It’s a common state, but once again, my desk is a mess. My laptop (and all of its acoutrements) is piled in front of my monitor. Stacked on top of that is the March/April 2004 “Library Technology Reports” which I have yet to finish in preparation for Calamari, my great Internet content filter application (yes, 2 years, and I’ve barely scratched the surface). To the left is a phone, stacked on several Java manuals, which seem to be blending in with old newspapers and various magazines. Just for kicks, the kids have mixed in a few of their books, some broken toys and a stuffed animal. Interspersed with all are random pieces of paer, credit card receipts and screwdrivers. The typical computer desk, right? It’s time to bring in a back-hoe and excavate this thing, if only to allow me to concentrate on more important things, like staying awake for the full day.
If I were sensible, I would take occasional breaks from work and clean this sty rather than blog. Hell, I’d even take breaks from the occasional breaks to sample port to clean this desk, were I sensible. But I am not, so I won’t. Viva la filth!
