I am Vindicated!

I got some of the best news of the new year today when I found out that I possess one of the true, incontrovertible marks of greatness.  I'll just let the New York Times indirectly sing my praises:

An anti-anticlutter movement is afoot, one that says yes to mess and urges you to embrace your disorder. Studies are piling up that show that messy desks are the vivid signatures of people with creative, limber minds (who reap higher salaries than those with neat “office landscapes”) and that messy closet owners are probably better parents and nicer and cooler than their tidier counterparts. It’s a movement that confirms what you have known, deep down, all along: really neat people are not avatars of the good life; they are humorless and inflexible prigs, and have way too much time on their hands.

Anyway, I've included an action shot of my "creative, limber mind" at work in my creativity studio, er office.

BTW - if you wonder why I am in cold gear, the heat is out in the office this week, it's a lot colder in there than outside so I'm dressing for warmth.

A big tip o' the hat for this good news from Justin Taylor who in turn is tipping his hat to Susan Wise Bauer.
