For those of us too ashamed to show photographs of our working environment, how about just 'fessing up to what's lurking on your desk. Be brave, we won't judge you...to your face.
On my L-shaped desk I have:
MacBook
Widescreen HP monitor
Two phones: cell phone and landline
Two stacks of CDs (music, games, software)
A birthday card(from last October *gulp*)
Two watches
One pair of dangly silver earrings
One dress ring
One engagement ring in its box
Ancient love letters from the guy who gave me said engagement ring
More recent love letter from someone else
Hate mail (just kidding)
Shopping list
Two quarters
A photograph of my sister and me
3 tubes of lip gloss
A 2-inch tall glass owl from my parents.
A pen holder filled with about 20 pens. One of them works periodically;never the same pen twice. This is some universal law.
Tissues
A bottle of water
20 or so books
A bag of dog treats
Two dog toys
A dead hard drive
A USB drive
Post-Its and notecards. Lots of them.
Digital camera manual. Utterly useless when I need it.
One pair of ballet shoes in the box waiting for me to sew ribbons on.
Yes, I actually have room for a keyboard and mouse.
