My coffee mug at work

Here is a pic of my coffee mug at work. As you can see it has my home
city on the mug. That is to show people where I am from in the world. I do not even drink coffee. It is just one of those things that everyone who work in an office does. They have coffee mugs. I just jumped on the band wagon and got one also, it is more my mini trash can than anything else. You ever wonder why people follow along with the crowd. Is it sub-conscience or just to belong. Me I did it because I do collect coffee mugs and it gives me an excuse to have something on my desk. No I am lying I did it because everyone has one J

You have to wonder sometimes whether the things we do now are done because we want to do them or are we doing them because we want to be apart of group -- for example, facebook, ipods, etc.

I am sure anyone who considers themselves a leader likes to think they do a lot of things on their own. That may be true in some case i.e. buying a house. But most of the time we do like to belong to the big group. Jumping on the new crack berry phase for example. I am sure you can justify having one, you rally need it for work, it is affordable now, you got one for free. They had crack berries a year ago and you have been in the same job for a year.

I think its a wonderful idea. It shows that you are well aware of your surrondings and you don't mind being apart of them.

Yes, it does show that you want to be part of the group. But do you think being part of your surrindings is always a good thing?
