I heart calendars

I saw one at the mall yesterday (yes, I went to the mall the Friday after Thanksgiving. What? you didn't?) that is apparently of baseball fields all over the US shaped like a baseball diamond (which isn't really a diamond, but OK). I didn't stop to look at it(time waster) but I imagine some luck person is just gonna love it!

Otherwise though, I love calendars, filofaxes, datebooks, palm pilots, outlook(less so thought bc that's a work thing), etc, etc, etc...so this article from the WSJ was very interesting.

Yeah, I know a Rolodex isn't a calendar but it's a organizational system that I can relate to. Plus, it's spins, whoopie. My old hag of a boss had one and we were always in trouble when we cldn't find the info she needed IMMEDIATELY. I think she had 3-4 actually.

Read the article at the link above and make sure to look at the pix of the old/original versions of the blackberry and palm.

My business cards are in two file boxes w/file separators labels things like food, doctors, friends, family, shops, membership/punchy cards, etc...For some reason that I don't understand and can't stand A refuses to use the filing system and leaves his business cards all over his side of the desk! Why do I care if it's his side of the desk? Even if it is a big desk? It's still my space too and I don't leave my...things, I don't even know what those things cld be since he wldn't care, but I don't leave them all over the place in his area. ARG! So, compartmentalizing is KEY! In work, life and on the top (and OF COURSE the inside) of your desk.

Don't worry, A's "pile of crap" is important to him and therefore important to me. Being married is FUN.

PS. I think my parents got it right. Her desk is upstairs (in fact the exact same desk A and I have in our apt) and his desk is downstairs. Well, she has one upstairs and downstairs and he has...well they have separate computers.
