I will admit it; I work in a pretty sloppy fashion. While the “bills to be paid” and the “bills to be sent” always get top priority, other items in my business and personal life seem to get magically piled up around my desk and workspace, only to be addressed when desperation occurs.
Due to the small size of my house/office, many of my fiber optic and networking training tools, testers and products end up in the “Dave Cave,” a sloping closet underneath the steps that connect the first floor to the second. Because of the angled ceiling, stuff that gets shoved way back into the closet is rarely seen or used, as I can usually find a reason not to have to remove a whole bunch of stuff to get to some device I haven’t handled in three years.
