show us pics of your desk

That is a classic setup.

Once upon a once, I posted pictures of my desk at home (along with that of my wife). I've never posted pictures of my desk at the office ... too shamefully cluttered.

 

But I'm working on a separate project two days a week for a while, and so have another desk across campus. I've not had the time or stuff to clutter it up and am enjoying the mostly empty expanse of wood.

I want the pewter chalice you have your pens in!!! I'll send you a short glass vase you can use instead!

[AllenG]

Gorgeous set up, AllenG! I think I want what's on your desk and the glimpses of what's around it even more than the desk! If it's not too impertinent to ask, what do you do (by profession, I mean)?

 

I'm a photographer/product designer.

Not that one could tell from that poor image.

My latest desk picture after extensive spring cleaning:

Today I noticed something strange about myself and realized it has been going on for years. I teach math and science in a science classroom. It's actually a terrible room for the classes I teach, but I make it work. I have a computer cart (the photo was taken in 2008 overlooking the computer cart). However, I also created a desk out of a table and an elderly student desk in an L-shape with a bright yellow vinyl 1970s desk chair that is very comfortable. There is also a demonstration table at the front of the room, but there is no comfortable way to sit at it because I can't get my legs under it.

 

So, do I use my scrapped-together desk and nice chair when I'm at school? No. I either balance papers on my lap and work at the computer cart or I pull up a student chair to one of the lab tables and do my work there. (Come to think of it, I need to photograph this desk thing.) At home, I either work in my kitchen at the kitchen table or in the living room with my work balanced in my lap or on a wooden TV tray.

 

So, here is my classroom from 2008. The lights have all been replaced, the skylight is gone, and the room is now a new color. But it is mostly the same. These are the tables I work at.

I've never seen a classroom like that except in movies. Cool! I like the plants all over.

Looks like my high school back in the 70s.

I hope I have a better computer!

 

But, yes, this room is essentially unchanged since it was built some time in the 1960s.

 

However, it was flattering to hear that it looks like something from a movie!

[Namru]

Finally got my little corner cleared and usable. This is the writing half with the rig and monitors shoved on the other end.

Wow, that's so much nicer than my classrooms.

Another photograph of my desk, with my writing-slope in place.

[TXKat]

...okay, I'm goin' in....If I miss the Dallas Pen show this weekend, you'll know the study and my desk won!!!!

 

I'll post a new photo once it's organized! (See disaster at the beginning of this page...)

[amberleadavis]

That writing slope is very nice.

[TXKat]

Shangas...did you make your slope? I would love to make one!

This is what I call a desk.

 

Wait for the easel.

Hopefully, my new desk will be set up by the end of the week. It did finally make it to the living room, but it's still in the box. I told my contractor yesterday that I had a dream of sittiing at my desk in the morning, with my cuppa hot tea, wearing my satin dressing gown, and gazing out the window, watching the birds and bunnies frolic in the front yard. One can dream.

There was an antique store in Arlington that had a piece with all kinds of hidden compartments, but I don't think it was this cool!!!! Wow!

(And they wanted $35K!!!!!!!)
