I cannot often see the top of my desk
and today is no exception. But I need to get it cleared, because I need to simplify the shit in my life a lot. I keep talking about this but now I need to do something about it. I dod OK last year, btu this year I really need to make a concerted effort to just get rid of stuff. The rest of the place isn’t bad, but based oin my desk, I could be an episode of “Hoarders”

I often feel these days that if I had it to do over again, I might have joined the Carthusians, and not had to worry about possessions at all.
I have the same problem, Og. I need to get on that. Too many chattels sitting around cluttering up the place that I have no need for.
OT, Og, but it appears that madogre’s blog is having troubles; or else my system has decided that it doesn’t like that blog any more.
Seriously, do you know if he is having problems up there in Idaho?
EMD: I think it might be a ddos, but I wouldn’t attribute it to malice… yet.
Hey, if a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what’s an empty desk a sign of?
I’m a habitual messy desk person.
I can clean my desk, but I won’t let it stay uncluttered. My work (work work or hobby work at home) needs to be out and in sight or I don’t feel that I’m doing it I guess.
Tomcat: Exactly! My desk is covered in shit! I must be busy!
Thanks Og – I was a little worried.
These days my (computer)desk – actually an old wicker table – is usually covered by either a 16-pound black-cat(fixed male) with 3/4″ fangs or a 6-pound white-calico cat(fixed female).Needless to say everything is a lot easier working if it’s the calico…
I’m so glad that I’m not alone with my messy desk. (not really “messy”, more like “buried”. Unfortunately, it’s not just my desk, but any flat surface in my shop. It just gets worse and worse.
Please let me know if you find an answer.
Jdunmeyer: I expect the answer lies in NO FLAT SURFACES. I think making every desk shaped like a cone will be the only thing that prevents them from all getting covered.
I suppose then people will hang their hats on them.
Hmm, glad to see I’m not alone..
Shit, ya oughta see my loading bench.
Gotta sort that out one o’ these days.
