I wage a hopeless battle against clutter on my desk: every once in a while I tidy it up and in a few hours it reverts to its natural state of major entropy. So, just to amuse myself, I've decided to list, roughly once a month, all the stuff that's on my desk. Note: mine's a custom-made desk, L-shaped: the | is two meters long, the _ is 70 centimeters. So, there's a lot of space above it and also quite a lot below it (shelves, drawers, the like). A lot of space means a higher tolerance for clutter, which is good, but it also invites it more, since, well, there's space for it. Anyway, let's go:
Stuff that's always there:
- A small metal shelf, holding from top to bottom: the ADSL router/gateway, a wireless gamepad, an external hdd and a usb hub.
- lamp
- printer
- cordless phone
- mouse charger
- 4 satellites of a 5.1 audio system
- a wood thingie shaped as a cobra that holds my headphones
- headphones
- another usb hub
- a California Raisin figurine that looks like Michael Jackson during the Bad album era
- monitor (22')
- a table calendar with photos of kitties
- 2 pen holders with pens (gasp!), pencils, eraser and the likes
- mousepad
- wired mouse
- wireless mouse
- keyboard
- 5.1 audio system remote
- buffy season 7 dvd boxset
- angel season 5 dvd boxset
- a green cup
- a cat-shaped plate with a used tea-bag on it
- digicam battery charger
- digicam
- assorted notepads
- laptop
- book on ancient Egypt's art
- book of an Andy Wahrol's works exhibition
- diary
- flashlight
- cellphone charger
- house keys
- pocket rule
- newspaper
- drawers with assorted crap: old cd drives, ram chips, all manner of cables, blah blah
- pc case
- printer paper
- photo paper
- printer's ink cartridges
- empty boxes of computer stuff
- empty boxes of photo stuff
- joystick
So, this is the sitch right now, fairly manageable and decidedly not messy, since I tidy it up this morning. How much worse will it be in a month? The experiment has started!
