Friday Narrative - Office Horror in Pictures

Oh friends,

Our office is in such terrible shape! I've been using my laptop in the kitchen for months because it's so hard to get work done in the office. Well this week DH brought his laptop out, too. The hurricane of papers, kid craft stuff, homeschool stuff, and office offal is really overwhelming. Warning! The images that follow are extremely embarrasing to my psyche. They're probably fine for you . . .

This is to the immediate right as you enter the door. Our printer is on its box on the floor because we didn't have desk space for it/didn't bother to move the old printer. The bookshelf in the corner was intended for office supplies & software but it's just a catch-all now.

On the right wall is our collapsible, six foot table we're using as a desk with no drawers or shelves to stash the junk. That's DH's old dinosaur computer he can't part with because of college software on it. That's my old laptop, too, a hand-me-down from a friend when ours was stolen back in 2008. Finally, in the far corner. A tall file cabinet and a short file cabinet.

This is the wall opposite the door. Basically the kid craft area. I want to remove this from the office because naughty child things keep happening to my paperwork. On top of the table is a box of gardening gear for growing seedlings. This room gets very hot on warm days and it's the perfect place for plants.

On the left wall we have the bookshelves. Books, books in front of books, alphabet boxes for homeschool, random videos, 'collectible' stuff I'm supposed to sell on ebay in a box on the floor, and a box of stuff that came out of our car when we sold it back in November.

Finally the corner to the left of the door. These drawers are filled with tons of homeschool gear, office supplies, and one each for sporting gear and winter gear.


There will be much leaving this room, but I think lots will be paperwork. I'm hoping not to bore you with office posts, so I'll try to alternate with other stuff as I progress.

p.s. My further delay was due to a final tax return that just wouldn't die. My spare time went to that instead of blogging.
