You have almost nothing on that Boeing engineer. You are off to a good start though.

But, whereas I had previously considered myself working amongst peers on this forum, I can tell you that from the evidence provided thus far, you're all amateurs when it comes to messy offices. Contact me for admittance to the major leagues:

You have a couple of filing cabinets, at least that a start at getting organized.

Sorry Dan...... Your book case is still WAY too tidy. I think I'm still a potential contender, but I STILL can't find my stupid CAMERA. You have me beat as a fire hazard though, with the space heater in play.......

Imagine too.... I have to decide WHICH mess to start looking through because I work a lot in the office and a lot in the field. So, did I leave that in the piles of stuff in the OFFICE or is it maybe in my TRUCK?

Mess is not lack of order- it's a kind of order

Finally, the real reason why I keep my desk clean and tidy.... =P



OCD doesn't help either.

5S!!!
it's all the rage these days

In our office "It's been 5S'd" is code for "something useful that was laying around and someone threw in the skip/dumpster*" especially, if it had been there, not harming anyone for years, only to be dumped a week before it was finally needed.

My last company would throw away stock if it hadn't been sold in two years. (It wasn't called 5S there though, some **** about Capital Employed) Apparently someone in a parallel reality (i.e. an accountant) worked out that, despite being bought and paid for X years ago, it was costing money to have it sat on the shelf in case one of our customers needed it for their machine.
