    I was actually just thinking today that when I get my new L desk at work and privacy screens, I’m gonna get a sun lamp and grow my own grass in a pot on my desk.

    I work in IT and taken on a much more removed roll, so it makes sense because I get out even less now.

      Oh man we just convinced our boss to let us move out of the basement to a beautiful office with huge windows that wasn’t being used.

      I’m getting so many plants!

        That’s awesome! Do it up! I’m so looking forward to the extra space. I’ve considered being impatient and taking over the spare desk next to me lol people just keep using it for storage and it’s making the big boss twitchy, so it would really be two birds one stone…

      There’s a pretty wild variety of decorative grasses that’d look kick-ass as an office plant.

        I’d wanna try and keep it a native type though, I’m in an industrial setting and our environmental people would probably flip my desk if they caught wind of non-native plant introduction on site… they’re super dire all the time.

        All “we need this data for our month end and it hasn’t been populating for 3 weeks! The government regulator is going to fine us into oblivion blah blah blah”. One time they flipped out because it had been something like 3 months of no data but they didn’t tell us until a few days before the current month’s due date. Really hard to take them seriously on their issue priorities. But they totally flip my desk for bringing fancy grass lol
