Meanwhile, I'm trying hard to keep my creative juices flowing in my subconscious while I'm slogging away at my real job. I switched offices this week, and since I have an office to myself, I took the opportunity to decorate in ways that remind me of my ultimate writing goals while contributing to the 'fun/unique' culture expected by my current employer. While I may sometimes wish that I could skip out on my day job, I must admit that it's pretty sweet to work someplace where I'm actually *encouraged* to put up things like a vintage Bon Jovi poster, several postcards of romance novel covers, and a fiber optic bonsai tree. At least I can get a few moments of visual escape in my office when I'm up to my eyeballs in Excel spreadsheets or management meetings.
What do you do to keep yourself sane at work? I use stress balls, interesting decorating principles, and the occasional Nerf blowdart -- but what do you use?

Congrats on becoming a PRO, I hope to be joining you soon.
Now moving on to the day job and sanity, the truth is that in my line of work, being a little insane is not such a bad thing (I'm a case manager). But regardless of how delusional I might get, every time I help a client solve a problem, the relief and gratitude on their faces, makes me go crazy with satisfaction. My clients supply the fuel I need to keep my reality going, and my writing keeps me balanced when I’m up to my neck in reality.
