You're crazy alright, crazy genius for taking advantage of all the free chocolate and candy you get working at a candy factory. Oh, and you need to clean up your desk.

hey! it's like my desk, except i accumulate bottles of water instead of diet coke, files instead of bags of candy & chocolate, and more files and other papers instead of labels & ipods.

at least i have my post-its to keep me company.

As the winner of the 'Anti-water pistol' award at work and as a certified techie, I would like to point out all the potential hazards that you impose to your computer.
1) Chocolate - Chocolate melts. If this gets on your keyboard, it may cause problems with the little hinges under each button, causing your buttons to stick or possibly shorting out the circuit board.
2) Open soda cans - As i explained to my employees, water and electricity don't mix. Soda is water based. Also, there are salts in soda. Soda could spill on your keyboard, monitor, or tower. Besides the stickiness, any kind of water can short a motherboard, PCI card, or fan motor. THINK OF THE COMPUTER !!!!
3) Stacking papers under the keyboard cause the balance of the keyboard to shift and might cause the angle tabs in the back to break. (WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE NOT CARE ABOUT THE KEYBOARD !!!) Have you ever tried to operate your computer WITHOUT a keyboard ?!?! I have. You'll be sorry when your keyboard doesn't function and you have to do everything with your mouse only.

There are many, many more infractions of computer etiquette and safety that are displayed.

PLEASE THINK OF YOUR COMPUTER'S SAFETY!!! The computer is not a toy! It is a sophisticated piece of integrated components, precisely configured for optimal performance. Be nice to your computer !!!!!!



...oh, and you could get carpal tunnel from trying to reaching around all that stuff.

Two points:
1 - It's NOT a computer Jay. It's only a PC. Now if it were a Mac, I'd probably add to your list of etiquette rules.
2 - You obviously need to drink more Diet Coke. The clarity that comes with mass quantities of Diet Coke is amazing.

Point of Order:
Webster defines a computer as: one that computes; specifically : a programmable usually electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data.

MAC's fall under this category, as well as PC's, TI & HP calculators, Lt. Commander Data, and your son's gameboy.

Therefore, this list applies to both MAC and PC's. If you want to get into the MAC vs. PC debate, I can and will.

However, I am more interested in YOUR list of computer etiquette. I've found some doozies (Webster:an extraordinary one of its kind).

1) Computer Etiquette
2) Proper Computer Posture
3) Email Etiquette
4) And for your enjoyment, When you DON'T follow etiquette

My desk also has the same type of accumulation. But I get to clear that baby off in 2.5 days and just let the dust pile up until September!! Woohoo!!
