bottle of water – i always bring one with me. but i am starting to feel guilty because its plastic – and i’m hearing rumors that plastic will kill me.
iPod nano – because i’m really a musician that’s stuck in a librarian’s body and can’t get out.
Diet Lime Coke – i hardly EVER drink sodas, so don’t get the wrong idea. really. but, lime…
ahhhhh…………..
i like lime juice in my chili.
i like lime juice in my salsa.
i like lime juice in my Chicken Divan (YES!).
i like lime flavored tortilla chips.
i like lime flavored candy.
i like lime sherbet.
i like lime in my coke.
what’s on your desk, and what does it say about you????
Whats on my desk:
Diet Sunkist, for later. (coffee for now!)
A cute orange cell phone holder, 2 bottles of water, headphones so I don’t have to hear everyone elses conversations, a 20Q game, pictures of my husband, daughter and dogs…everything else…just clutter!
What it says about me:
Guess I like toys, but not too many, I’m thirsty, I love my music more than my co-workers, and my family is what keeps me working!
Opps! Almost forgot…Purell…cuz iz likes clean hands!
Lori: so, can we borrow that 20Q game for the next WW?
Sure! Um…or…we could just hang out and play it sometime sitting in Starbucks or Panara…(you know, we’re about an hour or so away from each other)
NO WAY! WHERE are you??
actually… don’t leave that in a comment. you know, because of the blog stalkers and all. that would not be safe. but, wow. email me?
So on my desk…there are papers and rumors of papers…pencils and notes that I leave for myself. Water bottles and other misc. crap everywhere. So then, because of the pile -o- crap I move to Daniels desk where he is neat and tidy…he hates that I do that, because then he has to clean up after me…but I get stuff done, so he doesn’t complain….okay, sometimes he complains but whatever. Weren’t you going to come here to help me clean sometime? Seriously.
Kristi: HA! i think i DID offer to come help you clean! until then, you’ll have to settle for notes from me in the mail. at least that way you won’t have to write notes to yourself. poor baby…
Pile of paper, books, pictures and up until yesterday afternoon a vase of dead flowers given to me over Spring Break when i was sick. Wha?!?! I know – I was wondering what that smell was!
ahhhhh I have no desk. However, my kitchen counter could count for this, since I spend most of my time in the kitchen taking orders and phone calls and checking my e’s and doing the checkbook. I’m tired already.
On my “desk” is my computer and phone (lifelines!), checkbook (and it really is a large book), calculator (b/c I’m not that smart), plastic cup with water and a collection of pacifiers out of reach from the kids who are too old for them.
I have no idea what that all says about me. Booooooring probably.
Tam: dead flowers = ever read Great Expectations? SCARY!!!
Brandy: says that you obviously have a pacifier fetish!
NOT ME!!!
My kids!!
my desk is always a mess. filled with stacks and stacks of STUFF i’m working on (or supposed to be working on!). and usually there’s always a cup of tea and a bottle of water there as well. (a girl needs to stay hydrated.)
and what does your desk say about you, alece? procrastinator? sweat too much? hmmmm…….
we are in the process of moving facilities so i don’t even know where my desk is. i’m pretty sure it’s scared though… i miss my desk.
I donb’t have a work desk…but my home desk is very clean. Mostly because since I got my laptop I never sit there. I guess my desk would be my lap. Right now the only thing on my lap is my computer and my little girls foot. We are snuggling on the couch. What that says about me??? I don’t know, you are the master story teller….make it up!
On my desk:
my ipod, of course.
my silly printer that tells me everytime I print that I’ve run out of ink (and I’ve written quite a few papers this semester). Someday it’ll run out in the middle of a paper…Just watch.
A bajillion post-it note pads in case I need to write a quick note, then I stick them on my shelf above the desk. It’s quite a sight, I must say.
My beautiful Altec Lansing speakers which I bought for fifty dollars a few years ago with a sub woofer. They provide optimum sound for my music, especially Thomas Newman’s instrumental beauty.
Random papers like directions to the baseball game today and random receipts.
So I’m not sure what that says about me. My desk is too small for me to be unorganized and messy, otherwise even more papers would be sitting atop this thing.
Feel free to interpret what it might say about me!
Teri: my interpretation (i feel like a blogging “palm reader” or something)… well, if your daughter is anything like me, then it says that you need to turn up the heat in your house or buy her warmer socks! i usually stick my feet under someone when i’m cold. how’s that for interpretation?!
Becca: says that i’m jealous that you even have speakers. i don’t. i have a HUGE professional headset. and i have an extension cable where i can plug my lappy into surround sound in the living room, but that is SUCH a hassle to move everything. oh well…. my interpretation = i’m jealous!
Mandy:
Do you like instrumental music (such as the likings of Thomas Newman who did the score for movies like Finding Nemo, Fried Green Tomatoes, Corinna, Corrina, American Beauty, How to Make an American Quilt…)
Thanks for the interpretation. Haha. I splurged and bought them after months of investigation of the best sound for not a million dollars. The base is incredible- I’ve been impressed. Now their stuff is really expensive.
I despise my desk. It is like a ball and chain.
I’m looking to get a drawing table to work from (I do graphic design/artwork for my church)…
It’s tough being creative on a regular old office desk.
I might have to look into some cool ikea stuff.
Um, an adding machine, lamp, digital camera, papers, MacBook, more papers and a DVD of Over The Hedge. There is no method to my madness
Cindy: adding machine = old… MacBook = young… Over The Hedge = infantile…. i think you might be generationally confused!
Russ: i’m not allowed in Ikea!
Becca: American Quilt and Fried Green Tomatoes are on my list of favorite movies, does that count!?!?
me too! Well at least Fried Green Tomatoes.
That Thomas Newman. He knows how to evoke emotion.
I think Alece and I must be related – or maybe it’s a South of the Equator thing??
Ohhh – mine’s minus the water bottle – i just go to the tap when needed (i.e. once the Tea’s drunk!)
Mandy – IKEA?? they caught you arranging all the items in Alphabetical Order again, huh?
<B
Well..
My occupation is a little different. I go to accident scenes and body shops and look at damaged cars all day. (except for today,… on vacation) My desk is in my 06 Hyundai. I have a full office. In the back seat, cameras, printers, bright yellow vest, plastic gloves (for blood.. YES for blood) measuring sticks. On the floor is the 11th grade geometry book that my daughter forgot, 2 bibles, and numerous jackets. The front floor, misc paper, reese pB wrappers, hot tamales, water bottles. and then on the ft seat beside me, my camera and laptop and all color of pens. But you can’t forget in the cupholder, dietcoke and water.
I guess I should clean it out before I go to work huh?
What’s on my desk…?
Computer, printer, modem, remote control, and some Post-It notes.
Pretty exciting, huh?
Oh. Yeah. And apple juice.
right now at this very second, my desk is my kitchen table. on it is…
camera
checkbook
cereal bowl
coffee mug
Cd’s
Laundry basket
dish rag
Looks like it says i need to clean up
My desk SCREAMS that I have small children:
*baby nail clippers
*”drawings” all over the desk and papers on the desk
*Baby Bibles
*WIC checks
*a half full mug of once hot tea that I have been meaning to get to all day
*”Goodnight Moon”
*A bunch of “no, nos” that I have placed way up high (My Bible, the stapler, sharpies…)
I also keep an unlit candle just to feel like a grown up, and so that every once in awhile when the kiddos are in bed, I can have peace by candlelight.
Steph- goodnight moon.
I love that book.
It’s right there beside the bible as being my favorite!!
today I’m not at work. i’m at home. and my laptop is on the bar in my kitchen, along with the remains of a McDonalds Happy Meal that was eaten by a small person. That’s right, McDonalds. We’re celebrating that it’s Friday. Also on the bar: my phone, remainder of my Panera coffee, and a construction paper creation made by my husband.
BUT. More importantly. I just purchases a lime scented candle last week. And it’s divine.
I believe I meant ‘purchased’. Or ‘I haz candles’.
I don’t really have a desk…we have one in our office/library but it’s not setup yet from the move since we don’t ever use our desktop computer. So…what’s that say? I’m too busy to set up my desk
what does it say about me? i find it interesting because my messy office must imply to people that i’m disorganized and disheveled. and yet i feel that’s the only area of my life that’s like that.
maybe i’m only fooling myself.
i probably should confess that the pic is of my work desk… my REAL desk at home is COVERED in stuff:
MBox
Microphone
Drumsticks
4 Unopened CDs
3 pages of notes for music
3 Guitar Picks
11 Pens
4 Cables to record
and about a half dozen other USB cables
Mandy do you also have on your desk 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree?
HA HA!!!!!! i WISH – cause i’m hungry!
eww, you eat birds? or hungry for pears?
