What is an inappropriate thing to have on your desk?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! Perhaps it’s inappropriate for me to even ask you to display your answer in the comments below.

What is an inappropriate thing to have on your desk?
The answer to this question depends highly on where your desk is located. A private writing desk in the basement of a single dude’s home—display whatever you want. The desk nearest the elevator in an open office floor plan—maybe don’t display your March 1990 copy of Playboy. (This has as much to do with the content of the magazine as it does with the man on the cover: Donald Trump.) There are over 8 billion people on this planet. I’m a firm believer that anything you do will piss off at least one of them. A playful picture of your Pomeranian pooch might manifest the macabre memory of Martha’s Mastiff. That alliterative motivational quote on your desk may anger Susie—given her severe lisp—since no amount of motivation will allow her to ever pronounce her name correctly. So, I say screw trying to make everyone happy, all the time. It’s impossible even to make everyone indifferent, any of the time! That being said, Martha and Susie will both be ecstatic to see that your desk holds a stack of applications for the new career you’re desperately seeking.
