Answer 1

I have a Page-A-Day Cranium calendar on my desk.  Every day it gives new puzzles/activities to do either solo or with other ppl in the office.  Extremely entertaining.

Also, if you want to spark "interesting" conversations you could put up a poster of Hitler/Stalin/Hussein/George W. Bush.

Actually, you could make your own and print inspirational/motivational posters.  They can be very funny and won't offend as many people as Hitler/Stalin/Hussein/George W. Bush.  Check out this link: http://diy.despair.com/motivator.php

Good luck and have a great day!

Answer 2

A big huge desk calender, family photos, a mini ipod dock, a rubics cube, a 3d framed photo to study, that may be enough.  Too much stuff will scream boredom.

Answer 3

stuffed wombat,  picture of the vp in a camo picture frame, lava lamp?

Answer 4

flowers, ikebana arrangements, some favorite books and art albums, some photos with beloved persons...

all these will make your space more appropriately and friendly to you

Answer 5

Houseplants.  They increase humidity and they produce negative air ions (anions) which have positive effects.  They fight positive ions (cations) which have negative effects--they are thought to cause fatigue, irritability, and upper respiratory problems.

Green leafy plants also seem to reflect light.  A group of them is like an oasis.  If your office light is florescent you will need low-light plants like peace lily and golden pothos.  Keep them in clay pots, make sure the soil drains well and water and mist regularly.
