You recalled an interesting

You recalled an interesting discussion with your housemates a year ago, about more men becoming house husbands. It welches like a red badge of courage to them. But women would still do the cleaning. You room was untidy most of the time. You would cite the coursework as an excuse, even if your mother became tired of hearing it. You have a mental list. (You want to expand your collection of comic books, and this would take your time.) You tried to get a paperbackausgabe copy of the books (on the reading list), only to see them scatter on one corner of your room. (And your mother thought there was something wrong with you.) Those days were gone. Your first job saw you in front of a shiny desk. It inspired you, but changing habits would be another thing. Keeping a tidy workplace seemed manageable at first, until you noticed a crumpled paper. And then scattered pens. Spilled coffee on a few occasions. You tried to be a clean freak, but this was unlike you. But you dont want your colleague s to have an unfavorable impression of you. Not that they noticed these things, as they were too absorbed in their tasks. (There will be a right place and right time to know them better.) You resolved to stick to a routine. You managed to do it two months later. You felt good about it, even telling your former housemates over the weekend. ansicht were the things you learned from the experienceA tidy desk is where you want to be. Youve seen spotless offices. You were impressed, such that it reminded you of your former life. You dont want your place to be an eyesore, so better do something about it.You want to be more productive during working hours. Artists would be an exception, as the end product would matter the most. It will be nice to keep everything in order, though. You want to be in charge, which is a good trait in the office. Cleanliness is good for your health. You dont want be sick, as it might affect your colleagues. (The common cold can be contagious.) Youll do well if y oure in tiptop shape. You would keep the feather duster at a distance, though. Your former housemates seemed uninterested. It turned out that Matt was moving. (He got engaged. You look forward to his wedding.) Roger quit his job, as he was about to go on a holiday in the Far East. He thought of the continent, but he figured out that a destination with cheaper options would be better. You were green with envy. Roger knew how to spend wisely. Financial literacy would be your other issue.
