    A tidy desk is a sign of a sick mind.

    I have a very very tidy desk.

    I leave my clients desks so clean that on more than one occasion people have thought that I've left for good.

    When challenged about my lack of desktop clutter I simply reply, "I'm a contractor, work is where the laptop is"

    I got the "do you know about the clear desk policy?" note left on my desk over the weekend. They put it beside the one they left for me last month.

    we have that where I am now,

    they have people walking around during the day removing laptops and such if they are not locked down

    happened to me last week, when I got back to my desk and found the laptop gone I put the info note on my boss's desk with a hand written scribble that as some fool has taken my pc I have left for the day


    and desks have to be clean no papers nothing

    idiots

    I only stay there for the $£

    Do you think they take all the stuff off their desks and clear their offices out every night? The only things left were desks, screens and chairs.

    Two possibilities:

    1) The fckrs are having a bonfire party with the bailout money;

    or
