I believe you have my stapler. ;)

Murrin, my desk is dusty too -- you just can't see it in the picture. ;)

I notice Murrin's actual work spaces aren't dusty, and THAT is an improvement on some of us! :biggrin:

Sarge, I think I would feel claustrophobic, or at least... feel stressed every time I looked around me in that room. :(

Yep, 6 equal compartments and one long shelf along the top. Built by hubby. Been up years now.

The handy little gadget to the left of the computer is the best thing I ever bought. Very cheap, and it holds whatever I'm typing, clip at the top to keep it up, and magnetic rulers as well if I need them. The slope is adjustable too.

I see you have a few books! Wish I had that much space. :D

Ought... not... covet...

Which is to say I love your organization and bookshelves, Vader!

If I didn't force myself to be organized I'd instantly drown in a pool of chaos. Having a wife that keeps kicking my lower backside when I don't keep my desk tidy also helps ...

Director Donner has commandeered my main monitor shelf for official UMCP business. Or something.

It's more of a contented yawn than 'rawr, look at my teeth'.

This one might have been a better choice, but I liked the yawn, which was not captured intentionally.
