Clean Desk

I'm aware that blogging about this could get me into trouble at work! Every time there is a customer visit, we are asked to clean our desks and keep our workspace tidy. It reminds me of the times at school when a Inspector visited and we were instructed by the teachers to come dressed in spotless uniforms and polished shoes. It was such a made up environment. I believe such practices are not alien to our workplaces either. Whatever happened to being normal .. Anyways I think "a clean desk is the sign of a cluttered mind" - no offense and with due respect to people with clean desks reading this post! What do you think ?
