I don’t know if this is a new series I’m starting or if I’m just completely weird, but ever since I wrote about my writing table a few weeks ago, I’ve wanted to show you my desk at Mocha Club as well.
1. The desk itself- a folding table. Impressivo, eh? But listen, in the economy we live in, I’m just thrilled to have a job that I absolutely love. So if they said, “hey, sit here under the sink and work” I’d probably say okay. Or, I’d say, “that’s kinda weird- can I just sit on the floor of the conference room?”
2. Me old laptoppy. I have a goal to purchase a new one in 2011. Since, you know, I’ve had this one for over 3 years and it has my paw prints all over it and about as much memory as a nursing home bingo player.
3. Paper cup. I left my water bottle at home today and barf. I’m having to drink out of one of those cups that gets soggy and squishy and waxy.
4. A super cool painting that my sister Sally did. It’s Africa. [Since I work at Mocha Club and all, I found it to be apropos.] I stole it from her bedroom at home. Sorry bout it.
5. A cool book from my friend Ishita who runs the Fear.Less online magazine. I read a bit of this book everyday.
6. Sticky notes. Because they are cute and funny. [I just wrote that and then realized that I have no idea what makes sticky notes funny, but I wrote it. So. Maybe it's true.]
7. A picture with some of my very bestest friends when we were in Chicago last August. It was one of the greatest trips I’ve taken- full of laughs and relaxation and all around awesome.
8. A little motivation from my friend Seth Godin. I promise it doesn’t mean what you think it does. It’s symbolic and it means a whole lot more.
9. My accountability group. They are always watching. So I better behave.
10. Piles. Because, as you know, I am a big fan of piles.
Hey- if you get the hankering to photograph a table/desk/counter top and label it and tell us about it on your blog, link to it in the comments. I think seeing your world would be pretty fascinating.
Amen.
This is awesome Annie!
Thanks for sharing! – and for sharing in such an entertaining manner

i would link to a picture of my numbered desk, but a) it would be sad for me because i am not using it right now and b) it is a bit outside of my range of technical abilities to number a picture. (and c there is too much junk on it, you would get bored after the tenth thing)

#8 rocks! I know you can do it.

Cool view. My view would scare you.

I stole an Annie-ism today.
We were at the Praha Zoo, looking at the penguins.
I said to my non-native-English-speaking-friend, “There’s more penguin goodness over here.”
It apparently crossed cultural boundaries effectively because she followed me into the penguin house.
Boo ya.

All right, here’s my newly improved desk. I couldn’t help but show it off just a little bit. Hope you are enjoying your desk today, Annie.
