Day 31: Office Desk

A mishmash of important documents and notes - some pristeen and stapled, some older and crumpled. Half a box of Quality Street Matchmakers - 4 months out of date. An Amazon package, unopened. Seasons 1-4 of the X-men cartoon on DVD; eight cases in total, stacked akwardly like a precarious game of Jenga. A single red Bakugan. A pen holder, with various sections; mostly empty - aside from a handful of coppers in the back section. I don't know who put them there - it wasn't me. A tiny piece of purple chalk sits just beside this - too worn down to be of use. A box of dorset cereal - the 'simply delicious muesli' variant. 7/10. A paracetemol box - empty, aside from the instruction leaflet that came in the box (I'll put that in the bin now, actually).

A Dell monitor, sat atop two packs of A4 paper - partly to improve my viewing angle, partly so I can dip my head and avoid becoming distracted by stuff going on behind it. Attached to the monitor is a sheet of paper, folded in half, listing the names, countries, and responsibilities of the main people I deal with on a daily basis, as well as a post it note that simply says OZ in big red letters, to remind me not to forget about Australia. Stuck to the top of my monitor is a tiny die-cast model of princess leia - a secret santa gift recieved last year. It came with a pack of superhero Top Trumps, but i've no idea what happened to them. The top of my monitor also has a cutting from a magazine that simply says : "HEY SON! THAT'S RAD!". Six budget Wii games.

A stylophone; still boxed, no batteries. A fistful of payslips. Four official Nintendo GBA connector cables. A selection of booklets that came in the box with my iPhone. A Natwest card reader. Three packs of Trebor extra strong mints - one half finished. Two partially depleted blister packs of paracetemol (now without a box). A 2010 Argos catalogue; one page ripped out, and kept in wallet. A 'No Fear' branded full face balaclava. An empty bag of swedish sweets called 'Polly'. A tub of Bryllcreem wax. A radiator key. A Panasonic KX-T7665 phone - the handset has a sticker on it depicting the evil train from Zelda: Spirit Tracks. About 15 copies of MCV - many unopened.

A box of value brand ibuprofen. Two cigarette filters in their plastic tube - one end twisted off. A wrapper for an Australian sweet called 'Fantales'. A Street Fighter music collection that came free with PSM3. A Black and Red notebook. A Dell keyboard with multimedia buttons i'll never use. A Dell mouse with the handy side buttons that let you go back and forward through pages. A bowl of chicken noodle laksa soup: Lunch in progress.Two white mugs, branded with the FrankPR logo - one filled with chilled water from the cooler, the other contains a sludge sediment from this morning's coffee.

  1. You won't believe the legal ball-ache that Street Fighter CD created. We had to negotiate with Capcom Japan to get the rights, which took FOREVER and more paperwork than you can fathom. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!
