Apparently its been more than two-and-a-half years since I last had a completely sheveled desk. When it comes to horizontal office surfaces, my tidiness level remains an abysmal constant, but a lot of other things have changed during that period and my desk has evolved. Below are a few highlights of changes I pondered while sheveling.
- I’ve changed jobs twice since the last sheveling which means switching out work computers (I’ve gone through four work laptops) and using a Mac.
- Working from home used to be more rare and meetings were often on conference calls. Now most people in the tech industry work from home and meetings are video chats. So out with the phone and in with the external web cam.
- On top of her job, my wife increased her volunteer activity and also started a graduate school program–the nine-year-old printer couldn’t handler the increased load had had to be replaced.
- I really need to clean my desk more frequently.
