    I read on the Internet (so it must be true), that people who have messy desks are more intelligent. Makes me a rocket scientist.



    Kindest thing anyone ever said about my desk (after I magically pulled a specific paper out of a large pile upon request)... "Ah, you are geographically organized".



    That's a nice haul for straitening a desk though!

    The direct quote is "A messy desk is the sign of a brilliant mind" Thank goodness there is some explanation of my desk with sundry monetary objects lying about all o'er the 1.5 metre wide expanse, even have a Katanga cross as a paper weight holding all the sundry papers about.

    It IS staged. What's worse, I think the Bu is upside down image

    Cathy, knowing your educational and professional background, I say you fit in the intelligent category.

    Nice!



    All I ever find while cleaning my desk is homework and exams I forgot to grade...

    I'm right there with you, Stork! image



    My desk usually looks like (is) a disaster zone. It is somewhat organized right now given it's only the second week back teaching, but give it two more and I'll be buried in clutter!

    My thought exactly although, if it did, the fabric would have terrible coffee stains.

    You are forgiven now that you have corrected your bu problem.

    Thanks! I try to take pictures that would make me stop and say "Wow, I want those coins!".



    Here's a re-work of the Bu with the piece the way it should have been image
