what in the name of all things holy would give you the idea that this is ok?

i guess i can appreciate the thought, but goddamnit, everything's in the wrong place :mad:

I love that sort of thing. The person's probably very satisfied that they "fixed" your office and now everything's where it "should" be.

Hell, it's bad enough for me when I clean up after myself and can't find anything for a week.

By the way -- I alphabetized your spices by the Latin names. I figured that'd make it easier for you.

No need to thank me!

This was actually something I had to do at one of my previous jobs at the end of the week for 4 different desks, and I never understood it because come Monday morning they were all asking me where everything was. Slobs.

Furthermore...I'm looking in your sock drawer and it's shameful...you've got plaid dress socks tossed in with white athlectic socks,they're mingling...and...and...is this a pair of slippers in here?....slippers in the sock drawer!...we've got some serious work ahead of us...

I am the notorious "leaving food to rot in tupperware containers around my work area" person at my job.

other people always end up cleaning up after me. Im a jerk :(

the guy who used to use the desk i am at now has tons of papers that i have no idea how he kept anything organized. i really wish i could just move/get a new computer at the desk that i was given when i started because then i'd at least have my own space to cover with all my files and such

Before I left my last job, I had the woman come in for a couple of weeks training her, and part of it was renaming files. Like, "How would
you think to look for this?" So the transition was pretty smooth. I've only gotten two questions via e-mail since I've been here.

I have a method to my madness.

Even when I, myself, have "organized" things I can't find them and the madness starts all over again.
