What's on your desk... this comes from a friend as she reckons your work/ home desk says a lot about you...?

Question

bizarrely I have a mouse puppet (primary teacher), chill out CDs, loads of marking, a half drunk glass of wine (its Friday evening!) general clutter from the week, a dried up orange and a tape measure (left mid DIY) and language books - does this describe my life? scary. (yes know I'm asking two questions - second one really rhetorical!)

Answer 1

2 phones, a Polly Pockets dress, a purple Maraca, and My Ipod. Yep, that pretty much describes my life (a father of three girls).

Answer 2

I work from home, so:

Computer and peripherals, phone, mobile phone, lazy-susan type organizer with pens, pencils, scissors, stapler, coffee cup, water glass, message pad, spiral notebook, 3 hole punch, stack of receipts, overloaded file organizer, R2-D2 toy that I stole from my nephew's Happy Meal that squirts water, jade plant, stereo remote, desk calender still on April since I use Outlook, tape dispenser, postit notes, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford Writer's Thesaurus, Chicago Manual of Style, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, yesterday's LA Times, and my car bill.

Oh, I forgot, and the manuscript I ought to be revising at the moment.

Answer 3

from left to right;
ruler, envelop, calculator on top of note pad, speaker, notebook , monitor, stapler, two pens, speaker, calendar and a day planner.
Sounds all neat and organized doesn't it? If you look at the stand attached to the desk, it is a mess of papers, bills, pens and junk. It drives me nuts because it isn't all mine (but a lot of it is).
If you really want to know about a person's life, don't look at the top of the desk, look in the drawers. The desk is what we show the world, but our true lives are in the drawer.

Answer 4

i have a coffee mug and water bottle, both with the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness, I have a telephone, cell phone, computer, printer, calculator with clicker tape, I have a bank bag, chapstick, satin hands hand cream by marykay, cough drops, calender, change bascket for pop machine, check book, sticky notes with reminders, a marble for when i need something to take my mind off stress, picture frame with pics of my nieces and nephew, and one with my sister (who is also my best friend) who recently moved permanently halfway around the world,

and now that I mentioned it, I'll be taking some change from the basket and going to get myself a Dr. Pepper! ... Ok so I lied, I got a coke...
