My sister was telling me about some funny posts they've been doing about the weird shit people have on their desks at work. So I started thinking about peoples' desks and what their "stuff" means. What does my "stuff" mean?Mine's pretty straightforward, I think. In addition to my entire collection of race medals (13 to be exact), a piece of Tagg's original hand-painted artwork, my "pancake" inspirational picture (thanks, Natalie!), and my special pens (Uniball medium point in every color but black), I also have Rhodesian Ridgeback calendar, a plethora of family photos, some cool toys that I received as gifts from vendors including a couple of robots and a pink piggy bank, a piece of art that we made on nut-painting day a hundred years ago at Megahertz, and a bunch of thank-you cards that make me feel special. And 3 of those little gum tubs - bubblemint is by far the most popular, in case you're wondering.
I used to have an old-fashioned Rolodex because it kind of reminded me of my whole working history but I finally retired that sucker. So that's it. I wonder if someone walked by my desk, would they be able to get a sense of the real me from a quick glance? Do I care?
I LOVED working at your desk. You always had gum and your pens are THE BEST. I tried hard not to steal them, really...
ReplyDeleteI always loved YOUR desk! The green boxes, that great quote about advertising and all of your "n's"...so awesome! I always thought it was Jim who was stealing my pens.
