Since we all spend soooooooooo much time in front of our computers........i was wondering, what do you keep with in reaching distance next to your computer?
Usually some smokes and a drink or two.....the remote for my home audio system is nearby often as well as the phone so if someone actually calls me.........I can talk.
Pack of Newports, TV remote (Even if I'm not watching it I NEED background noise), a huge glass of milk (Sometimes beer, but usually milk)A notepad to write poems or html or any little spur of the moment inspiration I get that I may need to use on one of my websites, and a huge stack of books in case I get bored during a long download and this board is slow.
Junk naturally stockpiles on my desk. I have a set of bean bags for juggling closest to me right now. Hand lotion, a couple of teddy bears, even a toothbrush. Too many other things to mention.
But what's here for the purpose of convenience?
Phone, dictionary, pens and little notebooks. A coaster for the various drinks I sometimes have here.
Scanner, printer, mouse pad, mouse, various floppy disks, vacuum cleaner manual, windows manual, CD-R's, bag of candy, glass of Dr. Pepper, wadded up paper towel, TV remote, VCR remote, LOTS of games, phone, corkboard, two calendars, webcam, digital cam, two boxes of envelopes, two magazines, writing paper, post-it's, a little toy I got out of a Kinderegg, a joystick, the complete National Geographic on CD, portable CD player, two music CD's, and a drawer full of pens, pencils, manuals, phone books, calculator, stapler, compass, erasers, staples, pencil sharpener, label maker, rulers, highliters, another label maker, and some colored pencils! *whew* Oh, almost forgot.
