I think it;s a day to spend sleeping
I heard on the local morning show that today is National "clean off your desk day."

Yikes--that would take me a week! Maybe I should just go back to sleep!

In our new office, we're required to keep cleaner desks. Will come up on our performance reviews, which affect our pay increases.

Some state offices here call it "tidy coon" day, and it's usually a Friday.
I have too much desk space...

My wife's stepmother used to work at IBM. They have a "clean deak" policy there, or at least where she worked they did.

Suffice to say that I couldn't work at a place with a "clean desk" policy. Aside from the fascist aspect, I'm just a messy person, lol...

Yeah, I have about a dozen projects on my desk--each at different stages, my file cabinets are full.

Maybe I should make this clean out my file cabinets day?

Oh, well, not going to get very stressed about got work to do.

I probably should clean my desk. I do it when I've run out of real work to do, and the pile threatens to fall over into the floor. Then and only then, I clean off my desk.

The only way I could clean off my desk today is to go down, get a big box and just sweep it all off in one swoop.

A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind.

The V.P. who came up with the rule is generaly the worst offended. So far he's done well, but we've only been in the new building a month.

Sounds like you need a change, SG. Studies have proven that an "organized mess" is a sure trait of high intelligence. The worse the desk is, the high level of smarts.

SG, you're not changing your career just to get away from this company, are you? Because I bet there are other places where you can work.

Throw it all in the desk.
it is clean off your desk, yes? So hiding it would be acceptable.
