My Desk

My desk-- Ignore the paper and junk on all sides and above it and focus on the space that's mine, the surface of the desk. The other desks are cluttered and covered, but I keep my clear and simplistic. I think of it a display, as a tribute, as something other than a desk.



In the center of the desk are a number of objects, numbered, on a tray. They are a work-in-progress. I'm currently writing the accompanying written portion.



The manikins: I was looking forward to the manikins before I got to Elsewhere. I'd seen them in the pictures online. Unlike the manikins most stores, these are allowed to be touched. I was always see the manikin and want to play with them, but never can. But now, what fun!

The sad puppy: He looks so adorable. So I put him on my desk.

The sad puppy guarding the hand with the sign asking people not to disturb my work in progress:



The other manikin arm holds the trophy.

The trophy: the 2006 first place Greensboro Day School chess trophy appeared in our mailbox. I claimed it.



I don't actually use my desk, usually preferring to sit on a couch, whether I'm reading, writing, or using my computer.
