Kenina-Chan wanted before and after photos of my desk but sadly it did not occur to me to take a before photo so instead I offer you some statistics:
Hours spent cleaning the desk1: 12
Weight of paper to be recycled: 5 kilos (11 pounds)
Weight of garbage: 0.9 kilos (2 pounds)
Number of dead things discovered: classified
Breaks taken during cleaning: lots2
Time spent working at desk since cleaning: 03
And here is a photo of the recycling and garbage removed from the desk during cleaning:

I may never work again.
