TIDY DESK
There! She’d done it, she had tidied her desk. Although why her boss had made her do it she
really didn’t know. She knew where
everything was. She might have to hunt
and rummage around a bit but she always found that needed piece of paper
eventually.
She didn’t go over to his desk and make it all messy so why
did he feel the need to have her tidy up her messy desk. He didn’t work at her desk. She did. She did all her work, on time, efficiently and
usually got praised for it. Micro management,
bah humbug.
I must have been told a thousand times to tidy my desk. And I just ignored them. :) Micro management indeed.
ReplyDeleteI hate those clean desk policies!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a personal tale. I do like a tidy desk, although I wouldn't force others to do the same.
ReplyDeleteMY messy desk makes HIM unable to concentrate. Who has ADD?
ReplyDeleteI love my desk extra clean. And I remind my subordinates to keep theirs clean as well. Guess they shouldn't take it too personally. But this was well written, though no sympathy from the devil. Cheers, Varad.

Making the act of tidying a desk interesting is quite a feat. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIndeed , it's how efficient and diligent we are that should matter / be the
ReplyDeletefocus rather than how tidy our work stations are! Nicely done, Sally!
Best wishes,

Dear Sally,
ReplyDeleteI used to have a sign on my desk that said, "Those who keep an immaculate desk will never know the joy of finding something they thought was irretrievably lost." Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Ha... nowadays we don't have a desk in the office, we can chose a free one (if there is one)
ReplyDeleteThis could have been written by one of my friends who works at a bank that does not allow anything personal on their desks and everything has to be put away in drawers at the end of the day. Bah!
ReplyDeleteMicro managers are the worst.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Some people just are that neat- freakish that a mess anywhere in their line of vision upsets their balance and derails their concentration. Yeah it's a pain but I guess you need to cut them some slack.
ReplyDeleteI think she's a bit cross! Neat take on the prompt.
