msbelle, I am seriously considering paying you to come up and help me pack up my house. I am paralyzed with indecision as to what to keep and what to get rid of.

They are not the arbiters of the be-all and end-all definition of organization. Their reality is not everyone else's. It is THEIR failing, not yours, in this job. You can only work with what you're given. Stop being so harsh on my friend.

OHHHH! trip to DC area. that would be fun. I wish there was a 3 day weekend soon.

What is your timetable?

EMAIL TO ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW!!!!! HELL YEAH, MFs!!!

And now we do the dance of joy.

OK, must get through a few stupid time sensitive things here and go make that call.

Yeah, msbelle!

Is this one of the internal positions, msbelle?

Fuck yeah, msbelle! That's fabulous!

I've given myself no more than 6 months to get out, regardless if I have a new job or not. Even if I get a job tomorrow, there's work that needs to be done to make it rentable.

No it is an external one.

If I were intending to move, the first thing I'd do is rent a nearby storage unit and start boxing up all my books, and move out all the stuff in boxes from the cellar. And then put the emptied bookcases in storage. That would probably free up a shit-ton of room....

Fish AND popcorn should not be allowed in communal microwaves.

I did work somewhere where popcorn was officially and explicitly not allowed.

I am trying to focus on being more organised, and overtly more organised, myself. But the face of msbelle I know is an organised one, that's for sure.

The top of my desk (both of them, really) looks like somebody killed the paper blob there. Yet I know where everything is in the apparently random stacks of paper, and having stuff near at hand like that is essential to me keeping on top of managing the art for my current project. And since I'm releasing material on time without anything going missing, and despite the client getting info to me later than promised, I'd say the system works.
