This is a recurring theme. My desk, no matter how clean it may be seems to attract things – phones, CDs, books, mail. The list could go on and on, but just when I think I have “IT” clean (or a little cleaner), something pops up (often again) on the desk.<\/p>\n
There’s no one to blame, it just seems to happen. While Karen was away at her speaker’s class, the desk was pretty much cleaned off – why I could see at least half the desktop. That in itself was no easy feat – after all, you have to find someplace to put the things you take off the desk. But then my hands started to bring things from other rooms in the house to or back to the desk. Now, there are two stacks of books (yes, I am working on the class I will be teaching). Then there is all that stuff from Linux World that still needs to be sorted through. BTW, Linux World is not were you will find Waldo. I managed to get in a couple days on the convention floor in San Francisco before we went to Mount Hermon.<\/p>\n
Just have to start one item at a time – where does it belong, and take it there. And just in case there are multiple items for the same destination, why not save myself all that walking and make one trip. It’s funny, how a simple thing like a desktop can irritate you. I used to like that little sign – “A clean desk is a sign of someone with nothing to do<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Would you believe, Yahoo and Google give you over two million references when you search for “a clean desk”. I know mine is not on the list! Oh well, time to take some of these things to the garage storage or the “blue bin”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a recurring theme.
