I work behind the scenes in a library (vs. in reference or circ) and fortunately most of the people back here are a little nutty one way or the other. Initially I kept my geek flag low, but my boss thinks it's funny + is kind of geeky herself so now I just let it go. And it's been pretty good so far, the Cthulhu I have on my desk led my boss to ask for the crocheting pattern. Another guy brought by his Cthulhu water bottle & two coworkers have paid me to make them their own crocheted Cthulhus.
I posted pics on my blog last week about the touch of geek in my workspace. There are places I've worked where I've kept it all very much to myself, but it's really a lot more fun when I can express it a little.
I always have the geeky stuff around, although low level most of the time, although anyone who talks to me about anything other than work figures it out instantly. Funny, because I did an article about geekifying your workspace not that long ago! Geekify Your Workspace
