After you third question don't forget to tell them they are wrong because they were told something else earlier. That's my favorite.

On my lunch break I either put on a hoodie over my uniform and go fot a walk or sit in my car.

It won't help. Last week right before the President's helicopter landed here the place was crawling with various agents. A van unloaded several men in armor with scary looking guns and unfriendly dogs. They were instantly swarmed by tourists asking directions.

Is this your office in the photo? If so who is that on the right?

Yes, it is my office, deep within the bowels of a monolithic government building. And yes, it is a homemade leg lamp... and a homemade Han in Carbonite, an Ogee clock, a lightsaber, one of the radio models my family sold commercially during the 20's and 30s, a 70s Kenner Darth Vader, a 1:10 scale Porsche 906 chassis I modeled and 3D printed, a small theremin, misc. parts of cars I owned, some Play-Doh, two lightning rods, photos of: Don Knotts, my wife, our three children and my dear, departed cat Clovis, two slot cars, my one-rung "ladder of success", and the head of Tom Servo. None of it relates to my actual job.

Sorry to hijack the thread - probably should have started a "what's in your office?" thread.

That is awesome, if I had an office I'd like to think it would have some cool E36 M3 like that.

One does not simply "make" a "Han in carbonite" without detailing how.
