What does your desk tell us about you?

[snorri]

Today I had my office window open.

Is that Cromarty Firth?

ok *deep breath* > currently on the phone hence the lead across the desk

ooo I like this one.

-Water bottle suggest a cyclist (that probably a given for all entries though!)
-You are frugal...or very busy...or care what you eat, as you take a packed lunch to work
-A smoker (hence the gum).
-you are a new parent...(Congrats!)
-Right handed
-left side of the brain for using the phone (rational, analytical)
-PEBKAK desktop suggests you work in IT
-headset on opposite desk suggest you work on the phone...perhaps IT support
-dont know who AN EMPIRE are, but am sure thats a giveaway
-no business cars or holder, so office based work I suspect (supports the above)
-Cant see what the black things are...are they bike lights on charge?
-you listen to music while you work...which kinda rules out IT support, but I'm going to ignore that

Lets see what you guys make of this... if I remember I'll take a cam into work tomorrow to pick up more detail.

Well, we all know what a box of tissues next to a computer means, don't we?

I'm sorry, but most of what I've seen so far are work stations.

Your employers and colleagues may tell you that you have got a desk, but they're just humouring you.

This is a desk

Although this one looks fun

Now to find a cycling related desk.

Bike rack and desk combined

And your boss doesn't even have to find you a chair!

-Water bottle suggest a cyclist (that probably a given for all entries though!)
-You are frugal...or very busy...or care what you eat, as you take a packed lunch to work - frugal/broke
-A smoker (hence the gum). -no just like to chew
-you are a new parent...(Congrats!)yep and thanks
-Right handed yes
-left side of the brain for using the phone (rational, analytical) mm possibly its just there due to cable length and i like my bottles on the right ( protein shake after commute and all that)
-PEBKAK desktop suggests you work in IT yea techsupport
-headset on opposite desk suggest you work on the phone...perhaps IT support Bingo!
-dont know who AN EMPIRE are, but am sure thats a giveaway tis a joke flip board has lots funy phrases ( had just falling over as i took the pic) - it says in full rome did not create an empire by having meetings - they did it by killing all those who opposed them
-no business cars or holder, so office based work I suspect (supports the above) yep dont want ppl knowing my number
-Cant see what the black things are...are they bike lights on charge? yep my lezyne superdrive lights
-you listen to music while you work...which kinda rules out IT support, but I'm going to ignore that headphones are for lunch time when i watch tv or a movie streamed from my home server

 

[jonny jeez]

I'm happy with that result, apart from the smoker thing....damn

Ok then you are a 60 year old designer with an interest in scale models, cranes, design artifacts and historic buildings.

That all suggests that you are an architect...but I dont think you are I think you are a product designer, possibly in the engineering trade.

So...Why did you move the pink pants from on top of the monitors...interesting, what's that telling us?
-Apple device, suggests you work in a creative medium
-Desktops suggest an interest in astonomy
-Comfy headphones suggest long term use...perhaps professionally
-Back up drive suggests large, valuable files being created (perhaps image/video based)
-Dual monitors supports this theory
-Notepad and pencils at the ready suggests a need to make notes frequently, its location in front of the monitor suggests the notes are related to what is on the monitor
-Right handed
-upside down mug suggests fear of spiders

-Are you a technician...perhaps in IT

-Elastic band ball suggests a fair amount of incoming mail/bundled documents. So perhaps you edit scripts as well.

*EDIT*..
- oh and you drink black coffee (instant) with two sugars... frequently
-Work a lot on the keyboard, judging by the wear on the desk
-use a traditional desk but modern tools which suggest you are either 40+ or live at home and are in your 20's
-you wear pink pants but prefer to go commando in the office!

My desk tells the world I'm using someone else's desk.

One would be able to peddle a load of crap on cycling forums with one of those!
