I don't have a desk. Three things on my portion of the bench at work:
1. most of a spindle of CD-Rs
2. printouts of some old emails about the login issues regarding various client networks
3. soda cans awaiting removal for recycling (why throw them in the box in the breakroom when I'm getting 55 cents a pound)
