I couldn't stand to not have a desk. It's usually a complete mess, but I dread to think where all the clutter would go otherwise! Even when I'm using a laptop, I use it on a desk as I find it more comfortable. I'd post a picture if my connection would allow it, but currently on it are a lot of post cards, my phone, computer monitor, two speakers, lots of post-it stickers, my watch, a case for another watch, some postage stamps, a little plastic Rancor and two containers of Tipex.
