Or, what lives on what passes for a writing surface/home/work command center? Nicked again from the Washington Post: Sigh. I do enjoy having these things around me, like a child keeping his favorite toys in his bed. Of course, I presume everyone accumulates these sorts of items at the desk where they write or work or read. What are some of the more literary tchotchkes you keep near at hand? Share them with me. ============================== There's the PC and monitor and feeble speakers barely squeaking out sound. A mountain of paid bills (and perhaps a couple unpaid, horrors!). A box of envelopes, a series of unlabelled oral xrays...I think mine...a digital camera, set of headphones, a practice profile packet, Chaplet of Divine Mercy brochure, two beer bottle caps, a couple educational DVDs for the kiddies, a Spring Creek BBQ kiddie cup with all the rim chewed on (thanx, Nathan). Anything else is hidden under piles of the bills!
I use an antique roll top desk, so the surface area is quite small. My keyboard, monitor and mouse ... that's all! On top of the desk is a lamp, a framed picture of my grandson and a framed picture from my most recent trip to Playa. Michael ... bottle caps, dental x-rays and a kiddie cup!?!?!?! clean it up! :lol:
Monitor, scanner/printer, speakers, a whole lot of miscellaneous crap, a checkbook, and couple of pictures. The attached hutch has assorted paperwork and files stashed in it and the top is littered with numerous pictures, candles, a crystal vase (lacking flowers), and an inoperative lamp (ha!).
oh the usual stuff, 3 monitors, keyboard, mouse, laptop, endless building plans and paperwork ... unfortunately personalising desks is frowned upon where i work!
haha well my desk is quite messy at the moment: computer candles picture frames wine glass AST cup with pens/pencils/scissors/staples/lighter/etc. etc. in it lamp fan coffee mug holding thumb tacks house season 1 dry erase board and markers earmuffs headband sunglasses grad school papers poptarts various USB wires (camera, MP3 Player, etc.) stamps AST calendar dry erase board cleaner lotion highlighters note cards check book ibuprofen speakers... that is all
Everything but the kitchen sink... monitor keyboard track ball mouse telephone lamp box of tissue "file copy" stamp can of Pepsi Puerto Vallarta Mug w/ water car keys signature stamp 3 containers of paper clips stapler calculator staples notepad cell phone post its half eaten brownie pen holder over flowing with pens mirror business card holder w/ cards mini pumpkin...from halloween clear desk pad w/pictures and calendar underneath loose change bluetooth angel christmas ornament various souvenirs from co-workers speakers interoffce envlopes napkins inbox filled with recruitment folders liquid paper staple remover Mcdonald's Monopoly game pieces files, files and more files paper, paper and more paper
