What's on your desk?

"Vanity Fair" Magazine has a regular feature, "My Desk," which highlights a personality's, well...desk. This month it is White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers. Her window looks toward the East Room. On her desk are fresh flowers, fine-point ink pens, a framed picture of her daughter, and a Secret Service pin she must wear when she's around the president.

My desk faces the slope of the ceiling, no window in sight. On my desk now are several bic pens, a book about Australia, a cup of cold coffee, my dime store magnifying glasses and a candy wrapper.

What's on your desk?

  Calculator, purse, tons of mail, paper receipts, batteries, 2 staplers, microphone, ink cartridges, mp3 player, sellotape, opened and unopened cd tutorials from about 3 years ago, several storage sticks, a socket thing for a phone line, lip salve, an old webcam, pens, pencils, labels, gift cards, scissors, sweetie wrappers, a crystal, one of those metal tape measures that pulls back in when you press a button, a magnifying glass, notebooks full of IM ideas, packs of photo paper and a phone card, a badge, headphones and a paper punch. And a screwdriver. A ruler, an emery board, an earpiece, a Tamagotchi (not mine), a mug, a glass, a gel thing for putting in your shoe, a bit of a remote control, needle, thread, cotton reel, brown packing tape.
  
  Good grief. I need help.

Monitor, keyboard, small plastic bowl containing paracetamol, chewing gum, nail file, broken microphone and half a bar of chocolate ('Kitchen Drawer Lite' ), a one pint coffee mug that's almost permanently on the go, a small bottle of water that's almost permanently ignored and a tiny basket containing two satsumas (wrinkled), one apple (wrinkled) and the other half of the bar of chocolate. I keep the snacky stuff on my desk to remind me to eat it, but it's usually just forgotten until it annoys me enough to throw it out three weeks later. Pet rock 'Hudson' watches with disgust from the top of a pile of notelets, together with a four inch high purple dragon that I got on holiday.

This is not the kind of desk that will ever make it into the pages of a glossy magazine

  This was a few days ago:
  
  It's worse, now.
  
  If I hadn't been operating like this for over 40 years I might be a bit embarrassed...
