TWQ: Around My Computer

TWQ (The Weekend Question) is looking at what is right in front of you: your computer.

What items are around the computer that you work on?

My answers are:

1: Speakers eiether side of the panoramic screen, with a bass box underneath.

2: Garfield desk calendar underneath.

3: New Yorker desk calendar in front of speakers

4: Compter system on floor to my right.

5: Useless remote control for computer.

Now it's over to you...

It's a good thing that I tidied up or else this may have been a very very long list ... Michelle sent me to tell you that there is:

1. my printer and cables
2. sewing machine (as this is being converted from a 'work space' to a creative space.
3. set of embroidery scissors
4. a dusting cloth
5. a promo booklet from a DVD
6. DVD with logo etc on it that belongs to a friend whom I'm doing some graphic work for.
7. my sewing box
8. the letter to send to the Sheriff regarding my inability to sit for jury duty! (at least that's a vaguely interesting one!

This would be far more interesting when I have finished renovating this space. Tomorrow I will be able to add brand new funky curtain to the list!!

I work off a laptop and use a small typing table to the side of my desk. There is a phone on the table and a directory, and a wall in front of me with plaques and certificates...(why don't I move those and put pictures here?)

Well, I have a laptop that I basically just set in my ...lap! I'm in my living room, though, sitting on my couch, usually with the tv going in the background, and a coffee table in front of me.

susan said...

Have laptop, will travel. Though I'm usually on the sofa, so it's mug of tea or coffee, foot stool, books, knitting, on and at least one cat!

What you don't use any of those on a computer?

A cat is an essential computer tool as far as my cats are concerned!

Does that suffice? LOL!!

Hugs Jean-Luc!

Linda said...

Great Googly Moogly! I almost missed the TWQ!

I'm sitting at "Amanda's" computer at the moment and she has this desk covered with things she uses for her artwork -

There's a tablet for computerized drawing
A webcam
A box of crayons
A box of colored pencils
Some hot pink duct tape
Pencil shavings in an empty soda bottle
Scissors
White-out
A digital camera
And more stuff than you can shake a stick at!

She really needs to take the time to clean this mess up!
