I have no storage solutions but at least I don’t have messy drawers

I never realised how much joy and order storage solutions bring to life until I started working somewhere where I have none.

I’m not claiming that I’m a highly-organised, tidy person; if you know me you’ll know how much of an overstatement this would be. But My desk right now is littered with so much stuff, and if I had drawers at my desk, then my desk would be tiday.

So it’s not my fault that my desk is untidy. I have no storage solutions, and I’d like this to be rectified. I’m fed up with people commenting on how messy I am – I’m not, I just don’t have any drawers like everyone else in the company has.

And so on my desk is a pack of liquorice organic tea, donated to me because it’s so rank that no one else in my team wanted it, and I don’t want it either, notepads, vital for making notes on everything, bits of paper which I just know I’m going to need some day, a pack of organic green tea which is admittedly empty and so I COULD put it in the bin, but haven’t, and about six half-drunnk cups of water. My desk is like Signs (the film, not the road variety) in this way.

And so yes, colleagues, my desk IS messy. But I don’t have drawers like you lot. And I say this to you: what is worse: messy desk, or messy drawers? No one likes messy drawers.
