This post is inspired by reading a similar post by a friend. He has posted pictures of his home workspace and described it. The description is as meticulous and tidy as the workspace.
My workspace at home, which is a 12 feet long ledge, two revolving chairs, a wall on which the ledge is supported and a window niche in it. It is anything but tidy at most of the times. Right now, the inventory reads like (from left to right)
An empty gift box on which are piled assorted papers, spectacle wipe, plastic pack of my new Kodak battery charger
Several writing pads, scribbled notes, bills, telephone diaries, pencil boxes, photo albums, books, and cobwebs on the window ledge.
Coming back to the ledge itself: medicine pouch, torch, hand sanitiser, telephone, scissors, 5 assorted battery chargers, 3 digital cameras, two laptops, power cords of 2 cameras, several cables emanating from the laptop, external hard disc, modem, printer and scanner, one functioning mouse, one non-functioning mouse, 1 laptop cleaning kit, one rag to clean the ledge. (btw, the rag is clean, ledge is not).
On the wall are 3 framed print posters by FLW, Warhol and Lichtenstein and a tube-light.
Coming back to the ledge again: the remaining items are a couple of books, a box of slides which I am scanning for last 6 months, sun-screen lotion and a trophy.
Coming to the chairs: on one of them, I am seated and on the other is hung semi dried laundry.
Phew! I bet, no one wants to see a picture of this mess.
I do, esp. if it has you in it.

ReplyDeleteOh I didn't reckon with you! But that moment has gone. I am still seated on the chair but the embarrasing laundry has dried since and is folded, waiting to be kept away. Some of the other mess has been cleared by the husband.
It just occurs to me that I gave only a half description of the workspace. On the wall behind is the bookshelf and two other chairs in front of it. The contents of this chairs - on it and below it- would knock out even you.
