Dave, I’m just puzzled as to why the biggest section appears to be for the paper clips, is there any significance in this?

No room for your laptop? You must remove it from your desk!

Chris, haven’t you got x-ray eyes? It clearly says, underneath the laptop “place for laptop”.
I’m frankly surprised though, that Dave has no space for “books I referred to last week, and left out in case I needed them again”. When I get my desk (as opposed to using the dining room table), I will be sure to have a large area for this purpose. Currently, I have to put these books in the bookcase at mealtimes, with the risk that someone else will take them for some silly reason such as they wanted to use them. Not naming any names, you understand…

Of course, my mistake. I didn’t want to wipe his hard drive with the X-rays though you understand, or we might lose out on some more wonderful cartoons.

Gosh your desk is organised. Mine just has heaps of stuff I didn’t do last week, the week before, the week before that and so on. In my defence I have just had a week and a half off sick (and I’d already booked it as leave, what a waste!)
One day soon I’m going to resort it into piles according to urgency or type of work, or maybe even both if I’m feeling really grippy.
Meanwhile I have to get off the web and go and do the Sunday rota.
And I only logged on to find out if money from Guernsey is legal tender in the UK (we got some in the collection this week)

Ah, so it’s not just me then. Though things I have that you don’t seem to (probably because there’s no room left) are ipod, corsage, lamp, old chocolate box with business cards in, tea light, pot with money in and a library card! Oh and an old Christmas card.

You have made me feel much better. “My” desk is shared with the children and my husband who always gets frustrated by the clutter. I also have an adjacent window ledge which acts as an auxilliary dumping ground. It is also where I like the cat to sit in preference to ontop of my keyboard, especially when she has muddy feet.

jody says:
ooh Rachel
I too have a window ledge dumping ground – too piled high with books for the cat tho
she gets unceremoniously dumped on the ground… -
jody says:
oh dear, that smiley is far too sad! i didn’t realise that when i typed it. the cat not getting to sit on the window ledge is not that bad.
here’s a smiley smiley to make up for it.
-
jody says:
okay, explain to me why that smiley did not become a smiley!
-
jody says:
bizarre smiley censorship! outrageous!

I may have to take a picture later of both my home desk, and my work desk. Currently, my work desk has a little table to the right that’s an annexe – actually, it’s a wooden TV tray, piled high with items that I keep meaning to blog about. Mostly, a shoebox full of letters between my mom and dad before they got married. A Tai Chi instructional video. A humorous news-quiz calendar.
On the desk itself: a laptop shelf thing. Some Moleskine journals full of scribblings about past trips, old Bishop’s Committee meetings, and a veritable up-chuckery of thoughts and feelings related to my mom’s final illness and some stupid conflicts that arose out of a period of temporary idiocy on my part.
Work desk: something else again. I’m home sick today, and trying not to think about the things on my desk at work. What has been done is done. What is undone is undone. Let it be.

I have found some unlabelled space on your desk though. Is that leisure space??…
