I used to work in an office with about 60 people. There was a lunch area. People brought in food from the lunch places around, and when there were visitors or late hours, pizzas or Chinese take-out was brought in. A lot of this stuff came with condiment packets, of course.

Someone designated a counter drawer, and the condiments accumulated there in a big pile. The pile just kept growing.

This offended me. I got some small boxes, and sorted out the accumulation. A few weeks later, I looked in the drawer, and half of the accumulation had been used up.

Victory!

I regarded my last pre-retirement office setting as temporary even though I was there for 12 years. So no personal photos, art postcards and the stuff in the pix you posted. I'll admit to one Dilbert calendar on my desk and perhaps a wall calendar, but that was pretty much all.

Work-related clutter was another story. About twice a year it got so gawdawful that I had to break down and actually tidy it up.

So much for the paperless office, huh Michael?
