Heartland

I know many of you, like me, come to heartland partly becuase the alternative is to pay attention to some of the work they should be doing in their real lives. I was just wondering where each of the workers are posting from, be it naff cubicle, spacious open plan, Lawyers office (!) or whatever.

Just to kick it off, heres a picture of my home away from home, my desk.



Note exciting features such as the "wall 'o' books" (eventually I'll be oblivious to clients), the boxed japanese Gen 1 transformers (in case anyone doubted by geekery) and the "More" single at the far right.

Very orderly, Jim; I, on the other hand, am the worst slob imaginable. Y'all better hope I don't get my hands on a digital camera.

Just tidied! Normally can't find my mouse

Cheater!

Just what I was thinking! You can't have such an beautiful, tidy desk, and still pretend to convince us that you actually work there!



Just envious! I couldn't tidy mine up if I tried...

Anybody seen my pen?

I have a new office - to myself - hooray! - but it's pretty bare, so I'm busy buying plants and rugs etc at the moment. I'm a bit of a nesting bird with my work environment, like to make it look cosy. In touch with my feminine side, I guess. I have a drawer full of my CDs, mainly Sisters weeds at the moment! I have a pen holder, dunno why, a little light, pooter, an intray (I was also given this, a novelty at the moment), a picture of wifeykins. I'm working on a mousemat. It's still kind of bare by my standards.

Pen? I ain't seen my computer in weeks! (I found the keyboard and mouse, though, so I can post )

My desk at work is pathologically tidy (and before you ask, I do keep my CD's in alphabetical order according to release date).
This is partly because it'll be less to clear when they finally find me out and fire my useless and disinterested ass!

The desk I'm sitting at at the moment has a PC on it, a framed photograph of my wife and I dancing at our wedding, and the Fellowship of the Ring special edition DVD sandwiched between the bookends it came with and paperback copies of the three books.

I'm sad, I'm anally retentive, what can I say?

My desk (how come none of you lot have "workstations"?) is at home - as I have just become a student and am a full time carer for Mrs Goth (Chronic Illness - but shes FINE really!)

So my desk is a contant mess - now MINUS an ashtray!

can't describe the mess on my desk
(but no one has to worry - there's order on my CD-shelf )

My desk at work is quite neat but I can't describe my desk at home, so here is a photo: http://www.lak.co.za/galleries/photo.ph ... 2003-09-20

do i get extra credibility points for mine being made out of that black ash effect melamine wood chipboardy type stuff?

No. If you're going to kill a tree, at least display it in all it's glory.

Untidy at the moment and decorated with photo's of my Dad, my Mum and my brother, Marilyn Manson, Alan Rickman (with wings in "Dogma"), Marc Bolan and Peter Davison (the Doctor Who period).

My desk? Is messy, covered with papers, Have a toy 57 Chevy Belaire car, black with blue ghost flames, pics of a few men, some cd's. Grave Disorder...is the general theme of my desk. And underneath, a pile of my shoes, about 10 pair...

Wow, your brother is Marilyn Manson!

There's a comma in there smart boy


(and if only he was .... I'd be arrested )

Now there's an image. I bet he'd be up for it...

Like me....

My desk is, by rule of my employer, totally featureless.

I think it's so that they can erase us without anyone noticing.

They call it a clear desk policy- I call it spooky.

My work desk just got a scanner and 10 CD-RWs put on it. I don't know why though.

Ah good man.

Was wondering when someone would espouse the virtues of lean thinking, heartily recommend it. Latest project can be found in ten seconds, anyone can come to your desk and know where you're up to. That sort of thing?

Of course as the CI Manager and 5S/C champion my desk looks a shi theap, far too busy to become embroiled in trivia

Jim has put me to shame..therefore I cleaned my desk off. I've moved to Naples, and this is my new desk top..... Now, all I need is a cold glass of chardonnay and I'm set to watch the Italian men walk by!

You've become a waitress?
