      I tidied my desk at work the other day and when I came in yesterday I thought how did it get to be so messy again - especially as I had a week when I literally did not get into the office. I'm sure someone comes and messes it for me!

      My lucky number is 26!

    • Speedcat Hollydale 21.1.08
       

      7

    • Kim 21.1.08
       

      hi Anita
      ok ...looks like moi will have to make a list here...seeing I'm an obsessive listmaker ...soooo # 26 has been noted...
      I'm sure there are gremlins out there just waiting to mess up desks....because I'm sure yours would be a tidy one 99% of the time :)

      hey Speedy # 7 has been filed...:)
      ps ..that was my Dad's lucky number....he called it his lucky walking stick !!

      If your on Bloggers Choice Awards, I'm definitely going there to vote for you; and would ask others I know to do the same.

      Your "armless state" evoked images of Venus in me. That's going to be messy. Put it right back on! Cmon! LOL! --Durano, done!

    • Kim 21.1.08
       

      thank you very much Brad ...you are very kind...
      ah yes Venus....I can picture her !!
      I don't think she would be the same with arms...eh? LOL...

    • John M. Mora 21.1.08
       

      Great post, Kim - I relly liked the dichotomy of your desk - wireless router and turpentine.

      It is so refreshing that you write so much about others.

      Any treats handed out for unlucky number? You know, I never thought of it but I do not have an unlucky number.

    • Kim 21.1.08
       

      thanks John :)
      oh I wonder if that would be classified as unsafe....having turps next to electrical appliances....:0
      I think I had better tidy up in case I blow myself up !!!
      nice to know that you don't have any unlucky numbers...
      I'm a little wary of #13 :0

    • Deborah Paris 22.1.08
       

      how about 6?

    • Diane 22.1.08
       

      Thank you so much for featuring my books! You really are a star!

      The cartoon web site is great - I found my procrastination cartoon there the other day! He seems to hit the nail on the head every time :)

      Voted for you, my dear, of course!
      Diane@Much of a Muchness

    • Kim 22.1.08
       

      thanks Deborah ...
      #6 will be next weeks random pick :)

      hi Diane..
      it's a pleasure to feature your books....

      and you're so right about the cartoons.... T think he has one for every occasion....
      a bit like your books eh ?

      thanks for your vote too :)

    • One Wacky Mom 22.1.08
       

      Very cool. I like this one my friend. How I organize my desk...

    • Debbie Dolphin 22.1.08
       

      Hi H.M. Scribal Skipper!

      Out of the electronic jungle on your desk rose the Tower Of Technorati blinking and winking at you through the Portal Screen of their digital Black Hole. Except for the painting equipment, our desks look alike - the blogging barracks needed for posting our blogs!

      Hilarious Cartoon, too! Looks like another Computer Desk Organizer may be required to clean the desk in the Cartoon.

      Thanks to OpenID issues, my true virtual signature link is:

      The picture on how to arrange the desk really complicated.. hahahha

    • Kim 22.1.08
       

      it's good isn't it Ev...
      is yours a tidy one or a messy one ?


      I'm so glad your barracks look like mine and we can always blame technorati Debbie....
      I wonder if we could put technorati and their team in one of your disused lighthouses.....
      you now the one that is the most isolated....forgotten....and oh ...haunted could be good too:)


      it is Keeyit...
      you would need a very large desk to fit all of that stuff on it !!!

    • Kris Cahill 22.1.08
       

      I am relieved to see your desk, but it still doesn't mean I will ever show anyone a picture of mine. I know it's getting bad when it spills over onto the kitchen table. :)

      Congratulations on being nominated, I'll go and vote for you!

      May you have two arms again soon.

    • Kim 22.1.08
       

      ah the creeping overloaded desk syndrome Kris :)
      I think that is the same as creeping dust syndrome....the more you try to get rid of it the more it spreads...
      thanks for the bloggers choice support :)
      my results of the scan today were "frozen shoulder" so will be of to my GP tomorrow with the results...
      I'm just about to look it up on the net....

      I suffer from CODS too (creeping overload desk syndrome)
      Symptoms:
      . Disorganization
      . Feeling there is something you have forgotten to do.
      . Buying more pens than you need

      Severe symptoms:
      . Hearing ringing noises - am I mistaken or is there a telephone here somewhere?
      . Knowing there is something to do but not being able to remember what.
      . Sight problems - you can't find your glasses.

      Thanks for you kind words Kim and for the mention of the Bloggers Choice awards - my partner nominated me and he is biased - I wish he had not logged in with my account though, looks as if I nominated myself!

      I have an award for you which I am just about to post.

    • Kim 23.1.08
       

      LOL Sue...
      I suffer from all of those symptoms especially the telephone ringing....in fact...the intercom buzzer buzzed the other day and I ignored it thinking it was one of the many mobiles that live at our house....
      drat it was a parcel from the Nederlands and I had to wait until the following day for them to deliver it !!!
      your partner nominated you ....how cool...
      another award !!! thanks Sue....will pop over :)
