1. my cat ... is on my home office desk.

Actually, it's a large drafting table.

[redqueen]

2. Stack of business cards I should throw out

- Desk pad calendar with notes I don't read because there's always papers all over it
- Stacks of papers (invoices, payment notices, purchase orders)
- Spiral with my daily 'what people have told me to do so I can again not do what I have scheduled to do' list
- Sticky notes with various barely-legible notes scrawled on them
- Packing tape I used I don't know when that I still need to put away
- HUGE stack of filing to be done (contracts, invoices)
- Tiny ivy in a pewter vase
- Pics of my daughters (really old, but :))
- Kroger receipts I still need to submit as company expenses
- Various other office standard stuff...
- Can of Dr Pepper

3. A bottle of bourbon.

Oh, wait... no, that's just what I WISH were on my desk.

:cry:

[eyesroll]

4. Let's see -- in addition to the computer, phone, planner,

pens (yes, caps chewed) and other standard office stuff---

1. Old rolodex that has nothing current in it
2. Shoe box with hundreds of unfiled business cards
3. 25 or so magazines (10 issues of ours, the rest others)
4. A 5-CD custodial training package
5. My god, how did all of this paper get here?
6. 100,000,000 post-it notes stuck everywhere

My office is a sty.

[mrboba1]

7. Does anyone have a rolodex that has anything

useful in it anymore? I have a rolodex, but haven't touched it in 4 years...

[redqueen]

15. I do

Co-workers' extension list taped to the front, in a teeny tiny font
Account numbers
Info on hotels we use
Etc.

Mostly I use Outlook for contact info now

[eyesroll]

18. I use the "damn! where did I put that number?" method of

contact management...

I really could use a good database/address program. Maybe sometime I'm really bored I'll type everything into Excel. It's what I've got here.

[redqueen]

23. No Outlook?

Egads... I'd be lost!

Excel would work... how about a day timer thingy? I had one of thoes for the longest time, before I started actually using the contacts feature in outlook. The only drawback was the nearly paralyzing fear that set in every time I lost the damn thing.

[eyesroll]

25. No Outlook, and no equivalent for Mac.

I have all that on my home computer, but I don't want to clutter that up with any more work than I already have to.

[mrboba1]

26. Sure there is.

Entourage by MS - If you want to buy something from them...

And the new address book in OS X.3 is really cool too. Put together with iCal, its quite awesome.

[eyesroll]

28. No -- I meant my company didn't give me the Mac equivalent.

Sorry for the confusion.

We're still on OS9 until at least the end of the year; then, we'll have the address book and I'll maybe use it.

[mrboba1]

29. oh - gotcha.

:hi:

[Mizmoon]

5. A big ole bong

It was getting too depressing.

That is all from memory. I am taking my vacation today, listening to public radio and enjoying the half-of-an-inch per hour of rain we are getting.

[redqueen]

17. We had desks just like that in our old office

Donated them to charity, now just about everyone's in a cube.

That part that's supposed to connect to the return is a safetey hazard!

[ulysses]

The other part of the desk is in the attic. I may put it back on soon, though. I could use the desk room.

[dolo amber]

16. PC, headphones, metric ass-ton of cds...

various bits of kid funk, wrist brace thingy I'm supposed to wear for carpel tunnel but since I don't think I have it and it's a pain in the ass I can't be fucked wearing it so it just sits there and stares at me accusatorily...Scooby-Doo band-aids, calendar, papers that are probably really important that when the time comes for me to need them I'll have no idea where they are. :D
