[DGoddessChardonnay]

Do have a new mousie for the laptop and my coffee cup on the desk right now, along with:

cordless phone
laptop
lamp
long wicker basket that holds mail
bill organizer
tube of KrazyGlue on base of lamp (they stay clog free better if the tube is on a solid surface standing up.)

[Jay 2K Winger]

My whiteboard for various "witty" things and other artstuffs I decide to do has gone Turbo.

ETA: Good god, this might be the creepiest thing I've ever drawn. I might have to take it home so I can take a picture of it for posterity.

[Jay 2K Winger]

So I brought my white-board home so I could take a picture of it (can't take my cell phone into work; it's a secure facility) and the horrifying picture on it.



This is the creepiest thing I've ever drawn.

[protege]

Right now, there's a kitteh on my computer desk. I'm on my laptop in the living room...and the computer in my home office doesn't work now. So one of the kittehs is curled up, and taking a nap.

[*]Overly-cuddly Russian Blue[*]Front end of a very jealous Australian cattle dog

I wonder if it's a trait of Russian Blues...my furball seems to do the same.

Also, slight nitpick, but I do believe that Australian Cattle Dogs are also known as "Blue Heelers".

As far as my desk is concerned, I have the following on it:

-10 manila document wallets that are labelled with "English, Maths, Science, SOSE, Arts, Health/PE, Design/Tech, Special Needs, behavioural needs, TRT (relief teaching)" as I plan on using these to start my teaching library next year.

-a ton of uni cover sheets (that I have never used and will most likely never use)

-a binder that came as part of a set of 3 (binder, A4 book, A5 book) and I'm using for a differnt reason entirely.

-random CD-ROMs and DVDs.

-a fat quarter (of fabric) that is going to be turned into an altar cloth.

ETA: I just realized I left out the most important things on my desk! At the base of my monitor, there sits a clay bench, a clay rabbit, and a clay sock monkey, all made by my mother. These are very precious to me, as I know the time, care and talent she put into them. I remember her with a smile every time I look at them.
