Today is my first day back at work, after being out for a month due to a broken femur. My boss has been bugging me for awhile to get some decorations on my desk, so I decided to take care of that and reward myself for getting back to work at the same time. Half-size (18" wide) Nurburgring from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! should be here within 10 days! They are running a 10% off promo on Facebook with the code "FB10" so that made the decision easier too. haha

Please tell me that no one else knows what the hell it is like my work?

Linear Edge, right?

Actually, I work for a branch of a major German auto parts manufacturer; so quite a few people here will actually know what it is. haha

Lucky, I would get a WTF is that, some weird chemical thing? Or high art weirdness? No one would have any idea what it actually is.

Actually a Texas based company called Track Sculptures (linked above). Same thing though. Except they seem to be a bit cheaper than LE, and offer a downsized/more affordable version of the Nurburgring (which is the one I bought).

I love these. Griot's flagship store has a few of them. Little too spendy for my cubicle, though...

The half-size version that I got is 18" wide and only cost $89.99 with the discount code. Still unnecessarily expensive for an office decoration, but like I said I wanted to treat myself and I can always take it home and hang it above my bed. lol I also plan on getting the Lego VW T1 Camper Van set for another desktop addition eventually, which will be like $130. haha

I love that Lego set. But none of my cubicle (or home office) decorations exceed about $10...

Where might someone find something like this?

Too bad it doesn't model the elevation changes.

I work in HR at a good-sized online retailer. In the whole office, none of the HR, marketing, tech, or executive people have any fun cubicle or office decorations. Some of the web content people have a few decorations, but the customer service people get to go CRAZY with their decorations. You go over there and it's like "hey this part of the office actually looks fun!" I wanted to decorate my office but didn't want to stick out amongst all the other boring HR and marketing people in my neck of the woods.

Yep—they're the same people who run the TrackDecals store. Local to Austin, so my shipping times always rule. Good people.

Check out the hyperlink embedded in the post under "Track Sculptures" ;)

That would be amazing! Also, much much more expensive lol

Pretty much everyone here decorates their desks, and since it's an automotive company there are lots of auto themed decorations. I think I will be winning with this one though. haha

Yeah, I'm in Illinois now. Hoping that it doesn't take the full 10 days haha. Too bad I'm not in AZ anymore, that would definitely be quicker.

These are all decorations that will become bedroom/living room/home office decor should I ever move on, but working at an automotive company they are fun to have here at the desk and they fit in.

I had no idea Track Decals was in Austin. I literally just got some stickers from them on Friday. And next on the list is some track sculptures for my house.

I could go broke on the TS site, and that is just from the tracks that I have actually driven on. Add in the ones I want to drive, and man that is a lot cash. How much does a kidney bring these days?

It is required I make a crack about "half-sized" and say "so, your cubicle's about 3 miles wide, then?"
