    Got a new job, own office... What would you say are the bare necessities?

    I recently got a new full time job as a tech support specialist. I got my own office for the first time and my boss told me that I could order anything that I think I need.

    I have a brand new laptop and 19 inch widescreen monitor but I am trying to figure out what things I would need to make my everyday work day easier...

    So far I have the following:

    Desk Lamp
    Desk Fan
    Phone headset
    Mouse pad
    Ergo keyboard
    Flash Drive?
    Ergo chair
    Waste basket
    Shelving
    File cabinet
    Hole punch
    Scissors

    Anything else? I know this is a noob question but I just think I will forget things that I will need later on.

    Any input is great!

    Inspirational artwork (I have porn posters myself).

    It really depends on your position and type of work.

    I've found having plenty of writing instruments and paper to scratch notes on keeps me going throughout the day. I figured out quickly to write everything down no matter how simple the task is and there's a lot less chance that you'll get behind or forget about it.

    You'll have a lot less of the managers jumping down your throat a week later after you forgot to do "X" to "Y's" workstation.

    flash drive helps a lot...make it bootable and store all your favorite tools and such...also a good pair of headphones or earbuds helps pass the time also a dry erase boards helps too
