The horror! The horror!

As part of my job I often have to go crawling under desks used by journalists, some of them used by journalists 24 hours a day.

Here are some of the things I’ve recently found in such places:

* 53p in change
* 3 Wacom graphics tablets, covered in a thick layer of grease and dust
* 2 pens for said graphics tablets
* 17 biros
* 3 pencils
* 5 post-it notes containing once-important phone messages
* fluff
* dirty knives, forks and spoons, encrusted with ancient and decaying foodstuffs
* a hair-grip
* 2 remote controls for televsions or set-top boxes

    Why don’t you photograph them and start a Flickr group to put them in? I bet you’d end up with quite a lot.

    I think they have rules against that kind of thing on Flickr.

    Also, forgot to add:

    * 2 cassettes
    * half a dozen minidiscs
    * 7 CD-R discs
