    Right now there is a box of Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Brownies, 2 packs of Sweet n Low, and my Kindle Fire...also client files, that even though I have them all electronically filed I can't seem to part with!

    I'm working on growing a cup garden which consists of water cups, coffee mugs, and to-go coffee cups... and I collect laptop power cords for some weird reason.

    Water. A big giant bottle that looks like a Sparkletts bottle with a sport top on it, that I can still never remember to drink. AFter a couple days, I dump it and refill it in case the old water got bacteria in it, and then let that one sit until I dump it and refill it again.

    Water bottles usually. Sometimes I'm too lazy to throw them away.

    Me too! I swear I'm going to recycle them at some point in time...

    I don't work so I don't have a desk. I DO however collect spiral notebooks. I'm a list maker... I'm not kidding when I say I have 30 of them!! They are SO cute though!! I don't ever have the plain ones, only the cute ones with flowers or birds... They make me happy! Oh and chapstick. Cherry and Mint are my favorites with a couple originals thrown in. I have at least one with me at all times- last time I checked there were 5 with me. It was a random checkpoint... hahahaha!

    Post-its and pens. It's a bit ridiculous, really.

    I seem to collect lids to water bottles & diet coke bottles. I don't know why either. I usually throw away 4 or 5 of them at a time.

    Post its.

    Keys. (Sometimes I need to get into a house and having a load of different keys increases the odds that I will get lucky and open the door. Also, now I sound like a burgler.)

    Pop can tabs. I drop them off at the school periodically.

    Sharpie pens of all varieties.

    Blue elastics, lots and lots of blue elastics. They just keep coming in with the mail and I just keep putting them in the drawer. It is an entire drawer full. I now have started an making an elastic ball.

    i clean my desk about every 2-3 days bc i share with a co-worker, who is a major hoarder and i start to feel closterphobic if my stuff isnt organized lol!!

    but i used to shove everything in my file cabinet and when i cleaned it out i found; candy, papers, small toys (motivational things we use for agents on the call floor) and other junk i cant remember it all lol

    Is it weird that after 6 months of unemployment I no longer remember what I used to hoard at my desk. I know there was a lot of paper, but I can't really picture it anymore!
