Like most people, my desk is littered with kipple; so much in fact that at
times it's hard to get any work done. I'd like to think that there is some form
of order to the chaos, but for the most part I can never find what I am looking
for without engaging in a bit of an archaeological excavation.
Desk Kipple Inventory
Here is a basic inventory of the kipple on my desk as shown on the picture
above. This inventory is by no means complete and the actual inventory of my
desk changes from day to day, but it gives a snap shot of a particular moment in
time and is representative of a regular day in my life:
