    OK, I had to giggle at "organizational tips" having hopped to this post from reading Legend's comments on worrying about your safety and hiding his head in shame.
    Not that I doubt your organizational prowess.

    From my workdesk (that I rarely share) one would not think I enjoy organizing.
