What does your desk tell us about you?

[gaz]

Gaz - is that a desk or a dining table?

GrasB pt 2... the desk at home:

Interesting array of input devices there...does your mouse have a cold, it appears to be sitting on a hanky?

 

[jonny jeez]

My home desk....

I'm not allowed to do yours, I know too much about you already!...but the clues are there (eyeline wide screen monitor for creative work, speaker set up, microphone, PC and Mac use)

didnt know you were an Aston fan though, what is that a DB5 and a vanquish?

Yeah keyboard & t-ball for the PC under the desk then a keyboard & mouse for the iMac. The mouse is on a A5 piece of paper which has a few dabs of low-stick glue on the back side to keep it on the desk, it's a temporary measure. When I get the iMacs replacement things are going to get re-arranged a little bit & I can then get the mouse mat out again. I can also open the blinds & let some light into the room (I can't put the iMac anywhere that doesn't mean I end up with a window reflection obscuring half the screen when it's sunny out)

-You do, or have suffered from RSI
-Am a keen photographer.
-Don't wear a watch
-Multitool and chain links = bike fan (again thats a given)
-We know you use and edit videos
- I'm aware you work in new media design/publishing (but the different flavours of desktop/op.sys and monitors would have suggested as much)
-Dont carry a lot of cash (wallet is slim)
-you are a fan of retro fashion, Wayfarer's
-I suspect from the Raybans and the models you own a convertable car
-Not a coffee drinker, nor tea
-cant see the badge but sure it means something
-Likewise i cant make out the white square object on the right of the shelf...or what looks like a money clip on the left...important?
-your next door neighbour drives a blue nissan micra (or is that yours and I am wrong about the convertable)
-you live in a cul-de sac with some parking restrictions
-have leaded windows (probably a bay window)

I'm sure there's more, I'll keep looking

*Edit...*
-oh you work at your desk in shorts (probably your cycling gear!)

What not going to have a go at my desk at home

 

[Arch]

Well, I don't have a desk at work, so here's my 'desk' at home. Doubles as dining table, and workspace for my crafts. I don't think there's much relevant to the crafts on there though, or my job.

Otherwise, fire away!

-Multitool and chain links = bike fan (again thats a given) - The chain links are actually a bracelet
-We know you use and edit videos
- I'm aware you work in new media design/publishing (but the different flavours of desktop/op.sys and monitors would have suggested as much)
-Dont carry a lot of cash (wallet is slim) - I hate a big wallet, in fact that wallet is rather big for my taste
-you are a fan of retro fashion, Wayfarer's - Nah, those are 3d glass from a cinema, i'm not into retro.
-I suspect from the Raybans and the models you own a convertible car - Whilst the glasses aren't ray bans, I do own some ray bans, but not a convertible
-Not a coffee drinker, nor tea - I don't drink hot drinks, or intact any caffeine (the odd can of coke)

-you live in a cul-de sac with some parking restrictions - Nope

I'm sure there's more, I'll keep looking

*Edit...*
-oh you work at your desk in shorts (probably your cycling gear!) - rarely and no

It's actually very interesting to see what you pick up on.

Missed one thing and that is the poker chips (perhaps chip from the POV of the shot) behind the bracelet. I played a lot of poker at uni and made very good money doing so.

There's enough there for a conference!

 

[Arch]

Yeah, I'm not good at de-cluttering...

I haven't got over (so to speak) that picture of the dresser you posted a couple of years back.

The one with the alligator on it? Arch as a snappy dresser?

That's actually a little bit tidier these days.

I think it's all moved to the table.

Suggest changing the fork for a spoon if Rice Krispies are the next thing in the bowl Arch. I spotted threecapsmcginty's school cap tucked in there somewhere, and, if you saw 40mm off your chair using your tenon saw (it's behind the PC screen, under the bum bag and the greetings card bag...and put away that medication in case you have tiny tot visitors - oh sorry, it's a tablet PC, as you were) you'll be able to relocate that oily Brompton box - to under the scissors and mobile for example.
