a long time coming
My desk has looked like this since time immemorial, or at least since last fall.

That salad bowl was from today, though. I don't know how long the water bottle was tucked back there.
Anyway, this has been a major source of irritation and anxiety for me. It's true I don't have much to do in this world anymore besides walk the dog, but underneath the pile of books (seven total, to be exact) and various scrap papers, there are several months worth of receipts for which I need to log sales tax into Quicken. (Is your life this exciting, too?)
I finally found my web cam, calculator, Quicken backup memory stick, Whitney gardens catalog (I wanted to buy some species rhododendrons in the spring, alas), three pads of paper, seeds, memorial cards, and the last Christmas card I'll ever get from my cousin Joe. And even though I dusted, I wouldn't exactly say this desk is clean, but I am overjoyed to say it's decrappified.

No worries. It won't take me long to crap this all up again.
I'd like to thank the Academy.... okay, that would be hobbitt, for never giving me grief about this mess he's had to pass by, on a daily basis, in our shared office. And - wouldya help me with some of the monthly filing, pretty please?

oh great. first you post a picture that gets my wife calling me into the office to see. she said it looked exactly like my computer desk. then you showed a picture of it cleaned up, and now she has been giving me the evil eye, hinting that it CAN be done.
way to go C.
p.s. how did you get into my house, and why doesn't it look cleaned up in here? some sort of earth magic?
kindred spirits i guess. except of course the whole gender thing, and you being caring and compassionate and artistic and stuff. other than that, exactly alike. oh, except for

My desk is a bit of a mess as well. Perhaps I'll try and clean it up tomorrow.
Then again...
