    A clean desk is a sign of a not-busy-enough employee.

    I don’t know about resent. Perplexed would be a better term.

    I had a supervisor who would put all of the mess from the top of her desk to the empty drawers just to look organized while she was gone.

    I have several cats. There are no neat stacks of papers on my desk. The floor is my inbox. Maybe I should retaliate and use their litter box for my papers.

    Being every bit as obsessive as Goat, I would proceed to string Rat up by his ankles, let him watch while I straightened up everything, and then get mean….

    Perhaps the next thing Paris should clean is Rat’s clock!

    Two kinds of desks—- high rise and urban sprawl. Rat just made the latter.

    In the movie Man on the Flying Trapeze, W.C. Fields had what appeared to be a mess of papers on his desk, but it was actually a form of organization that worked perfectly for him.:Sometimes chaos is order.

    Funny—my desk at work was always clean and neat, and every night before I left, I tidied up. My desk at home is a mess, with piles of papers, books, and items that I am trying to keep out of the reach of my toddler grandsons. I wonder what that means?
