What have you got on your monitor?

[whotheheckami]

In an attempt to post something that isn't too depressed I have been inspred by purrthecat...

What have you got on your monitor?

What items of tat, crap and other ephemera have you got surrounding your monitor in all contravention of your company's clear desk policy and good taste

I have:
My name board
A blue euro mascot
A fuse wire ballerina (made for me by deamongirl)
A monkey on a pole
Two pheasant feathers
Some Dilbert cartoon
Picture of Alexi and Ivan looking cute and mad respectively
Edit
I've just found a nice piece of rose quartz hiding behind the "Wheretheheckishe" notice!

Here, by my home PC, I have:

- A pair of speakers
- An AOL CD doing duty as a coster
- An actual Lucent coaster, with real coffee rings over the 'coffee ring' logo
- A small pile of paperwork (inc a Swecon 03 flyer)
- A plush Dogbert
- An eraser-tipped pencil with ROYAL AIR FORCE CLUB on the side
- A comb (I don't use it, why is it there?)
- A London Underground Map mouse-mat

Now, to answer the question properly, at work I have (scattered around my two PCs):

- Assorted post-its
- A round orange foam-rubber stress-reliever
- Another foam rubber stress-reliever, in the shape of a PC mouse
- A wedding photo of bugshaw and I
- A thick A3 pad of scribble-sheets (with 2002/2003 calendars on each sheet)
- A couple of pen-holders
- A small dinky-toy type model Chrysler PT Cruiser (like what I drive)
- A stapler, usually holding down the less sticky post-its
- An absolutely 100% genuine National Security Agency mouse-mat
- Miscellaneous white-board pens, and a tatty white-board eraser
- Two 6" deep in-trays

Are you still a member

I cancelled mine when I retired and have toyed with the idea of re-joining. Do you think it offers value for money?

>>- Two 6" deep in-trays
Shouldn't all that be filed away? ;@)

Now that I can stay with purplecthulhu when I need to overnight in London, I don't use the RAF Club as much as I might. However, I did stay there again recently when I had to be in London one afternoon then get an early train from Paddington the next day, and the trip across from Bethnal Green would have been a bit awkward.

It's very cheap for what effectively is a 4-star hotel next to Green Park. If you don't mind the dress code (which is only an issue if you want to use the facilities as well as the accommodation) then it is a low cost and very nice place to stay in central London.

Shouldn't all that be filed away?

(Very embarrassed cough) Erm, yes. Especially the bits of paper with SECRET at the top and bottom of each page. Yes, of course I lock them away in a safe every night, but this afternoon I finally got round to spending an hour sorting out the stuff which had to be booked into proper files. The actual filing is tomorrow's fun job...

>>I finally got round to spending an hour sorting out the stuff which had to be booked into proper files.
I usually do that when I don't want to do the real work that's sitting at the top of the tray ;@)
