Rose, that's just exactly why I posted it that way. If we have the "email me" option on our member page, then, anyone can use that to shoot us an email. Eileen can change her message settings to that if she wishes. If you read ideefix' comment about emails when someone is posting resumes on job ads, you will see why this is so important. There was just a story in our local paper yesterday about the importance of keeping your resume info confidential because anyone can google you. It's really tempting to think that all the people on this (and other message boards) are just here for decorating or casual talk. But when you google something, sometimes the link that comes up is a msg board comment. And that may not be what you would like a potential employer to be reading, no matter how innocuous. Red

I could pile my desk up with papers and sticky notes as well. The corkboard on the doors of my armoire solve the sticky note problem for me perfectly. The 12 x 12 drawers I stacked on the shelves help deal with the paper clutter. You can set him up files for the different kinds of papers he has and let him file them in the drawers above the desk. If you eliminate the desk space, where will your husband begin piling up his papers? On top of your keyboard maybe? He'll have to put his papers somewhere, so it might be best to have an organized system to accommodate them. Hopefully he can be trained to file them and keep the desk tidy if he has a system that works for him. Good luck!! I have a nice big keyboard drawer under the desktop. I need the desktop for current projects I'm working on (or for my lunch tray. LOL) so I try to keep it clean and ready for use. Also, when the doors are closed, the desktop sticks out an extra 6 inches from the doors in front. So if I have too many papers on the desk, they'll stick out from under the doors and that drives me nuts--another incentive for keeping the desk surface clean. Another option: If you get an armoire like mine, you may have vertical compartments on one side that are designed for books, clipboards and file folders. You might be able to file some of his papers in those vertical dividers. I don't know if you can see them clearly in my photo above; they're above the single white drawer. They're on the upper right of my cabinet--3 vertical compartments that hold my envelopes, notepads and a book. Also, my armoire has a CD rack on each side of the monitor. But the racks can easily be removed. Then you could attach some wall pockets on each side of the interior armoire to file his papers. They'd then be right there within easy reach for him. Another option which I used on my old desk is a divided monitor shelf. I can't remember where I got these shelves. I actually have four stackable shelves, each with two compartments. I'm using two shelves under this fax machine in the picture below. On my desk, I used two shelves as well. I could slide papers and files into the compartments and keep most of the desk clear. And it elevates the monitor to eye level. Here is a link that might be useful:

Will they do a raincheck? I heard someone say Michaels will give rainchecks when their sale items are out of stock. Of course, you have to ask! :-)
