Paper clips, hand lotion, two business card cases, note pads, and business cards from book publishers.
Not terribly exciting. No weapons.

Hand lotion, deodorant, ibuprofen, vitamin C, gum, lip balm, t-shirt (for when the heat is too high), sweater and socks (for when the AC is too high), microwaveable heat pack (to ease the back pain from sitting at the desk), band-aids, candy, nuts, tea-bags
Also, pens, envelopes, white-out, staples, paperclips (for the job aps), expensive CV paper (also for job aps, even though i am now convinced the SCs don't care).
No weapons, alcohol on rare occasions - it never lasts long.

Not a whole lot. I feel like I haven't moved in yet. Despite all the posters all over the walls hiding the dismal "institutional blue" paint.

You know, there isn't a person on this forum who doubts that Pry is telling the truth.
In my desk the usual office crap plus:
-magnifying glass for deciphering old documents
-energy bars and those tuna fish lunch "kits"
-bottle of whiskey for late nights
-bottle of Baileys for spiking coffee
-hammer, nails, and picture hangers
-fertilizer spikes for my plants

Almost nothing is in there now. I have a stapler and some feminine products, but I had to clean out my desk last year.
You see, a family of mice discovered the protein bars in my desk drawer and ate them. Yes, they ate through the metallic cover on the bars and ate them. Then they dropped special things all over the inside and outside of my desk. So, I advise against the food you are keeping in there. Yes, this was my desk at work and not home.
I do still have several boxes of floppy disks with data on them that I don't have the heart to throw away, change, business cards, pictures, and some videos I show in classes. I also have some coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, and twisted pair that I use for samples to show in class.

I had the same problem. Mice discovered my granola bars. They nibbled little pieces of said granola bars. Mouse poop abounded. Untenured |
