I had one of those mad moments this morning. I got up, and sat and stared at some stuff under the desk and thought, “I’m going to tidy this stuff up today”. After breakfast, I still felt like doing it, so embarked on a mission to move a load of stuff about. The end result was a slightly more organised chaos than I already had. My books are now (mostly) in one place, and some stuff that was buried under the desk in the corner is now up on shelves and accessible.
I also tidied my desk off a bit, as I was slowly losing things (like my keyboard) under piles of paper and the like. In doing so, I found various odd things
- A plethora of screws
- Various mountings for my CD/DVD racks
- Multiple keyrings
- Guitar picks
- More pens than I know what to do with, mostly freebies from Infosec
- A minidisc – I’ve not used my minidisc in YEARS
- A stack of CDs and other disks, most unlabelled
I also found enough fluff and crumbs to make me feel a little bit disgusted that it had gotten so bad. It’s odd though – if you aren’t really paying attention, you can accumulate all sorts of rubbish without really doing much. I could tidy as I go, but… eh, effort.
In unrelated news, I’m attempting to post this blog entry from within Word 2007. I saw it demoed at a Microsoft event I went to this week, so I thought I’d try it.
