The view from my window

I recommend decorating the railings, otherwise as time goes on, you will end up thinking you are in prison.

Railing decoration can be done in many inexpensive yet entertaining ways.

For example:

1. You could save up used crisp packets and using only the best quality duct tape, attach them to the railings in large quantities. This will make them look like one of those curious Chinese prayer tree thingies.

2. Purchase a large quantity of yellow paint. Apply paint to railings, while at the same time applying paint liberally to self. Spend several weeks attempting to remove yellow paint from self.

3. Obtain large (and, preferably, weatherproof) photograph of a tropical beach. This will also make the office feel warmer.

4. Systematically execute all of your colleagues, by impaling them wholesale upon the railings. Once dead, you can remove the heads if you prefer, or leave the entire ensemble as a handy way of attracting wildlife in the shape of flesh-eating birds.
