The FME Lego Lizard recently landed at the Safe offices, and it got us curious - do you have a furry, plastic, Lego, or stuffed animal friend keeping you company in your workspace?

We’d love to see who shares your office! Share a photo or tell us about your office buddy in the comments below.

New to the Question of the Week? 

Every week, we’ll post a simple but thought-provoking question that could be about your FME journey, the power of spatial data, FME innovation, or the future of FME.

Each weekly question you answer earns you an entry in our monthly draw for exclusive Safe swag ($50 value) and points toward badges! Answer our July Questions of the Week by July 31, 2025 at 5:00 pm PDT to be entered in this month’s draw.

Answer your first question and you’ll get the Socializer (Ice Breaker) badge. Answer five questions and you’ll get the Socializer (Talker) badge.

TRexy is a bit of a mascot for us. TRexy travels too. 😎
 

 

We have a rather extensive collection of rubber duckies at the office and various FME-related toys (Zipsters, Lizards, mini-Craig), a plushie office cat (since our building doesn't allow real ones) and plants.

But my favourite might just be the map dragon a friend origami'd for me a long time ago from some USGS topo quads I got from another friend even longer ago

Even better: the municipality I currently live in has a connection to the legend of St George and the Dragon, so there's a lot of dragons in public art and people's front yards. So now I can truthfully put “here be dragons” on my maps 😄

When working from my home office I'm always accompanied by Nessie

monster of Loch Ness

 

I'm accompanied by one of many lockdown creations, there's a few other friends about too.

 

I have an assortment of cups and plates that keep me company on my desk - each with a different level of coffee dregs or crumbs. No way am I taking any photos of my desk….😅 

My colleague is pretty unreliable, sleeps on the job, often shows up late or not at all. Also likes to make lots of noise when I’m on calls.

He does get a catpuccino if he shows up to work on time...

My desk often resembles a similar state…..


I also have this iconic New Zealand poster (If you know, you know - found in most take away shops) above my desk
