I'm almost afraid to list out all the crap on my desk. But let's just say a part of the mess of my desk are all the weird-o food stains I've left behind.

Very insightful really.

* Canon digital camera with case Your inner being likes to capture everyday moments
* Packaging, manual and cords for camera You value and cherish these everyday moments so dearly, that you are afraid you may miss a moment and want to make sure you are always ready to capture a lifetime memory.
* Large bag of rubberbands the keeping of rubberbands means you want to hold people near you. The fact that it's a big bag and it's out where you can grab them easily, means you have a lot of people you want to keep near at all times and fear if they dont' remain close, they may slip away.
* Lots of file folders I notice that you have a lot of file folders, yet did not mention them having anything in them. This could be a sign that you are wanting organization, yet never manage to actually have it so
* Lots of notebooks and notepads you are a gifted writer and should look into publishing, talk to Angie about querying
* Lots of pensI would know better if I knew if these were regular bic ones, advertisement ones or creative ones... not enough information here. But I can tell from your plethora of them, that you are a pen stealer, and others should stay guarded when you are near.
* Yellow highlighterDue to only one, and it being yellow, shows that you play things safe, and fear putting your originality out there, in fear someone might discredit it.
* Chapstick you are in real need to be kissed.
* Box of Kleenex you are experiencing fall allergies
* My glasses You do not need glasses to see the world and can rely on your instincts to guide you on your way
* Two tickets to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular you like to be cultured and have at least one or more friends who is very jealuos of you
* Monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers you see the best in people though critical of those who deny their talents
* Head phones This shows your desire to listen to others,
* Glass of water not enough information, is this glass half empty or half full?
* Empty mug from this morning’s cappuccino the fact that you had a cappuccino rather than coffee shows that you like a little more zest in your life. You expect life to be full of surprises and ingenuity.
* Tape dispenser Ahh,this shows that you have many great qualities including: energetic, optimistic, ambitious, freedom-loving, adventurous, independent, jovial, good-humored, gifted conversationalist, storyteller, entertainer, lucky, generous, honest, straightforward, intellectual, philosophical, seeker of challenge, imaginative, clever, versatile, open to new ideas and exploration and stunningly goodlooking.
* Stapler You are adaptable, tolerant, philosophical, knowledgeable, and honest
* Phone You are concerned with such areas as imagination, aspirations, and open-mindedness
* Uneaten pear you have low fiber and need to eat more
* Stacks of “Culture Passes” to be folded you are a procrastinator
* Dictionary you are well versed in life's trials.
* Phone book you love adventure, travel and philosophy -- all ways of extending beyond your immediate surroundings.
* Three stacks of newspapers Finding common-sense solutions may seem logical to you, but can be mind-boggling to others. You have the knack of seeing things in black and white
* Dying plant you would be better off with a cactus
* Old movie posters calendar you have great wit, intellect, and flashes of intuition
* Photos of my family you are a very loving, and family oriented person
* Spanish that Works binder You like men who are tall dark and handsome with a quick wit and a sly romantic side
* Miscellaneous binders and books again need more information about what books they are
* Plastic St. Patrick’s Day mini hat you value a good beer
* Earplugs they are not in your ears, which means though you sometimes like to tune the world's troubles out, you are okay to listen to them occassionally
* Nametag that I usually refuse to wear you feel that your identity should not be reduced to a name/number, and that you are more valuable than that.
* Post-it notes An interest in others and the desire to help others is your mission in life,
* Obama Biden magnet You think McCain is old
* Shannon: Super Awesome Person magnetic nametag You are somewhat narcissistic...but in a good way
* Purse you have a life
* Inter-office mail envelopes You are very concerned with honesty, justice, morality
* Desk lamp you prefer that light is shed on the truth and not hidden in the darkness

Plagiarism was in fact used countless times here, though some were of my own wit. Yes, I was bored.

Ugh...Some days just get like that, don't they? Thank God for the weekends!

Hmm.

Im typically on my laptop at home and rarey use a "workspace" per se. But at work, we have to adhere to 6S (go ahead google it). --Where we arent allowed to have more than 3 personal items on our desk, and if youre not using "it" at the moment, you cant have "it" out. BLURRG! CURSES! (shaking fist in air)
