10 things on my desk

[mckitterick]

All right, seeing that my friends are doing this, I figured I oughter, too:

keys	to let myself back into the office after disposing of Bowel-Rogs or filling next item
1-qt. white-and-red plastic mug bearing the legend, "Crimson Cafe"	for filling with sodee-pop to remain awake
empty Tupperware container with flip-opening lid bearing a relief-sculpture of a chowin' monkey	for filling with raisins, nuts, and choco-chips
clip-on watch	hangs from a belt-loop to keep track of time during lectures
heaps of papers, sorted into three piles	1) tech-writing notes (job) 2) teaching materials 3) misc. paper I'll prolly end up throwing away
framed photo of Kij and me on the Poulsbo docks	for the warm feeling you only get from seeing your loved one
framed photo of Sid and Tatsuko	see above
pile of science-fiction novels	to reference, as I report my readings re: the Campbell Award
gum-dispenser in the shape of a rocketship with a spacesuit-clad Curious George standing beside it	for smiles, and sometimes gum
three floppy disks	1) photos of the Karmann Ghia to post on eBay 2) photos of our newest animals 3) for transporting my current chapter home
