Spookyrach is perpetuating a “what’s on your desk?” meme. I think it’s a swell meme along the lines of the “here’s a picture of my workspace” quasi-meme from some time ago. That earlier meme is how I found Denise, which was a happy occurrence.
I’m all about participating in the current fun, but I have no desk. Sure, I own a desk; it’s in our “office” but I don’t use it nor do I have anything on it… except a bunch of change, a pen, and two different sets of keys.
So, instead, here is a picture of my portable desk, handmade by my father-in-law.
Clockwise from left*.

Timex watch. I’ve actually gone for over five years without losing this one.

What’s on your desk?

I remember this Meme – Interesting to see what is on your portable desk. Since I’ve already done it, I think I’ll just content myself with reading yours!

I want one of those desks! Your chair looks a lot like mine, so the desk would fit perfectly. Do you need measurements or anything? When can I expect delivery?

Sophisticated? Thanks m_n, though I’m not sure how you landed on sophisticated when flying around in search of an adjective to describe the thing.

Dunno man. Maybe it is the colour of the wood and the shiny metallic stuff on it.

Yes, shiny metallic stuff is nice.

“..handmade by my father-in-law…”
In the famous (and all too frequently quoted) owrds of Sally Field, He must like you. He must really like you. You must spend half the time rubbing the wood and the other half actually using it as a desk.
