Awwww.. you've got a pencil case. Ain't that sweet!!
Funny you should mention colleagues thinking you're weird for taking photos of the office.... I thought exactly the same thing so when I took mine I turned the shutter sound off so people would just think I was looking at my phone. Took a few photos and noticed a couple of people looking at me but didn't think anything of it.
THEN I REALISED I HAD LEFT THE FLASH ON!!!!!
hahahah! That's brilliant!
And yes, I have a pencil case, but I have to...i'm still a student It's like having an overdraft...it's a requirement.
