Part of what I struggle with at work is that my main desk is also my main bench at the moment. I do my soldering and component work in my lab, but when I'm programming I need to be by my computer. So, then I need to work at my desk. Then I need test equipment at my desk. And jumpers, spare parts, extra chips, etc. And, since this is my regular desk as well, I also have tons of paperwork, trade journals, sample parts, prototypes and other things slowly accumulating. It's a bit of a problem, my boss doesn't like anyone having a messier desk than him, and I'm the only one that can accomplish that! I'd like to put in another bench area so that I can keep the projects off my main desk, but I don't think I have enough space in the room.
