclear receptor super-family (in mice), and a plastic pocket with take-out/delivery menus in it so that we can find them when the urge for Ethiopian or sushi strikes...
