[RESOLVED] What's on YOUR desktop?

[CobraTekMax]

We all groan when we go to do a job in the field, and see the computer buried under a mess of papers, beanie babies, candy wrappers, etc. But, are we any different? Do we practice what we preach?

We have cleaning ladies at work who keep my desk nice and tidy. But at home, my Duke Nukem action figure guards my always open case, while Solid & Liquid Snake fight to the death on top of my Cambridge Sub. And the new pride of my collection, Ash from the Evil Dead Series, sits on top of my monitor ready to hack some deadites up.

So, what kind of junk do all the other techs out there have on and around your machine(s)?

[corelogik]

from left to right,
cd rack stuffed full and over flowing (some disks on top of the thing),some floppies and some more cd's on the desk, floppy case or 2 (some extras strewn around the desk in a haphazard fashion. assorted case parts (ie; bay covers that are no longer in use) small pocket knife for opening envelopes and stubborn miouse bottoms. on the monitor i have a vietnam era replica of a huey gunship on one side and my stuffed Y2K bug on the other. my zip drive on the right side of the monitor stand, zip disks some in cases, some not. blank cd's on a spindle, joystick, air freshner, empty cd cases, stapler, hole puncher, calculator file folders a couple of bills, and assorted papers with notes of various things that seemed important at the time i wrote them. on far end of the desk is my bag with assorted screwdrivers and utility/software disks as well as the always present soldering gun, solder and a few of the most common sizes of cmos batteries.

lmao, its really not as messy as it sounds (i have a rather large desk that i built for the purpose!) but it would and has appeared to be so to some who have seen it. beside like MS, i have my own proprietary file system.

Okay, if we're gonna discuss what's UNDER the desk as well, I might as well mention my big jumble of power cords, speaker wires, and printer cables that I have lovingly nicknamed "fire hazard". Also, I forgot to mention my Jabba the Hutt beanie, and my half dozen or so ashtrays.

------------------
Clatu...Verata...nnnn...necktie...nectur...nickel. ...it's definately an "N" word...

[Snock]

Tools, candy wrappers, soda cans, PC Gamer and other assorted CD's, sticky notes, printouts, a pair of headphones, untold numbers of pens and pencils (though I can never find one when I need one), enough floppies to tile a floor with, and the carcasses of eight dead Western Digital hard drives. There's a computer in there somewhere too.

That's just what's on top of the desk. I won't even venture to guess what's under it.

[ledrichard]

cds,zips,broken cd cases, ashtrays, empty beer cans (various brands) subwoofer speaker system, 17'' monitor, cigarettes, screwdrivers, box'o screws, antistatic bags, and finally a stack of porn!
seriously!



------------------
hey its me again!

[BadCache]

Lets see.
19" monitor
keyboard
mouse and mouse pad.
speakers
wingman extreme 3d flight stick
stack of homeade Memorex coasters.

Thats it. My desk had a few drawers that I think are gateways to other dimensions if I could get past the mess.
My way of cleaning involves a lot of hiding!

Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake! Story at ten!

[drgonzoid]

well lets see, my collection of star trek figurines is attached to various cases, my 21" and the 17", a cradle for my lappy, stacks and stacks of absolute crap cover cd's, big lollie jar, electric bong, video cams and the sci fi section of my dvd collection, apparently there is also a desk in there somewhere

[RLD]

Under Desk:

2x 6 outlet power boards.
1x 4 outlet power board.
2cm layer of dust.
Several lurking extension leads.
2 years worth of paper (rubbish).
Heater.

I should really get a fire extinguisher next to my desk.

[myarema]

DESK????? You mean theres a desk under all this.

[gtiseb]

let's see, at home: Superman protects the computer. he's surronded by models of exotic sports cars . At work I got the phone a scanner and a whole bunch o' cd's lying around and a Super Sayin Son Goku glued to my monitor.

[klenard]

Well on my desk are 20 Dragonball Z action figures posed in a battle scene. my speakers, a couple of beer and soda cans and bottles, about a million floppies (strewn about the desk and room., about a thousand CD's, 17" monitor, speakers, a few hard drives, and an empty Chef-Boyardee Ravioli can.

You have to be smarter than what you are working with.

[skut]
