Who keeps this kind of junk in their desk at work? Someone who's been there way too long, and is way too comfortable with staying right where they are. I guess it's a good thing our office is moving to a new building on Congress at the end of this week. It'll give me a good reason to throw away a whole lot of stuff that I should have been throwing away as I was going along.

Stuff in My Desk Drawer
I opened my drawer at work recently, and was sort of surprised by the random collection that resides there. Currently in that top drawer are:
a rubberband chain about eight feet long
additional rubberbands that never made it into the chain
packages of Orbit citrusmint flavor gum, which was my favorite for a week
the box for my desk phone's hands-free headset
containers of generic ibuprofen from Target and Albertson's
a container of Sortkwik, used to moisten fingers for faster and more accurate collation (which I do once a year in preparation for the client conference, but brought from Motorola where I hadn't collated anything in years)
a half-completed McDonalds Monopoly game board
four ketchup packets
a bag of honey-lemon cough drops
a protractor
assorted sizes of PostIt notes, all yellow
an assorted pile of paperclips, binder clips, and desk/chair hardware that I hope isn't necessary
two containers of sour apple Altoids
a pair of socks I must've worn a month ago, but in a fidgety conference call, removed
the owner's manual to my keyboard (longer than most keyboard manuals)
