Who's on your desk ?

[V M4N]

Two cube world men (handy & dusty), Coffee mate original, no coffee, about 15 used plastic cups, a mug with a nice permanent coffee lining, s sign which says " IN A MEETING, the practical alternative to work" soon to change to " This is not an office! its hell with flourescant lighting!", a Performance BMW calendar, donuts from yesterday, dozens of unopened 'computer weekly' and loads of other mess which is supposed to make it look as though they i am actually doing something....

I heard a really interesting commentary on the ws last night about why people might be arsed to put pictures of their kids etc around their desk. The woman's argument was basically it was a kind of trophy (look what I can produce), a way of keeping them close (when work is rubbish and you feel bad), or to say there is another side of you (massive portrait-style photos on the wall of MDs).

She concluded with saying we would not put pictures of our colleagues up at home, would we ? Which I think is a really good point. I don't and never would put pictures up of anyone I loved on my desk, although I have worked with men who's wives/girlfriends etc have supplied pictures for them to install....

(the only things on my desk at the moment are some raisins, clementines, eucalyptus pastilles and roobios chai tea bags)

This is the life of a PERMIE.

My desk is also empty but I have put some useless documentation printed and spread them around so that I look busy.
