Things to do in the credit crunch
This is the time of year when I start thinking about tidying up my desk. I think for the last couple of years I have thought about it in an abstract sort of way, which, while indicating some positive force of renewal and rebirth associated with the turn of the year, didn’t have enough force to actually make me do anything. But this year will be different. Here us a picture of my desk before. Let me assure you that this is not some comedy setup - some exaggerated posturing for effect. This is this. It has reached a stage where I am actually embarrassed by it. There are many potential sources of embarrassment, which I thought about starting to list but then thought that it might trigger some unfortunate memories, so I won’t. Suffice to say that of all the potential sources of embarrassment, I only have personal experience of some of them. Some might say that is still an unfeasibly large number, but certainly not me. Anyway, the point is that I am now embarrassed by a desk, which is possibly a first.
So I have laid down my intentions in print and I will now retire to consider the ticking time bomb I have ill-advisedly thrown into the ether.
Don’t bother me, I’m busy.
