Reply to: Who's on your desk ?

[chubba]

Three monitors, all linked to the same PC - can't work and not have porn on one monitor now can we?

7 hard drives and Weibtech combo dock to connect them up when needed.

Pile of specs, bills and things to look at on a rainy day.

Laserjet printer, little dell machine running linux as host and OSX virtual machine. VM into this one so no monitor or keyboard attached.

5 empty cans of Bud.

One empty wine glass.

Box of tissues

why do many people here have 2 monitors. Is it a status symbol?
surely one is more than enough for me.

My desk is empty and polished. I stare at my reflection it all day

And spend the night wiping off the vomit

[Swamp Thing]

Couple of smeared bogies on the PC, some mouldy cheese stuck in the keyboard and a Sanitiser Wipe sachet (which I suppose I should use now).

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

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.

GET SETTLED IN NICE BECOME PART OF THE FUNITURE.
