I was planning to wait until next National Clean Your Desk Day (10 January 2022), but it had been 16 months since I last did a proper desk “sheveling” and I realized it was time.
As always, it was a bit of an adventure and also a trip down memory lane. Here are some things I found:
- Weed eater line (now in the shed)
- New health, dental, and vision insurance cards (insurance changed with the new job–cards now in wallet)
- Various receipts (now recorded and filed)
- Covid vaccination card (I knew it was somewhere on the desk)
- Parts of a microscope from a Saturday Academy gala
- Two small screwdriver sets
- A one year anniversary card from Circle (card was from April)
- 26 pages of notes from my previous job
- My solution for a Mind Your Decisions problem (I solved it)
- Various swag from gopuff (my new employer)
- Instructions for my outdoor grill (a Father’s day present)
- 9 guitar picks
- Precision knife set (like x-acto) that I couldn’t find last month
- Diagrams, rosters, etc. for the fall SWSC Microsoccer Jamboree
- Plastic Easter egg
- Small, wooded treasure chest filled with gold and silver candy
- A :(){:|:&};: mug from a friend at Data Machines
- Root beer and ginger beer bottle caps
- R2D2 Happy Meal toy
- Two Raspberry Pis and an ESP8266
For extra credit I updated the printer firmware.
