Monitor RearView Mirror

[FuxOC]

Where can i get a round mirror like this http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/things/2940.html for less than the outrageous $12 on that site? I know usually companies give this stuff away for free as promotional items. I can't find any to buy online help if you can. I hate my cube.

If you want a simpler solution, just go to your nearest auto parts store and buy one of the "blind spot" mirrors. They come in all shapes and sizes and show that you have a lil more originality...

Old hard drive platters also work well.

Hmm. This isn't a bad idea. My cubicle at work faces backwards. Er, better wording is that I sit w/my back to the aisle. I work in a small office (huge building, but my office is small) only 20 people in here. No radio and very little background noise. A tomb, actually. They are all older (50+) and have no life. They love to walk slowly in back of me to see what I'm doing. I've caught each and every one of them doing it at one time or another. They love to see me posting on Anandtech instead of standing by the fax machine and complain about everyone else in the office like they do.

The mirror would let me see them sneaking up on me. Hmmm. Maybe I'll get THIS! and strap it to the top of my monitor. Think they'll get the hint?

AOL sends out monitor mirrors all the time. People at work use them.

You just must become one with your office, and then you will be able to notice when someone is coming. I'm damn good at it, I can tell from the sound just when someone is coming to my cube, so I alt tab out of anandtech and into Word (where a convienent document is up and waiting so it looks like I'm working. I've "worked" on the same report for a week now . My boss has a very distinctive footfall, so I always alt-tab into word when I hear it, on the off chance he's coming to see me.

You guys just aren't any good at pretending to work I'd make Scott Adams proud
