Don't go there DanB...I don't think he's talking about New Scientist... ;o)

Hmmm well I personally get rather excited reading the new edition of Nature on a thursday. But not visibly so...

Geek

On my desk: pens, papers I really should read but some how manage not to, a picture of my girlfriend, computer, pictures of friends and family (including one year old nephew) and a stuffed Mr Happy to keep me smiling :-) No magazines though...

I share a small office with 2 Postdocs (who are never here). In this desk is an array of papers, pens, computers, coffee mugs (not mine!) and a funny clock thingy! On my main desk (where I rarely sit) are post-it notes everywhere, more papers and folders, an old PC that has been dumped, a single pen (black!), a picture of the missus and a list of phone numbers.

Now if it's my home study, that's a different story altogether...

Aggghhhh another nephew photo. I'm sensing a trend. And who you calling a geek Stu... oh, yeah, I am. Ooops.

I see I'm going to have to start a niece trend here as mine is very cute and says the cutest things! She's 3 and knows exactly what to say to pull the strings! Tweak! Tweak! I've got loads of her pics on my home computer!

As for my desk it's still quite efficient looking (no silly things - give it time - not been here that long - have to keep up pretence) so there is stationery and some cutlery in a mug, a stationery tower, a box of tissues, tons of papers (mostly to be read), paper, a ruler, folders, post it notes (essential!! run my life on them!!) and of course a very nice computer and a very cool mouse mat!
