Organizational Deficit

[mer]

I really should have taken a picture of my desk a couple hours ago, when I reached critical despair about my organizational plan for my office. A trip to the store later, and I am making steadyish progress in repairing the Clutter That Is.

The subdivision's annual yard sale is this week. I am definitely participating. I hope to get rid of many things... Unfortunately, we live at the end of the circle, and when my neighbors don't participate (most years), we don't attract too many folks down this way. When they do, it's steadily busy, not unlike Halloween. But I figure I will spend the downtime gardening, if I get downtime, and call it a day if I don't.

Anyway, that's a few days off, and I still have an organizational deficit. Too many papers. Not enough cubbies. I'm working on it, though. Here's the During shot (a little late for Before):



Also, here's my cat nomming on the aloe plant, until I moved the comfy chair away from the window/plant stand:



...apropos of nothing, but I think it's funny. Or I did once I rescued my plant.

I would like to know about the tape measure.

Every time I put it away, I have to drag it back out, so I just started keeping it at my desk. I don't know if I measure more things than the average person, or what? But seriously. Like at least three times a week. "I wonder how many feet of shelf space I devote to poetry?" "Are my wrists thinner?" "I forgot the volume of my fish tank... well, shoot, L X W X H, right?" "What's my bra size again?"

So. Yeah.

The last thing I measured was the dimensions of my favorite saddle pad (Saturday). Prior to that...I don't even remember.

I think I'm an eyeballer. :)
