What sort of view have you got when using your PC?

... and finally tastefully signed with my firstborn son's "christian name" initial.

The entire "mural" (in all its glory) behind my PC (with PVC pipe and sump pump in background):

I take it all back, you need to turn the light off again.

Saint Jiub, the family art makes all the difference in the ambiance. Having raised two boys myself I understand boys and that period they go through where "poops" is the funniest word ever spoken. At first I thought the area was too dark, but then I realized that I never turn the light on in here and so dark is just fine with me. It's like your own little cave.

The basement is my man cave and refuge.

The lighting is good enough to read a book or do the newspaper sudoku. The overhead light is equivalent to a fully cloudy day.

I had forgotten about the very faint chalk "artwork" for a few years, until Kurgan mentioned my blank wall.

Perhaps I was too harsh, get a lower wattage bulb until you decorate and turn your dungeon into a proper man cave!

Ok, I’ll play. I use either an iPad or laptop most of the time, so when the weather is nice I will be out on my front porch doing things. But I do still have an office where I do things, so the above pic shows where I sit when I am inside. It is in my basement...and sadly you can see from the chair how my cat loved to sit on my shoulders while I worked there!

As a stereotypical engineer, I mostly only care about functionality, and generally don't care about appearances.

Therefore, I consider my man dungeon to be the perfect man cave for me.

Also, my spider infested man cave is perfect ambience for my videogame dungeon crawling, where giant hairy spiders pounce and attack from above.

I fully accept your preferences, but consider them rather abnormal.
Each to his own of course.

I never claimed to be normal. I take pride in being quirky.

MyHumanZoo -

Fully agree with the teamwork and bossy ethos, more my sort of scene with nice surroundings and a few Queen items dotted about.

I agree, you are certainly not normal.
You've had 15 years to decorate.
That's plain lazy, not quirky.

Wow, just wow.

Thank you sir, may i have another?

I'm beginning to understand how you fell into a feud with Real Wizard.

My work space is a large roll-top desk in a small area at the top of our stairs on the second floor. The picture shows the right hand side of my desk (minus my wedding picture). You can't see it from the photo, but there is a full sized window to my left...I can reach out and touch it, so there is a lot of natural light. On top of the desk is a watercolor painting my husband did for me of a clay jar of lavender...Also sitting on top of the desk is a tambourine my husband gave me a couple of weeks ago (for playing along to certain Queen songs!) It replaced the Christmas bells I was using. :)

It's interesting how varied we are in our tastes...whatever works for us and makes us happy is good!
