My Desk Today

Filing card box full of telephone numbers that probably don’t exist any more.
Two lever arch files full of useful stuff.
Plate of Jammy Dodgers squiggling around shouting ‘eat us, eat us’ (must move those later).
Stapler looking rather bored.
Heavy duty hole punch, looking quite macho and threatening (especially if you’re a piece of paper).
Bone china cup and saucer, looking too refined for a dishwasher.
Unwanted raffle prize (it wasn’t what it said it was on the box).
Sellotape dispenser in dull grey.
Tub of drawing pins looking spiteful.
Scissors lying atop an envelope with an incorrect address on it(I've always had an urge to find an excuse to use 'atop').
Glass with a film of orange juice across the bottom.
Telephone with knotted cable, letter from a boring, moany person (resist the temptation to reply,‘Get a life’).
Office diary open at October 31st (meaning?).
List of names under the wrong headings, spiral bound notebook with more doodles than notes in it, rubber with worn out ends and black scummy stuff round them, pencil that needs sharpening when I can find the sharpener.
Overflowing in-trays, black and menacing computer crouching, ready to pounce.
Jammy Dodgers shouting ‘eat me’,
Jammy Dodgers shouting ‘eat me’,
Jammy Dodgers shouting ‘eat me’.
