Desk drawer of AWESOME

[JoitheArtist]

Ok, so I hate my desk. It's a sort of hutch-like thing that will be sure to kill me when the big earthquake hits. There's nowhere to put my feet, and you can't really type on the keyboard when it's in the desk drawer.

However. There is one perk to this desk. The bottom half of it has two large cabinet sections. One holds my laptop when I'm done for the day. The other...

Contents of Desk Cabinet of Awesome:

Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate mix
Pancake syrup (don't ask)
A remote-control Dalek
3 volumes of Hellboy.

That cabinet along means I have the best desk in this whole building.

(Hellboy is there because myself and the web designer are both geek girls: she loans me books, I loan her graphic novels and anime. She just finished Sandman, so I'm loaning her Hellboy next)

Heheeh I want a desk drawer like that.

Pancake syrup (don't ask)

Nope, you mentioned it, so start talking.

LMAO!!!


But I am also now curious about the syrup....if its not for pancakes.....?

*L* I knew that would send minds spinning into the gutter.

It is for pancakes, of course. I sometimes stash Eggo waffles in the freezer at work. But if I left the syrup out, one of my coworkers would make off with it, so...

There's a wonderful thread in Off Topic that you should check out.

Yeah...all 82 pages of it

Edited for my amusement...

Man, would that be sticky....

My desk may not be as awesome, but I think it's interesting.

Books: Renfield, The Historian, The Lovely Bones, Gods in Alabama

A plush dragon named Diarmuid, who guards my desk for me

Lots of pictures of my kids

A postcard from India

A plush moose I was given at Christmas, a little Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas with a rose in her coffin bed, Scheich dark fairy queen, Scheich wolf, some crystals, and a squeezy mummy head that spits goo

Did you ever watch Boston Legal?

The Lovely Bones,

Ooooh, I loved that book! Sad, but good.

Joi, I wish I had a coworker I could trade graphic novels with. I've got some great coworkers/work friends, but nobody else reads graphic novels or comics.

Oh, sad!! I have two coworkers that do, but one is a total poser. *L* He kept going on and on about how V for Vendetta was amazing, it was his favorite, etc. My roommate at the time had a copy of it, so I sat down and read it. I read fast, so it took what, 2 days? I go back to work and strike up a conversation with him about it...yeah, turns out he never finished reading it. He claims he just "reads slow," and was "annotating" his copy. Um...yeah, he'd been talking about it for months. I'm not convinced.
But Kat and I have a great time trading emails about Sandman, and I'm looking forward to loaning her Hellboy so I'll have someone to discuss it with!

Now if I could just find a co-worker who reads XKCD and I-Mockery...

Best Desk Ever

I still remember almost squealing with glee as I saw the desk I would get if I got my current job, back when I interviewed for it. It's a desk constructed out of pure awesome and held together by sticky liquid nerd-goo. The crowning jewel is the Zoidberg action figure I got for Christmas from an online friend.
