1. Encouraging Post-it note from a coworker. (Thanks, Jeri!)
2. Overtime approval form from the end of October.
3. Two Christmas cards from coworkers. Both had been opened and read.
4. A potential article with the topic of “rejection.” The note from my boss was to “reject” it. Ironic.
5. Two e-mails from Oct. 8. (This shows how long it’s been since I’ve given my desk a really thorough cleaning. I had taken care of the query contained in the e-mails.)
6. My long-lost staple remover. (How I’d missed it!)
7. An envelope that had been returned to sender (me). A note inside said the recipient hadn’t worked for the company since 1985. (It’s been awhile since I’ve cleaned my desk, but it hasn’t been THAT long.)
8. A note pad that’s been buried since just before Christmas.
9. Multiple copies of various items I refer to often. Apparently, I needed to refer to one of them, couldn’t find it, and printed a new one.
10. Labels that were to be put on boxes when our office moved – in September.
11. A million now-unnecessary Post-it notes.
12. My calculator.
13. The surface of my desk. It’s walnut-colored. I hadn’t remembered.

I think that Post It notes multiply behind our backs when we're not looking!
Happy TT! mine's up...
It's always nice to get organized, huh?
Hurray for a clean desk! Boy I bet that's like a breath of fresh air. What brought on the change? It's so much work....
Happy TT!

The one with the disorganized but 'cleaned off' work area.
Nothing like a clean, organized desk!
Your No. 5 reminds me I owe a friend a letter! Yeesh and egads. Where does time go?
I have a mess here too. I just never seem to clean up. Have a great TT. :)
I feel so great that someone's desk is a little messier than mine...well, not now. Happy TT!
That sounds like my desk when I was cleaning it up because I quit (I quit because my husband got another job in another state and I was going to be able to be a stay at home mom...my messy desk had nothing to do with it). LOL!
Always nice to know what color your desk is...This sounds like my desk at work when I was working. We had to keep the top clear each day, so I had a drawer to shove everything in.

I just took a look at my desk -- among other things, there are three boxes of disks and manuals for operating systems from computers we sold more than three years ago. I am such a pack rat. I am going to clean my desk - but it is going to take more than a day. Way more.
I clean my desk about once every two weeks...but by the end of the day I clean it - you can't tell.

I'm impressed you found only 13 things for I fear my list would be over a hundred (and I'm still working on my 101 Things about Me for my 101st post and don't need THAT!!) LOL
Fun idea for a T-13.
Hugs and blessings,
I love cleaning out my desk because I find ridiculous stuff that i've been looking for.
And... i have NO clue what color my desk is.
I like #4 you have a fun way w/ words:>
