I didn’t have Richard in mind when I drew this, but rather all the lovely people who write to me and comment and send their best wishes and suggest remedies for my assorted conditions. You don’t always get the replies you deserve.

Papers
Dave may have been thinking of himself and not Richard when he posted this cartoon, but it seems appropriate for My Messy Desk.
Am I not counted in the lovely people who write to you? You cut me to the quick!
Richard – yes, I did phrase it badly. You are indeed an inspiration and an example to us all
That’s more like it! 
I am a paper hoarder but no longer in denial. last year I got rid of my filing basket and told myself, firmly, that I should file paper when I had finished with it, not on some unstated, future occasion. Instead of doing this however, I found an empty draw in my stereo system cupboard behind my desk and started filing paper in there.
At our staff meeting I confessed to this and asked them to help me by holding me regularly to account by nagging me into doing my filing. I cleared out the draw and started to recover.
Then I developed a habit of throwing paper to be filed on the floor so that I could walk over to the filing cabinet with it next time I was going that way (it is a two metre walk and very draining). It is a good thing to get up from your desk and take a two metre walk every now and again, especially if, like me, you have had a back problem in the past. Why can’t I learn?
Thanks for the cartoons. Feel free to join the naggers.
Now for the in-tray.
In my last work place we had a specially designated, uh, filing cabinet, which we coded B-1-N. Unsurprisingly, it became my most well-used filing system ever. I’m thinking of reinstating it here.
OK, so the joke lost a little in the line break. Sigh – I don’t think I’ll be giving up the day job just yet.
Jack – it’s ok, the line break fell well for me. You can indeed give up the day job.
ST, thank you for sharing. I mean that sincerely.
