What's on your desk?
I've been office cleaning this week and still in the process. Thought it would be fun to share five things that I found on my desk that I either forgot about or have been looking for but couldn't find previously beneath the massive paper mounds.
1. From Joshua to Caiaphas: High Priests after the Exile by James VanderKam
ReplyDelete2. The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk radicalized the American Right by David Neiwert
3. Drupal 6 Search Engine Optimization by someone
So that's where that went...
my laptop, my SAD light and my cat encroaching on my keyboard. And my Greek synopsis and a small marble bowl of crystals. And a cup of liquorice tea. My desk is always tidy and clean, books are always put back. Bit obsessive about that sort of thing... I do end up with six books at a time my desk but only when I am reading them all synoptically!
ReplyDeleteI have a desk under this pile?!
ReplyDeletemostly mail, letters I should have opened a week ago, journals I haven't read yet, (quite a pile) and curiously 4 different Bibles: 1 King James (my grandfather's), one Revised Standard, (my college Bible required for class), and two New International Versions (one that the spine broke and I haven't even put it one the shelf yet after 2 years and one large print that I use for worship)
ReplyDeleteOH, and a printer and a few other computer attachments.
Like Steph, my desk is pretty clean. Other than computer periphals, a pad of paper and some pens, all I've got is a MacNeil paper on the Taurobolium in the fourth century. And that only because I just printed it. It'll get filed shortly.
ReplyDelete1. A bunch heavily annotated manuscripts (printouts of digital copies, that is)
ReplyDelete2. Hey, there's my copy of Till's Koptische Grammatik, been looking for it all over!
3. A lot of dvds (mostly dayjob-related stuff)
4. Dictionary of Maltese.
5. I Templari e la sindone di Cristo by Barbara Frale, of the Chinon Parchment fame.
1. I have the ANRW "Numenius" article too! (I'd wondered where that went)
ReplyDelete2. Fletcher-Louis' "All the Glory of Adam"
3. ANRW II 18.2 (I know that I was going to photocopy an article from this; which one ... )
4. Shapiro "O Tempora, O Mores" (That's right, I was going to photocopy an article from this for my students this past semester!)
5. Yates "Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition" (Now I have some light reading for Christmas break!)
