If a disordered desk signifies a disordered mind, what does an empty desk signify?

RESIZE: AAA

Don’t take this too seriously. It’s just a bit of fun.

William F. Buckley’s Desk…

And Nat Hentoff’s Desk…

And Albert Einstein’s Desk…

And Barack Obama’s Desk…

Have a better caption than the one I put in the title? Let’s have a caption contest in the comments.

“A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind.”

The images of that thing are on the web somewhere, but I have a feeling most people here at RS would like this one better – It’s a book:

I guess you were talking about the little sign to the left of this monitor.

Funny…

But it also had a line drawing of a desk with a freaked out guy, spread-eagled on the desktop.

She had another small sign too:

“I’m not fat, I’m just short for my weight.”

…from government redistribution, to see that I possess the same cleanliness characteristics as William F Buckley. “Lunch receipts? They’re in the tall pile, 3rd from the left on the bookshelf.” This also gives me a good excuse to leave it that way after I file.
streetwise

there’s no vacation planner on it, and the golf magazines have been filed away.

A clean desk is a sign that no research is going on… and by extension, that it’s all just being phoned in at this point…

Those look cleaner than my room..

I am amazed at all the books and junk that collects, which reminds me I need to find a few books I need to read.

I clean mine up every once in a while.

Only one (bloody expensive) thing to lose, instead of stacks and stacks to shelve.

Buckley is in a sweater and shorts, can’t see the shoes but bet they are Docksiders…The last friend I had to visit my office said “Gad, man”. Now I feel better.

Otherwise dogs get in or something falls out.

If a disordered desk signifies a disordered mind, then an empty desk signifies a coming job opening.

Only his clothes do.

And so that’s what is meant by an empty suit.
