What do you have on your computer desk RIGHT NOW????

[42_42_42]

I don't have a computer desk. I generally use my laptop whilst sitting on the couch. So the closest thing to a "desk" is the end-table next to the couch. That currently has a lamp, coasters, my beverage (a glass of iced tea sweetened with stevia), and my empty plate from dinner on it.

[Kittish]

Currently on my computer desk:

Keyboard
Trackball Mouse on the left
Monitor sitting on top of a book (to raise it to a more comfortable viewing height for me)
WoW authenticator attached to the base of the monitor with a silver box chain (so the cats don't steal it, or don't get far with it if they do try to steal it)
Tube of Carmex
Extra bolts and wingnuts from a pet carrier (can't believe the cats haven't knocked those off by now)
Assorted scraps of paper and paperclips under the keyboard

Usually on my desk but not currently present:

Coffee cup
Water bottle
One or two cats (depending on what, if any, food I have at the time)
Bowl of softened cat food (though this one is probably going away soon, as the little kittle is happily on dry food now)
Scrap of cloth that serves as a cat toy (carried off by a kittle... I wonder where she put it this time?)
Cat brush (see above)

[Seshat]

Hooo boy.

Two different task lights.
Penicillin. Plush form, the only type I'm allowed.
Many, many medications. The take-as-needed ones are stuck in a box, except for the mylanta (a liquid med).
The others are in an organiser provided by my pharmacist, laid out in day and time. (If I ever need to go to a hospital, I can just grab that.)

Two small organisers, containing
- sewing gear for hand-sewing
- pet toothpaste
- nail grooming equipment
- spare hair ties
- scrap paper
- dental floss
- an eyepatch for when my bad eye hurts
- lip balm
- probably other stuff.

Two more organisers, these ones little buckets, containing things best stored vertically
- pens and pencils
- a letter opener made of ebony, carved with a woman's head. Very pretty.
- scissors
- a crochet hook
- pet hairbrushes
- a tin whistle.

One organiser that contains just my headphones, with their extension cord. Oh, and sometimes it has old Palm Pilot stylii, which I use as hair sticks.

My mobile phone, charging.

Glasses case for my reading/computing glasses. Glasses case containing my other glasses.

Pencil case with my drawing pencils (and a sketchbook in reach of me off to my right).

Spill-resistant cup of cola.

A hackysack I use as a stress ball.

Some of the highlights include a bag of Blood energy potion, a collection of about 30 3d Christmas cards, refrigerator water filters, 8 memorial mugs from when the old boss died several years ago, 8 boxes full of pencils, and a small wooden tea box.

I'll be back with the list from the home desk later. It's likely to be longer, and rather more random... >_>
