    Lol!.. My desk seems to accumulate rubbish over weeks and then I finally get round to tidying and its nice and tidy..

    But then the rubbish slowly accumulates once again!.. Its one BIG cycle!! But I wouldn't say it was linked to happiness directly!!

    There are three types of people in this world you cannot trust
    - Non-Alcohol drinkers
    - Vegetarians
    - People who keep tidy desks

    Depends on one's definition of tidy...

    Tidy to me means that things are located in places where you can find them with ease, and know where specific items are albeit if this is in a random array.

    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    How did clifford the big red dog get in there????

    Next to my desk is another desk - my brothers with his PC on it. My brothers desk is very untidy compared to mine. If I took a picture of them both together (I might tomorrow), I bet you could guess which one's mine .
