Do you Keep a Messy or Tidy Desk?

[MMC]

I have multiple desks. The one I usually use the most is half-way in between but do not ever open the drawers--Ever--evil things live in them. They are so scary I don't even open the drawers. They are each their own little Jack-In-The-Pandora's-Box

Actually I don't mind my desk being messy.....but now the kitchen. That's another story. No telling what time a snack will just magically appear. :lol:

From afar, it looks tidy. But the drawers are a mess. I need to work on that.

That's what I call the illusion of clean.

OK, my desk at work isn't spotless, since yanno.. I do work there.

Well I have a practical reason-- a lot of paper crosses my desk at any given time, some of which tends to stick there indefinitely if I do not shuffle it along. If I put something in the wrong file, it can be a massive undertaking to find it again. I have literally spent several full days trying to track down an important document that I really needed, that I knew I had, that I had mixed in with papers from other files. As time passes between the time I last had it and the time it is realized missing, the time involved in locating it grows exponentially.

My desk hasn't been that clean since 4 days before I got it!

I had to vote Rutebega because the Poll question is not a "yes or no" answer. (Do you keep a clean or messy desk? Yes I keep a clean or messy desk; No I keep a clean or messy desk). Shoulda been 1. Clean, 2. Messy, 3. Odd Couple, etc.

Having said that I keep an immaculate desk. Everything on top is organized, and everything in all but one drawer is organized. The one drawer is the "small supplies" drawer, where I keep paper clips, pens, white out, etc.

Nice comfy chair too.....I would throw one of those back massagers on that style of a chair. Just sayin. :lol:

My PC desktop is also clean. The only icon on it is the Recycle Bin that's only because I can't find a way to get rid of it.

Show or hide the Recycle Bin

Thanks! Is that new? I could swear I used that to remove most of my other desktop icons but don't remember seeing the recycle bin there. It's gone now though.
