I'm cleaning out my desk today for good. Which means I've officially come to terms with the fact that I could possibly be a contestant on that 'Hoarders' show. It is astounding the amount of 'crap' in my desk. Enough computer wires to create a small spaceship. An umbrella that is not only pee-green in color, but that doesn't even work. A roll of sparkly silver ribbon that I cannot for the life of me remember why this would be in my desk. Business cards from about three years ago with the wrong title on them. Boxes of printer labels - I have never used nor needed to use printer labels at all, why I have three boxes of them is beyond me. A gazillion blue pens for the person who only writes in black.
HOARDER.
Oops. My bad.
The scavengers are already circling. Fights over who gets my chair (I do have a brand new chair WITH a reclining option, it's in high demand). My monitors are being pilvaged. I managed to steal away my mousepad before it was stolen away from me.
No takers on the blue pens though. Come on people, they're BLUE pens for FREE!
My stapler is even gone. My stapler. What is this, an office space remake? It's not even a red stapler, just plain black.
Oh and there aren't any staples in it, because let's face it, I probably couldn't find them in my desk if I tried.
And so the vultures are circling. I guess I can't blame them since the majority of my prized desk possessions were the result of picking through the desks of those laid off last year. It's the circle of life, for office supplies.
For pete's sake though, will somebody take all these pens?

I see that you like Wedding Wednesdays! I host them, and I hope you stop by some time! You can see some other blogs that participate too :)
When is your wedding?

I'd take the blue pens off your hands in a heartbeat. I cannot write in black. And I'm with you in the hoarder category. But I have a strange obsession with toiletries. My linen closet is stocked with enough supplies for a family of 10 for the next three years.
P.S. Thank you for visiting my blog and the sweet comment about my dog.

I too have way too much crap in my desk. I am so jealous of your blue pens though since I prefer them and all the pens in our office are black.
