There seem to be three types office and cubicle dwellers in the workplace; 1)clean and organized, 2)unabashedly messy, 3)those that vacillate between 1 and 2.
This week I had two people comment on my work area. The first was a first-time visitor that complimented me for my messy area. He said there were too many clean people and that it was good to see someone like him. The second was my next-door neighbor who visits just about every day. She said I need to clean up my act.
This is a topic that occasionally causes me some angst. But who's really to say which is right? Does it really matter? Isn't practically everything on the computer anyway so is filing and organizing that important? A double whammy that people like me encounter is the constant bombardment of people dropping stuff in my space and all the mostly useless handouts received at meetings.
I'm going to continue as a vacillator for the time being but I think as I get older and care less and less what others think I may just become and unrepentant slob!
