National Clean Off Your Desk Day
Well, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I thought "oh, I'll participate in National Clean Off Your Desk Day!" Ay caramba. I really meant it as motivation to clean off my desk at work, which usually serves as a catch-all for anything my boss doesn't want to deal with. This is what I encountered this morning when I got to the office:
... and just so you'll be really impressed, here's the other side of the office:
It was a little overwhelming at first, but just by picking up one thing at a time and dealing with it, I was able to clean off my desk (and credenza) before the end of the day!
Whew! I made it. Of course ... then I came home to this:
YIKES!!! Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as I thought, and I was able to get it under control in about an hour:
Now if I can just get the cats to stop messing up my office while I'm at work ... good grief.
So ... how did you celebrate Clean Off Your Desk Day?

Oooh - TWO desks cleaned. I can't match that. I try, but stuff just keeps coming back.
Wow, I'd be thrilled to death if my desk looked like your BEFORE photo much less your AFTER photo!
@Greta - don't be too impressed. It's likely to only last the day.
@Donna - see above. LOL!!
(Thank goodness Clean Your Desk Day is only one day a year, right?)
I am impressed, Jenny.
My excuse for ignoring the day is taht I couldn't locate my desk in my study.
Ha ha ha ha ha, Jill! That's probably the best excuse ever! (If you don't see it, it doesn't exist, right?)
I didn't tackle my real desk this year for Clean Off your Desk Day, I went for a small desk in the kitchen where our phone is. Found a 50 dollar gift card to Cheesecake Factory! Is that a great reward or what?!
That is fantastic, Michelle! I didn't find anything but a pack of stale crackers. Trade?
LOL
