About a year ago my desk was piled with papers and my boss came in and lectured me that my messy desk signified I didn't know how to manage my time or my workload and didn't know how to delegate.
I filed everything in boxes and drawers and ever since I've operated with a clean desk. I didn't do anything different other than file some papers away, but in his mind I suddenly became the model employee of time and people management! Duh!
That was great until yesterday when he came in and looked at my clean desk and said "geez, it looks like you don't have anything to do, well I can fix that". Fuck me!
