<p><strong>(Or, should I say… Hall of <em>Shame</em>?)<a href="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image00210.jpg"><em> </em></a><a href="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image00211.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0px;" title="clip_image002" src="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image002_thumb7.jpg" border="0" alt="clip_image002" hspace="12" width="240" height="170" align="right" /></a></strong></p>
<p>Well, well, well. I’m feeling rather chipper these days. Why? Because I thought my desk was the messiest ever and I was feeling a bit ashamed.</p>
<p>Then I got a photo last week that showed the horrendous state of my accountant’s desk and the sight of it caused my chin to lift a little off my chest.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-712" title="lynn12" src="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/lynn12.jpg" alt="lynn12" width="450" height="338" /></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image0044.jpg"><img class="alignleft" style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0px;" title="clip_image004" src="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image004_thumb4.jpg" border="0" alt="clip_image004" hspace="12" width="240" height="207" align="right" /></a>This week, after receiving some more very competitive photos, I now have a bounce in my step and am able to maintain eye contact for an indefinite length of time.</p>
<p>It’s kind of hard to see, but here the desk of STAPLES’ $200 gift card winner, Pam T, from Belleville, Ontario. That money would be well spent on some packing cartons!</p>
<p><a href="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image0061.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0px;" title="clip_image006" src="http://blogstaples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clip_image006_thumb1.jpg" border="0" alt="clip_image006" hspace="12" width="240" height="180" align="left" /></a>And this workspace of xxx repute belongs to STAPLES’ $100 gift card winner, Steve B of Guelph. P.S. Is that a <em>baseball bat</em> leaning up against the file drawers? I don’t think I speak for myself alone when I say, NOT A GOOD IDEA, Steve—especially if it’s within easy reach of your computer monitor on one of <em>those</em> days!</p>
<p><strong>Come on, folks—make my Friday! <a href="mailto:major93but@photos.flickr.com">Send</a> me more icky photos!</strong></p>
