I got my new camera yesterday. I love it. I was messing about here and thinking about the pictures that the lovely Patricia put up of her work area a couple of weeks ago.
Well, here's my messy area. Wow. It's not normally that bad.
So check it out (click on it for the full image) and see how much of the crap on my desk you can identify. I didn't place anything there to be a prop. That's just how scary it was this morning.

Posted by: patricia on March 6, 2003 12:05 PMYes! It does make me crazy but I'm not at my desk enough to look at the walls. I'll work on it, though!

Posted by: Cassie on March 6, 2003 12:17 PMThat's a cute camera! My area is so much worse. Your blog looks much better in the proper resolution, but my monitor is too small for that right now.
I think I have one of those Mott's apple sauces somewhere in a drawer.
Posted by: ssg on March 6, 2003 01:02 PMum...i beg to differ my friend...having worked with and near you for several years. It IS normally that bad, if not much worse. At least it always was at JW.
You do need some color though and some ergonomics wouldn't hurt...
Posted by: susan on March 6, 2003 04:33 PMAh, yes, my little area at Wieland was a disaster. Susan was about the only one of our little crew that kept a tidy and attractive area.
Now, however, I have to keep my place pretty clean since I have customers who come in and out of it from time-to-time.
Posted by: mrw on March 6, 2003 11:45 PMClean blah blah blah. Clean is for freaks.
Posted by: Meredith on March 7, 2003 07:22 AMSo squalor and dishevelment are NORMAL?? Um, okay. Then I'm a freak to want to clean and orderly and proud of it!
Posted by: susan on March 7, 2003 08:35 AMi saw a magnet the other day that read... people who organize are just to lazy to look for things. or something like that. i found it funny.
Posted by: patricia on March 7, 2003 10:05 AMI spy a Coldplay CD...can't get the name of the book-if you could have seen my office at home before I finally, after 4 months, actually organized it-yours looks like a dream! All that matters is: don't spill the fruit cups on your keyboard...
Posted by: Holly on March 8, 2003 11:08 AMactually...
it was a Wilco CD and a Johnathan Franzen book. The fruit cups are a pain in the ass to open. Why are they so full and the cup so squishy? Practically impossible to open without making a mess.
