Whats on Your Computer Desk???

Hey,

I just cleaned up my computer desk and I noticed how much cool stuff I had on my desk...

So I though I would start a thread to see what other people would have on their desk...


I'll start it off:

I have a basketball (very small)
A Rock
and a Fish Tank with Sea-Monkeys

Technically, the only thing 'on' my computer desk is a glass plate. It was cut to fit the size of the table (They almost got a perfect fit...), so everything else sits on it.

A cup of cold coffee, a half empty bag of Milano Double Chocolate cookies, and a Firemen calendar my sister gave me. Wow, those guys sure wear skimpy uniforms.

Until we swapped out our 19" CRTs for LCD displays, wife and I both often had cats sleeping on the monitors. Nice and warm.

One of the cats is still a bit puzzled why she can't jump up there to her former cozy spot.

Other items on my desk - bills, several notepads, cup full of pens, telephone, pile of CDs, headphones and a speaker/headphone switch, several dustbunnies.

Well, the top layer has a plushy cthulu(sp), a bunny-man in a noose, assorted CDs (games, music and data), books, pay stubs, coffee stains (bottom layer), UPS -- there is more, it is BIG corner-type desk. I finally took my (portable??!) O.E.D. off the desk and put it back on the shelf, this left a nice blank spot so I can clean that area, start the process of picking stuff and deciding if it is to remain on the desk or go into a 'stuff' box (I have filled 2 computer paper boxes with stuff over the years and now those need organizing, sigh), then cleaning that area etc.

I've got everything from calculator manuals and tuxedo buttons to fungal cream and foreign currencies. The only thing I keep clear is a path to my monitor so I can see what's on my screen.
