Gratuitous Pre-Vacation Posting

There is something very gratifying when, having finally summoned the energy to start cleaning up your desk before vacation, you suddenly realize that about three quarters of the papers strewn across it are outdated drafts and duplicates and can be chucked unceremoniously.

Of course, you want to be careful about the timing of such an exercise, because once you get done, your desk may be bare enough to give somebody the idea that you don't have enough work on your plate, not an idea you want to implant with one foot already metaphorically out the door.
