Expressing yourself in the workplace can be a difficult thing to do. You get so few options to do it, so you relish the ones you can get away with. Maybe you have an open desk plan, so nobody really keeps anything on their desk. Maybe you have a dress code so you're not really showing up in your funkiest, truest-to-self attire. You feel like a drone or a robot, doing the things you're supposed to do and showing no humanity or individuality in the process. This can wear on you after a while. You want to let go and express yourself when you can, but there is so little room to do that in a regular office job. Except maybe your mug. Your mug can say everything you want it to say about you.
The possibilities of mugs are infinite. There are funny mugs, sentimental mugs, irreverent mugs. You take your pick. Mugs are an important part of office culture. If you're anything like me, you're using one every day. One of the best parts of your day is pouring up a cup of hot coffee and enjoying your beverage as you start your workday. It's one of those little office rituals that gets us out of bed in the morning. And if you want to express yourself with a fun mug, then you should be able to do that, within reason, of course.
