Not a toilet in the country has not been affected by the Ping in one way or another.

Messy Desk

How messy is your desk at work (or in your home office)? Admit it.

Today, I had “clean my desk day” because quite a bit of dust-n-crumbs had accumulated since the last such day. I gave my keyboard a good shaking and used disinfectant wipes on all the surfaces I come in contact with. Things feel much cleaner.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to eating my PB and J over my keyboard.

Messy in terms of food? Not at all. That’s just gross (sorry).

Messy in terms of dust? Some corners and hard-to-get-to places, sure, but not the active surfaces.

Messy in terms of papers, pens, and stickie notes? Oh, yeah. I have notes from years ago that I can no longer decypher, but save just in case I one day realize it was the secret of the universe and my handwriting was just sloppy.

Bad, very bad at home.

At work one of my co-workers left me a note on a stack of papers and told me to deal with them today. I am a clutter-magnet.

My desk is usually pretty clean except for when my co-workers move random stuff into my cube, like a table for instance, boxes of cables and other junk.

I hate messy desks – hate. My work desk is pretty clean overall but a couple of method wipes wouldn’t hurt any.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
