Lion EA Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Oh that was just a shot of a bookcase. It's out of my reach, so isn't overflowing, yet; well almost. And, the file cabinet just holds my Jolly Ranchers and pens for clients as they arrive &/or leave. I think I've posted my mess before. I'll add a pic here again soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 This is taken from my chair so you see the stacks on my desk before you see that bookcase! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Still, looks fairly neat to me, all papers, folders, and cups geometrically correct. Where's the magnifying glass, or do you not need one? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I should take a picture of my desk for comparison. At least I think there's a desk under all the crap. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion's desk looks better messy than mine does when it is cleaned off. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 The desk at my home office looks like one of those post-tornado pictures from the midwest. AT the office, though, I have my dragons, my tax interview sheet folders, a pen, and a penknife that needs to be cleaned after using it yesterday to slice cheese for a snack. All the mess is in the drawers, since MA made it illegal to leave *anything* out at *any* time unless it is actively being worked on. But the drawers have cross-leaved stacks and I have to be very careful closing one of them since it's all up so high.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneInAlabama Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what is the sign of an empty desk? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 My point - my husband is a neat desk freak and I am 180 degrees opposite. I have to have everything in reach and I do know what is in each pile. I've tried neatness and it just doesn't work for me. So glad to know I am not alone out here! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 When my wife is in her cleaning mode, she is not allowed to clean anything in my office that is more than 12 inches off the floor. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Years ago, I hired a girl to work in my office and had to be out of town for a couple of days. When I got back to my office, my desk was neat as a pin and the girl was sitting at her desk with a big smile on her face. I almost had a heart attack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hmmm, maybe had you hired a woman, things just might maybe have been different. The girl was surely aiming to please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I just turned 70 Sunday and, frankly, prefer to be considered a woman. Kind of a respect thing to me... Meanwhile, good for you for continuing to practice your profession. That is inspiration. I am training for a marathon now, ran 18 miles last Saturday with 20 this coming Saturday. I do hope to inspire women and girls alike. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I do have to keep the stacks separate, not let papers from one client slip into another stack. And, you should see the stacks on my floor with the cross-leaved clients when I have to get everything out of site for a client's arrival. My 2015 TTB and JK Lasser are on top of the printer that doesn't work, because I haven't cleaned out my bookshelves to make room for the current year. I have reading glasses all over with at least two pairs on my desk and another in my briefcase and maybe one on a bookcase. And, that picture showed just the client end of my L-shaped desk that was once a computer hutch, but I needed the space and took the hutch off so I could spread out more. And, the file cabinet that I just cleaned off since a client's coming now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely meant it as a compliment. 18 miles? Wow! I have never been able to run any distance at all. Even when I was in the marines, I was not able to run. I never fell out on a hike but when the command was given to "double time", I would gradually fall back toward the end, but when they resumed the regular pace, I would catch up.

joanmcq Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I have two rooms I use as offices. One to meet clients in, and one to work in. One desk is clean and the other is under the pile somewhere. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
