Toys you've taken to work?

What toys have you taken into work?

It all started with our boss buying one of those indoor helicopters that never made it home - so not to be left out, I bought my remote flying saucer in.

Great fun - ahhmm - back to work.

I have a couple of action figures sitting on my desk. I believe it started because I bought Edward Scissorhands and he looked so sad and pathetic, I thought he'd be less so at work.

Not on purpose, but my daughter's "My Little Ponies" got put in my purse and I didn't realize until I was reaching for my chapstick and one fell out. Needless to say, I got some funny looks

I've got a smiley-face devil skateboarder, a mini-Gumby and Pokey, a pop-up San Francisco keychain, and a moibus ball on my desk. People play with them when they come over and talk to me. I play with them when I have a jerk on the phone trying my patience. I've also got a couple of polar bear figurines, a room-service-sized bottle of ketchup, an apple-shaped eraser, three interesting containers of mints, half a dozen mugs, and a very small level. Also a four-inch wooden witch and a furry spider for Halloween. People tend to bring me things with which to decorate my desk.

I have a lot of spooky toys in my office: Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, a Morticia Addaams action figure, an Alien, Lenore, Tim Burton toys and a pumpkin candy holder.

I wish I could take some of my toys (see coeliandjeff.blogspot.com ) to work but I can't because we don't have our own cubicles and we share workstations with other people from other shifts.

It's depressing.
