Just curious as to whether everyone else’s environment is as crazy as mine this Friday afternoon. My desk needs some help. It’s current residents include:
- Many gigabytes worth of compact flash cards that need cleaning off.
- A lightsaber.
- A stack of mail as big as my head.
- Various pieces of camera equipment.
- A baseball trophy I got when I was nine (don’t ask why it’s there).
- A small stack of $20s (yeah!).
- My watch that needs a new battery.
- The How design annual.
- Enough empty Dr. Pepper cans to crush me were they all to fall on me at once.

1) A half eaten spicy chicken soft taco.
Piles upon piles of paper (work) that needs to be processed.
2) A dozen stuffed or toy cows.
3) About 20 pictures of my son (on the wall).
4) Several binders of manuals.
5) Two dozen writing utensils.. pens, pencils, markers, highlighters… you get the idea.
6) One mug with about 1/4 inch of week old hot tea, one mug with cough drops in it, one almost empty coke cup from earlier today, one empty (but dirty) travel mug from home, and an empty Arizona Ice tea can.
7) Envelopes.
9) Printer/scanner/copier.
10) Two monitors.. cuz one just ain’t enuff!
11) Speakers, phone, mouse.
12) Ink stamps (for work)
13) Medicine.
14) Scratch #1, I’ve finished the taco.
15) Four bookends that have been sitting there forever waiting to go home with me.
16) Hand cream
17) Two inboxes, one outbox, one basket of “need to do” that wasn’t included in the piles mentioned in #8.
What a busy Friday! Oh, and after I leave here at 4:30pm I have to be at my restaurant job that starts at 4:30!
Hope your day goes well!

@chadmaag Enjoy Helvetica. Amazing film.
@brian My unread/useless mail is mostly bills. I think I’ll ignore it a while longer.
@bekah I couldn’t sit amongst that many cows all day without getting very, very hungry.
@David So is the TV 42″ or is the remote 42″? Cause that’s one giant remote, man.
@Pete And how big is our desk?
And I’m the only one with a lightsaber on my desk so clearly I could take you all if the need arose.
