New research has shown that a messy desk is actually a sign of a more productive person. I don't know whether this photo reveals my immense level of productivity or my inability to keep a clean house. There is also the chance that it merely reveals a level of craziness that cannot be paralleled outside academia.
But, somehow I couldn't capture the whole mess as it exends onto the floor, the chair next to me, and the living room. I think the only saving grace is that my "desk" is also my dining room table.
Please note that the bottles of wine are full and in a really beautiful wine rack, which is not visisble because of the piles of papers. I've not resorted to leaving empty wine bottles in the midst of my research, yet.

That's pretty impressive. I know I'm convinced you're making progress. Good for you; can't say the same for myself. Don't lose that momentum!
I find that I work much better when there are empty wine bottles on my desk.
Do you think that's a problem?
a picture of the desk my husband and i share would reveal empty beer cans, empty bottles, and wine glasses at various stages of crustiness. a feat we are simultaneously proud and ashamed of...
