Do you remember these pictures of my messy office mate? My OCD tendencied self has had to live with this mess and it has really gotten to me. So I wasn't exactly thrilled when I found out that not only would I continue to have him has my office mate, that yet another person was going to be added to our office. The Messy One was ordered to clean up his mess in order to accommodate the new office mate. I wasn't very hopeful. Here's a series of pictures to remind you how bad the mess was.
I went to my office today to print up my syllabi and when I opened the door I was shocked. I couldn't believe my eyes!
I realize it still looks a bit messy, but it is really an improved mess. The boxes that are to the left of his desk and under the bookcases on the right are all labeled to be taken somewhere else, so they won't be there much longer, leaving even more space.
While he still has messy piles on the desk in the corner, you can see that he emptied out an entire bookshelf and most of the mess is up off the floor. There are still a couple of boxes under the corner desk, but he has names on them, which indicate that eventually the named people will be the recipients of the boxes.
The desk against the window was set up very nicely, so I assumed that these were the belongings of our new officemate. I was surprised that he and the Messy One would be basically sharing the same half of the office, leaving me with the remaining half all to myself. But I soon found out from my boss, that when the new officemate saw the state of things, even though the messiness is much improved. He asked to be placed in someone elses office.....and my boss agreed. So even though I still have to share the office with the Messy One, I'm going to have a lot more space, so much so that I'm thinking of buying a small rug to put on my side of the office to warm things up a bit. What more could a girl want, a little clean space where she can put a rug. I'm feeling very lucky today; maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.
