Being a particularly messy person, I was recently told you could tell a lot about a person from the contents of their desk. Here's mine, what does it say?

It says your mind isn't constrained by the straitjacket of tidiness

I'm glad you're on my side! Anyone else want to subject their tables to ridicule?

Mine tells me I am engrossed in research as to the relative merits of chorley cakes vs eccles cakes, meanwhile the work laptop in the background is blubbing at how it is being ignored despite deadlines looming and me being out on a night ride tonight.
Think Francis Drake did the same, only with bowls.

@Ian
I'm currently hunting for the locking wheel nut key for my car, not seen it for 3 years 
composite - that engine goes in a composite boat hull I made that's no bigger than the yacht in the background
Engineering pass (quickly) And eccles cakes must be the winners, with a little marg on top.

mmw - that IS tidy isnt it?
Posted 2 years ago # -
it is tidier than it was, purely because the vast mountain of receipts are now filed in the box on the right
out of shot is a rather full bin bag as well

Work desk says, I'm busy with too much paperwork, disorganised and that I like ladybirds and bikes.
Home table says I'm a scruffy get who doesn't like washing up or paperwork but likes bikes.

MMW - doesn't the mother-in-law live under the desk and the grill then get fitted to the front?

bridleway signs, were fake ones made up by my boss as a prank who decided to put a bridleway past my desk as a joke one day. kept the signs as they were quite good mock ups.
Think it was his way of objecting to me keeping my bike in the office, went over my head anyway
Floats, bought to go fishing with my little one next week, crucian carp bashing at a local pool.

Yesterday morning I tidied my desk, today it is covered with lots of papers, post it notes with ramblings on them, 4 cups of half drunk coffee or juice and then there is the gold (99.99.996% purity) 25m of the stuff along with some lasers.

Full marks to JoJo for use of "slattern". Like it.
My desk is a mess, but I am not sure it really opens a window on the full darkness of my wizened little soul.

My desk at work is always a complete mess of papers, but I know where everything is and I never lose anything.
My bosses on the other hand, is always immaculate with not a piece of paper in sight. She files/throws everything away and can never find it again!!Posted 2 years ago # -
For me this is tidy

My desk is currntly JD Wetherspoon in Edinburgh airport. Hotdesking sometimes has advantages

Jamie, are you allowed on the internets without parental supervision?, just asking like...
Clean and tidy are very different though aren't they? My desk is both untidy and unclean. I'm currently cultivating a nice collection of oatcake crumbs amongst the keys on my computer. My colleague however, who suffers from dry skin, well he's trying to create a whole other person, judging by the amount of scurf on his mouse matt and wrist support.
I'm also about to run out of clean mugs... what tools for peeling off coffee mould?

Mine at work, at home is alot tidier.

Clearly the tongue is the only tool in this situation.
