Sweet story.....When my grandmother died at the age of 95, my mother wasn't ready to open my grandmother's purse, so she gave it to me. I opened it. Please appreciate what I found. Her powder compact (that smelled wonderful, like she always did); two letters from the President of the United States. wishing her a 'Happy Birthday" --- I imagine she carried them with her proudly, showing all of her friends at the earliest opportunity a dime, a penney, and this address book. She loved cats.

On my desk at work, I have a computer that's not in use because it's not fully set up. I have a telephone and a typewriter. There's also a pencil cup, a stapler, a staple muncher, and a tape dispencer. Now and then I would leave magazines on the desk but most of the time I would bring them home. I try to keep as much personal things away from work as possible. When I'm at my workplace, there's usually a space on my desk that is dedicated for placing my messenger bag. I also have a few binders that belong to my colleagues.
What's on my desk? my computer, 5 stuffed animal monkeys, (17 more in the rest of my room: total= 22monkeys!) some highlighters and pens, Moisturel lotion (good stuff!), travel-size Scope, purple cell phone, broken blue clock, Arm and Hammer Summer Breeze deoderent, bottle of TIME nail polish, 3-hole punch, blue Handspring Visor Deluxe with docking port, 3 candles that look and smell like grape candy sticks, metronome, 2 Old Navy gift cards, beaded lobster necklace from Red Lobster, Decoupaged woodblock with flowers and Psalm 84:1-2 on it, picture of a llama, 3 framed pictures of friends, carved woodblock "SAI" (sigma alpha iota- women's music fraternity!!!) Christmas lights taped along the edges of my desk, unopened bottle of Olive Garden salad dressing (why is that on my desk? beats me!), old lift tickets to Heavenly, Tahoe Donner, and Northstar ski resorts, UNR course schedule, tin of Velamints, tools to make oboe reeds, a nickel, pocket sewing kit, German dictionary, 33, 34, and 1 cent stamps, checkbook, glass penguin from my boyfriend, nail polish remover, pistachios, Crystal angel that reflects rainbows all over my room, vase with bamboo, Veggietales calendar. I guess I need to clean my desk. Awesome site!

In my "little cubicle", I also have a white wall which I use to write information on with my colored markers. And on that wall, my niece, who I took to work on "Bring your children to work day", drew a peace sign. Underneath the peace sign she wrote (I believe addressed to me), "He is a peaceful man"

Such a question to ask, yet it draws the eye and mind to consider the wealth of "stuff" I rarely pay any attention to: * A new regular computer * A laptop computer (I've been too lazy to transfer all my business files into the new computer, so I'm multi-tasking between the two...) * A Coca-Cola "Beanie" Polar bear I got when I visited the Coca-Cola museum in Georgia * A mousepad with my company logo on it, even though I use a trackball. My boyfriend works for a graphics company and made it for me when we first started dating... I hadn't the heart to tell him I didn't use a regular mouse... * Coasters made from mousepad material with my company logo... 4 of them. Another gift from him that I've been using to balance out my laptop since I broke one of its legs off.... * "Squishy" rubber advertising toys from my dad's desk before he retired, along with all the "Gilbert" dolls I bought him over the years... * An empty business card Rolodex that I haven't wanted to use since I finally got my business cards organized in a binder * A 16 Zip disk tower with 15 unused disks, since they hold so much information and I use the same on over and over again... (One of my Office Depot spending sprees..... Or was it Costco?) * Lubiderm lotion that is so old, it should be in a glass bottle. * Wind up teeth, alligator, bunny rabbit, chick and penis toys... * Catalogs from Craft supply houses and all the invoices from my Crafter's Choice Book of the Month Club. * Rocks hand-painted by my girlfriends' children, which are always looked for when they visit my office, to make sure I still love them * Vitamins, vitamins, vitamins and a huge Costco bottle of Tylenol * My standard "piling system" of contracts and drawings... No-one else may know where anything is, but I do... * Stack filing baskets full of paperwork. No, none of it is in the right baskets, but at least they're in a place where they won't get "lost". * Antique binder clips * Regular multi-colored diskettes without lables.... I have to insert each one of them to find the file I'm looking for.... The multi-coloring was suppose to help determine which department the files were from.... NOT! * Three staplers... I only see one of them right now, but I know there's three. Two must be under the "piling system" somewhere... * A tupperware pepper shaker. It's strange because I don't use pepper unless I'm cooking and I can't remember the last time I saw the salt... * Did I mention vitamins? * A cork with "Hawaii" written in red ink, from a bottle of Asti Spumanti my team and I drank with bagels at 9:30 in the morning after winning a major Hawaiian contract.... Being hung-over by noon is not condusive to industrious working conditions... * 3x3" Post-It notepads in every color available.... I have a thing for Post-Its... * Outdated electronic component manufacturer buyer's guides. I'm too busy to transfer my notations from one year's book to the next, so I've got a really nice antiquated collection going.... * Duplicate message pads.... That's a hard one. I don't answer the phones or take messages.... * TV Antenna for my television. When it's cloudy, I put it on the corner of my desk for better reception when watching All My Children, One Life to Live, General Hospital, People's Court, Divorce Court, News......... It's been cloudy a lot lately.... * Humongous cappucino cup from Starbucks that I used to use to feed Skittles, Starbursts, etc. to the masses. It's now primarily used to collect semiconductors and other electronic parts that don't work anymore. I'm not sure why they give them to me... Kind of like a cat that brings you a mouse.... "Thanks for feeding me, here's my contribution...." * A bowl with a collection of badges from conventions... Kind of like a matchbook collection from restaraunts you've visited, but bigger. Had enough yet? Now, if you want to ask me what's in my office closet at home, THAT would be inventory worth listing!

A picture of yesterday A glass full of the future A spoon full of hope And some dust of inspiration A four sided obstacle Leading to somewhere I've never been Hiding messages of which I've yet to receive And a cup full of anticipation Life is like a desk top Cluttered with all sorts of memories Waiting for the time when we sort though it And finding a path that suits our needs. I hope you like what I've written for you, and it is the only copy so it is yours. Life can be described in many ways, and interaction into that life follows many paths. Continue to explore the paths that life presents to you and one day you may discover the meaning of existance. Drop me a line sometime

I think I am fortunate in that a friends Dad made my computer desk for me to order, so most of my cluttter is 'in' the desk rather than on top of it. But on top is the usual stuff, such as computer & monitor, keyboard, speakers, printer and modem. I also have a special 'pencil cup', my looney tunes mousepad and a mouse, a ruler, a couple of disks, (that usually go in a drawer when I am done working), and a few small ornaments that actually sit on the desktop case of the computer. I also have a favourite teddy bear sticker on the front of the puter's desktop case. Hmmmm, does dust count? I seem to have rather a lot of that!

Hi Wendy, I found your site by chance searching for something unrelated - and it's fascinating! On my desk (I am at home): Computer gear of course - scanner, network hub with six cables and four flashing lights, adsl modem, monitor, printer, keyboard and mouse ... cradle for my Palm3, volume control for my speakers, a microphone, a little beige box that has my Capslock and Numlock lights on it (mouse and keyboard are cordless, this is the receiver) ... a chipped stoneware coffee mug sitting on a pair of throwaway ISP cds as coasters (our New Zealand equiv. to AOL cds in the US I guess :) ) ... a business card from an old friend who I ran into at the supermarket the other day, and one of my business cards but with another friend's number scrawled on it... a greenstone pendant ... my watch, wallet and a very strangely-shaped piece of plastic (it's from a new collared shirt that first came out of its packet last night and oddly enough may have been in its packet for years... it smelt kinda funny and I literally had to use longnosed pliers to take the little needles out) - this piece of plastic is a curve with teeth on it and I think it was used to hold the collar of the shirt nicely in place whilst in the packet. ... my car and house keys, the clip that attaches my cellphone to my belt, my palm3, an invitation to friend's 21st birthday party which happened 2 nights ago (and incidentally was amazing fun :) )... an invitation to the opening of a performance art/installations exhibit of a friend/roommate who is a fine arts student (Coming up this week, very exciting!) ... my ticket stub from the Phantom Menace which I have been meaning to paste into a scrapbook .... two speakers (unintrusive little black cubes mind you).... another of the throwaway cds I mentioned, and two that aren't throwaway - Moby's -Play- and a CD of remixes of NIN -The Perfect Drug- (this was a birthday present, my birthday was last month) - on top of the hub sits a friend's phone number written on a piece of notepaper, and a supermarket receipt. On top of the adsl modem sit three cds (all on loan to me), and a female glass head which wears a Darth Maul mask ( :) ) and also wears my headphones and sunglasses when I'm not using them. Two small taoist monk statuettes (painted bone I think) and a tiny porcelain pig. And a bag of small nails (I just finished hanging a picture that an old and dear friend made me, a collage of stills from the Empire Strikes Back :) ). Great site Wendy, keep it up :)
The desk page was getting really big, so I moved the old stuff to an old desk archive.
