I work at an MSP and we all have little shrines of random shit on our desks that we've collected. The one guy has a mini filing cabinet under his desk of tech shit that's nearly as old as I am (I'm 27).

If we are ever told that we can't have our shrines, we'll all be devastated.

In the corner of our office we have an old Win2k workstation. It is our pinball machine and the glue that holds our department together

That's hilarious. We had a desk dedicated to Datto devices. It was the Datto Desk. We were really upset when it had to be cleared for a new employee. Now we have another desk dedicated to empty phone boxes and tissues.

We are moving to a new building next year, so I'm sure we'll come up with all new stuff to enshrine.
