You talk to a plant at work?

  Hey, that guy is talking to a plant - what a weirdo. Anyway, rubber duck, as I was saying...

    You should have seen my wife when I took my baby's rubber duck (one of the many) and started talking to it. I had to show her the wiki page [1] to convince her I am not (completely) crazy.

  Plant, fidget spinner, stress balls, Lego, abacus etc. Bouncing a foam ball off my keyboard (not the keys, the hard bit at the top) onto my monitor. That is much worse for my workmates than a one-way floral chat.

  When Sun Microsystems fell apart into SunSoft, SunLabs, etc, Scott McNealy called an all-hands meeting and gave everyone a pep-talk, and said there would be some big changes, so nobody should be hugging their tree. He repeated that several times, making tree hugging gestures to emphasize what we were not supposed to do: No Tree Hugging!!! So I went to my manager and complained that I never got a tree. I promised not to hug it, but I insisted that I wanted my own tree, too.
