From long before computer days:
"A neat desk is the sign of a weak mind"
Right now: 3 workstations, a large Dell server being set up for a client, 2 scanners, 1 printer, 2 UPS units, 3 routers, 2 switches and wiring that looks like a drunk spider did it. Oh yeah, a foot switch (connected to USB hub) and a foot massage thingie.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I have two desks.
At work. Clear. The entire top is cleared at least once a day. My monitors, keyboard and mouse are pretty much all that is there. oh and a notepad for writing.
At home - Well like you, the dear wife will not even go in there. There is so much crap piled everywhere on that desk. At least one or two laptops in some state of repair. Pictures of things. Toys to play with. Hotwheels mostly. But I have some wind up robots as well. and other things. Knives to sharpen. Papers to do something with. etc...
I work from home about 50% of the time. so I am not sure why I am like this.

I am VERY organized.
Almost OCD organized, everything's always in the exact same spot, stuff is alphabetic, labels to the front, in a single line, etc.
However, that is exactly my desk

My office area is right next to her nest the sofa, though she is jus as messy as me so she doesn't complain much.
Herself once stated, loud and lcearly (and I regret non having recorded her) "I think I brought chaos to your life".

Looking at all of the responses I have received so far, I am extremely happy to find that I am not the only one.
Thank you all for confirming my feelings about people in our profession, that work hard.
Things could always get worse. And usually do at the most inopportune times.

This is probably a looooong shot, but I'll ask anyway:
As most of you are probably aware, you can take a look at the .Net code at Reference Source[^]
Is there a similar place for the C# compiler?

I think it actually might be.

One is glad to be of service.

I need to record time spent on a specific project. I'm not working continuously on the project, but put in an hour here, five minutes there etc, and it's becoming quite tedious writing down all the time spent and adding it together.
So I'm looking for a simple stopwatch application. Plenty of those around, with nice GUIs, floating on top windows (which I don't want in this case, but I can see why some people would think it's nice) etc, but all I've find is missing the feature I want the most:
I want to be able to start and stop it by clicking its icon in the system tray so that I don't have to spend additional time locating the GUI window to start and stop it.
Anybody has any suggestions?
And to anticipate the obvious reply: Yes, I COULD roll my own in a matter of hours, but why would I want to spend even a couple of hours reinventing something that already exists?
Apart from that, I know myself too well: If I made my own application, I would spend hours and hours improving, polishing, tweaking, etc. Time that could be well spend doing the real task instead....

If it existed... wouldn't you have found it already?
Additionally... cool idea for a pet project for someone with spare time.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, but spare time is hard to come by...
