Project: ORGANIZE!!

So when we moved our office office into a home office in March, we were moving everything over the weekend, and basically shoved everything either in the garage or in the office. The garage is a project for another day, but the office mess is driving me nuts.

I'm not an organized person by nature, but I SO enjoy it when everything is in it's place. BEFORE we moved the office, we had put the treadmill and stairstepper in here because there's a TV (which makes working out go SO much faster.) Needless to say, these have now been rendered useless as they currently serve as my conference table/ shelves/ filing system/ TO DO pile.



Oh, and my filing cabinet? My filing cabinet can currently be found under a client sample display, banner and stack of stuff which NEEDS to filed within said files (which are technically USPS Mail bins) behind the trashcans.



See? Oh, you don't?? That's (again) because the files are located NOT in a filing cabinet, but in USPS mail bins under/ behind other crap. Where I can't easily access them. So crap is piling up.

My desk, you ask? Weee-eeellll, shall we take a look??



The desk would be that wooden piece of furniture under all the papers/ samples/ non-functioning dual monitor system/ more client displays and various other necessities. Ahem.

Well, what it sounds like I need is some storage. How about a book case?? That would certainly be helpful....



Maybe something along these lines?? No?? This would be the matching bookcase to this office suite that is currently packed to the gills with coding books. Not mine. My sweet husband's.

Want to play a game?? Okay. In the above pictures, see how many computer monitors you can spot.... How about actual computers? How about printers??

How about this-- leave your answers in the comments section of this post, and the winner will get the fanTAStic prize of getting to assist in organizing this behemoth mess...

No??? That's not technically a prize worth winning? Ha. Where is Monica Gellar Bing when you need her?? Okay. Let's see what you got right.

Computer monitors in above photo: 3

BONUS-- Can you guess how many ADDITIONAL monitors we have in the rest of the house, not counting laptops?

Actual computers in the above photo: 4 (Bet you didn't get that one right. You probably missed the file server and TiVo computer which you can barely see behind the computer on the floor to the right of the desk...)

Printers visible in the above photo: 3 (But if we're getting technical, there's ANOTHER printer located directly behind the closet doors to the right of said 3 printers...)

Help. I told Christy I would pay her with love and brownies if she wanted to help organize the office. (She's got potentially the most organized home of all of my pals.) Well, Christy, hopefully you're being flooded with inspiration as you read this... Right??

Argh.
