Do any of y'all keep religious at work or accessories at your place of work?

Obviously I know it can be taboo at some public companies but I've been blessed to own my own company and have really enjoyed adding icons, statues, relics and sculptures to my desk over the years.

Whenever I'm stressed out at work I take a few seconds to meditate on these holy people's lives and ask for intercession and it makes me feel better.

Would love to see some of your spaces

Sorry, bro... No pictures allowed of my workspace. It's classified. I have a Sacred Heart image nearby. Pondering the Holy Face.

I have my bible and scripture verses in my office. It shouldn't have been difficult for me to have them out openly but it was.

Be salt and light out there! Sometimes it little things.

I burn incense from Mount Athos in my office as it reminds me of liturgy.

I smoke a cigar in there sometimes too so it helps with that too.

I too obviously own my own business…

I have a wooden name plate type thing, but with the Jesus Prayer on it that sits just below my monitors.

I have a small Holy family icon on my desk and the Memorare hanging on my wall in my office at work. At my desk at home, an oil painting of St. Maximilian Kolbe and a mother and child print.

Those crosses were made by patients. We also offer prayer to our patients.

Hmm
Just imagine if you get laid off (God forbid) and you have to carry all that stuff out of the office.....

The last time I had "stuff" on my desk (kids photos) was about 12 years ago. Back then, corps were still somewhat humane. Things have gotten really bad in the last 10 years so one never knows what might happen the next day.
I work from home and I have some religious stuff on my desk.

That is why you own your own business.

Maybe its just a generational thing, but I have no problem burning incense in my home. But smoking a cigar indoors just seems.....absurd.

Its one thing to hotbox a cheap rental home in college, its another to do it in my 30s where I'm the guy that pays for the very expensive air filters. With a wife and kids around to complain about the smell and ask too many questions.

I'm a public school teacher and I have a cross on the table by the printer, a bible verse on my computer and a bible on my desk.

Today, I invited 2 pastors to my room to pray over and bless the room for the coming year.

Last year I found these drawings done of maps from Pilgrim's Progress and had to have them in my office. I believe the artist has done work for Pixar in the past as well.

I'm not 22 in college.

I have a $5500 cigar smoke filtration system in the office.

It has a filters too that I'm sure are expensive. Hopefully when you get to 40 you no longer even account for the costs of filters.

You can smell it a bit the same day but it's fresh smoke. Next day it's 100% gone.

I pay for all that and my wife and kids have never been to my office.

At home I have a lounge that is detached from the house that has the same setup.

I smoke a cigar pretty much every day so it is what it is.

Send me that info on the cigar filtration system. I have wood paneling in my office and have always wanted to smoke in it but have been worried about pissing off my employees.

Let me ask. I think it's Blue Ox but that could be wrong.

I had a couple of on wall units that were pretty good at one point. Rabbit Air

Those were pretty good but I was going for near zero.

I have not smoked there? Is that indoors or just a great spot for a cigar outside? I go to London 1-2 times a year.

Best place on earth. Less so on the East side now but whatever.

That's actually at the outdoor patio since it was nice outside. The Wellesley is a great Marriott hotel in Knightsbridge right not to Hyde Park and Buckingham palace. It's my favorite place to use my Marriott points.

I work at a large, Catholic owned factory. The majority of employees are also Catholic. On the outside of the office are giant engravings of the Sacred an Immaculate Hearts with the words "Ad Jesum per Mariam." Every department has pictures or statues of the Crucifix, The Blessed Virgin, and St Joseph. The most beautiful thing is the morning prayers. Right before starting work, those who choose to join (which ends up being the majority of workers), have time to gather and kneel for prayer. It's easily the best environment I have ever worked at.

I'm impressed. But I don't believe any smoker when they say, 'You can't smell it.' Whether its a dryer sheet or ultra premium filters.

That being said, I'm sure it smells great actually and there's no reason to invest in that level of filtration.

My take would be if a generation of indians can cook with curry, not do a damn thing about it, and the next homeowner has to kilz the whole house, you can have a cigar lounge without filtration and it be the next homeowners problem when you die.

Big difference in cigarette smokers and cigars. Cigarette smoke is for worse than cigars. That's why cigar lounge won't let you smoke cigarettes in their lounges because it destroys the filters.

We're also talking about one or two cigars a week versus people that blow through a pack or two a day.

I'm actually quite sensitive to smoke and why I have the filtration I have. I don't like to breathe it at all. I always have a small fan beside me to divert it away instantly.

Wow how this thread devolved into cigar talk. Take it to the cigar board. Jk.

All the pastors in my school district hosted a prayer breakfast for all district employees yesterday. School board president, superintendent, principals and more were in attendance and several prayed over those in attendance. Bibles were handed out for classrooms by a local church.

It was a really cool event with hundreds of employees in attendance.
