Featured Question #244: There's work... and then there's Work
What is your workspace like?
I dreamed last night that I was cleaning and finding all kinds of interesting things, for some reason on top of my tv set... like tarot cards and plants I didn't know I had, as well as dust, lots and lots of dust. This is probably because I have been cleaning so much at work lately that I know I should be cleaning at home too. That's the way it always seems to work out though. I use all my energy at work and have none to spare at home.
At work, my desk is VERY clean by the time I leave at the end of the day. Everything is in its place, and I know where everything is. I make it very easy for other people to find things on and in my desk if they are so inclined. And every day when I come back to work... my desk is a mess. Seriously. Papers and whatnot just lying all over the place, willynilly. Some papers pulled out of place and used as scrap paper! Grrrr. It really upsets me because I try to be courteous and conscientious about it always being clean when I leave so that people will be able to find things when I am not there to help them. It's very frustrating, especially since I recently lost my work computer and now must share with someone else, but so far (and she's only been with us a few days), she doesn't ever sign any of her programs off and so I'm leery of doing it for her so that I can sign on.
At home, my desk is a complete sty. lol Oh I know where everything is, but I don't have to share that space with anyone so I don't have to worry about people looking for things when I'm not around. I have all my bookshelves filled to capacity and organized in a way that is convenient to me... not really in a way that would make sense to others. heh Despite the mess, everything is organized (or at least I know where I last saw something). I just wish I could get around to dusting more often.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
April 10th
This is the seventh and last day of the Megalesia. An array of the deities was carried through a procession, and horse races were held with the prize of the first palm.
According to ancient Celtic folklore, the Sun dances each year on this day. In many parts of Ireland, people arise at the first light of dawn to watch the Sun "dance" in a shimmering bowl of water.
Bau, the Goddess Mother of Ea, was honored each year on this day in ancient Babylon with a sacred religious festival called The Day of Bau.
This is the birthday of Montague Summers, a scholar of folklore who specialized in the occult. He was born in 1880.

It's one thing to be cluttered and messy oneself, but to leave such a mess for someone who shares your space... not cool. I have had to share deskspace at jobs before... and that's when I'm the most conscientious and neat. Argh.
I'm so much the same way. Work most organized and a stack at home. Does that mean that they are perfect at home and slobs at work? Hmmm. Maybe I need to rethink this one.
