A little premature spring cleaning? ;^)

Nice.

I refuse to buy that plastic shelf crap - even as a temp. solution, I can't 
stand it...

I plan on attacking my office this week - it got so bad, I bought a wood 
bookcase last week, and it is currently on it's side, blocking all access to 
the desks/printers in the office. To put the bookcase in, I have to pull a 
ton of stuff out of the office first, and then I'll probably pitch some, 
which means I'll have more room so I can get more stuff...
