or are they just homeless?

Glasses on desk with noteThe Post-It note stuck on the glasses is funny, but actually it's the precision with which everything is arranged that really struck me.

A very tidy person placed the glasses perpendicular to the white note pad and stuck the yellow note exactly parallel to it. The remote for the projector and the stapler are neatly placed together parallel to the note pad and perpendicular to the edge of the desk.

This desk is in a classroom that my department—Visual Communication and Design—shares with Mechanical Engineering classes. I'm pretty sure the teacher who put the note there was an engineer. My desk gets arranged that neatly once a year, if I'm lucky.

At home my secondary work table has now gone through two summer vacations without being cleaned off. When May rolls around I'm sure I'll again vow to start the summer right by clearing everything off. But I'm not going to hold my breath until it happens.
