New Year’s Goal – Update

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about needing to clean up my desk and office space both at home and at work.  I posted a photo of what my desk at work looked like.  It was sad, wasn’t it?  For the sake of history preservation, I’ve posted that same ‘before’ shot here.

I can’t remember which day I actually broke down and cleaned my desk up, but it looks 100 times better now.  I was truly surprised at how much desk I actually had under all that mess.  Not only that, I’m not raking stuff from my desk to the floor accidentally any more – it’s pushed back out of the way, but within easy reach when I need it.  So, without further ado (Is that how you spell that?), here is my desk today:

See what I mean?  You can barely tell it’s even the same desk.  I feel like it’s a whole new desk.  But alas, it still has the same view of more interior white walls.  I do have a window, but it only looks into the server room.  To get a view of the outside world, I must walk to the front of the office building to the door.  But now I’m digressing completely from the entire point of this entry.

To get things back on track, you should be proud to know that my office at home is also in much better shape.  My desk still needs a little work, but you can walk through the entire office now without fear of stepping on something that will hurt your feet.  I can also get the closet door shut now – that’s always a big plus.
