How exciting!

Today I have all the usual guff on my desk including a load of contracts that I'm meant to be doing things with. However, last Friday there was a load of BOUZE and CHEESY BISCUITS on it as I was functioning as lackadaisical barmaid for pre-pub leaving drinks for a colleague. Jeez, I have 'colleagues' now, how grown-up am I? There's still half a carton of orange juice lurking behind some folders, which presents a rather too virtuous appearance for my taste.

I do have a Cat and Girl cartoon on my PC desktop, though, which surely is my attempt at being in that there loop.

I had two days off with a cold, so now my desk is buried in thousands of bits of paper belonging to my officemate. Grr. He has been known to put greasy sandwiches on top of my timesheet, at least I've been spared that this week. Also there's a half-empty drinks can, which is my caffeine source of the afternoon, and two empty bottles; the bottles have been there for weeks, I should throw them out but I keep meaning to take them home so they can be recycled and forgetting.

office desk @ home however is chaos with CDs, various papers and piles that keep growing

I even went back through the online office calendar file and deleted every mention of every vacation and appointment I ever had. There will be no trace of me remaining in that place by tomorrow afternoon. None.

So long, stink town!! Greener pastures, bitches! My coworkers even gave me a money clip as a going-away present. BUYAO.

Ans: Everything. In the world. You are all on my desk.

My desk is supported by turtles. Turtles all the way down.

You guys my job makes my life suck.

and people wonder why we're all gaga over apocalyptic idealism

ther eis no space ikeep hitting my f***ing knee on the computer tower under my desk bc there is no place else to put it :( :(

(i know job could be 5000x worse, i know)
xpost

As long as there is still rolling street fashion after the apocalypse. And high heels.

Yesterday my boss called me out on my attitude and I basically said that I'd be nicer if she would. I got tired of eating the crow that other people were leaving on my desk. So gamy.

I use I think 10 of the buttons on this phone besides the numbers.

libcrypt, how do you get stuff to hang on your cube wall like that? Mine are some sort of impenetrable material covered by industrial gray cloth.

Jenny, these guys:

They go into the cube wall at maybe a 10 degree off vertical angle.

Cool, thanks!

They are called t-pins if you get the urge to make yr cube less than blah.

Heh. I was going to ask you what they were called, and I thought, "First, I will see what happens if I Google 't-pins'," since that seemed like a logical first step.

I'm going to have the raddest cube around.

Workplace desk as of yesterday. I like to travel light...

jesus ET & SM i'm very jealous of your clean and minimalist desks. mine looks like a bombsite in a stationery factory

Unemployed at the moment, but my home desk looks like the combined contents of a Ryman's, a Maplin's, and the dumpster of a pound shop

The demo desk they're showing co-workers today:

My desk, or what it would look like five years later.

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/12-1.jpg

roomy!

dizgusting

Do you have tom and the sports guy as your wallpaper???

Finally got some gumption and did this yesterday. Compare to the crime scene above.

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/12-10.jpg

heh i should make that my desktop.

Nicely done, pp! I love a clean desk. My job is about 96% computers so my only weakness is post its and food containers.

If anyone was in the market for a Sun Belt media guide from the last decade, you're going to have to talk to my co-worker Todd now.

Many, many piles of paper

Computer
Monitor
Phone
Fan
Wall Street Journal
Coaster
Cup of Water
Ludicrous amounts of Post it Notes
piles of paper
Pentagram with mini-birthday candles at the points
Stapler

that's wild, I've also got a coaster on my desk.

So here's a deal: At long last, my office is being expanded into another part of the building and my "team" get to be the ones to claim the new area.

Even better, I've talked my way into having a corner seat facing the window. Pretty cool view of the Main Street Bridge, Statehouse Convention Center, stupid trollies, etc.

But there's this wrinkle. Not that my new space is ruined or anything, but they're keeping a door in front of mine and my co-worker's desks.

Here's a rough sketch:

http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/pplains/Pp-Office_zps3801230a.gif

The windows are blue. The door is yellow. The magenta stripe illustrates the path to the door from the rest of the office. My desk is marked by green.

Pay attention to the measurements: seriously, there's only like 18-24 inches, 50- 75 cm, of space between the back of our desks and the door.

It's not going to be our front door or anything, but I don't think it's going to be an exit only fire egress either.

Does this seem strange to any of you? Legal? Have you ever seen this set-up before?

I think the door swings the other way, but still.

Folks, COVID-19 is causing much death, illness and distress across the world. It's a suffering that is going to affect each and every one of us.

And I am absolutely here in the office for it.

I work in a 2nd line IT support team, so my desk is covered in IT crap. A selection of the current mess:

• over a dozen broken smartphones
• my company issue smartphone (working but old)
• (in a laptop stand) my old company issue Win 10 laptop...
• ...connected to a 24" widescreen monitor
• my new company issue Win 10 laptop
• mouse
• same keyboard I've had for four years, somewhat of a record around here
• VoIP phone
• wireless headset connected to phone and laptop
• coffee mug from DevSecOps conference
• badge with flashing LEDs from a different DevSecOps conference
• my actual coffee mug
• laptop with corrupted SSD that I'm fixing for someone
• (usually) my personal mobile on charge
• (under the desk) my rucksack
• my walking boots, or my work boots if I've only just got in or am about to leave for the day
• also under the desk, a wheeled drawer cabinet containing who-knows-what random IT garbage

now that I'm WFH my "desk" is my living room table. On the desk: laptop, Verso book I'm using as a mousepad, and a notepad. Laptop's hooked up to my TV as a second monitor.
