Workplace

My husband looked at my work area today (while mopping the floors of our home) and wondered aloud, "Why is your table so messy?"

Hee hee. The answer to his question: I don't know. He wasn't the first person to ask me that question too.

When I work, I have this weird habit of unconsciously piling references, books, papers and etc around my main arm-space (i.e. in front of the laptop keyboard). Before you know it, many other unessential things are caught in the web (or nest) - from wires to abandoned tissue paper (from crying out in frustration or wiping my mouth during snack-times). The more stressed I am, the more bombastic the mess. The worst was when I was preparing for my med & surg finals... Because my desk eventually became TOO messy, I began working on my bed - and soon, my bed was the center of a universe of books and papers. I had barely any room to walk about in my room. Imagine how hard I worked to move out of Sri York.

BUT... that of course is the past. I don't get to be quite as bad now, because my hubby will give me that tortured look, poor dude - and therefore, I've resolved to be a tidier person! Still working on it, definitely.
I promise to work harder when we move into our new home.
