They decorate the walls of their cubicles or offices with pictures of loved ones, plants and an assortment of personal memorabilia. No matter what their professional level, when someone's spending 40, 50, 60 hours a week on the job, that feeling of home-away-from-home can extend to use of electronic devices and computers provided by their employer...
