You know that I am supposed to be doing shop work over the next few days, so you decide to swing by for a visit.

As you enter the shop, you notice that it is quite a mess. The floor is covered with sawdust, scraps of wood, and other materials. The work bench and tables are filled with a number of unfinished projects, various parts, soda cans, and fast food containers. The two trash cans are overfilled and one of them has a strange odor emanating from it. Tools are scattered everywhere and the shelves on which they belong are a disorganized mess.

You find me in the back corner sitting behind a desk covered in loose papers, unopened mail, stacks of trade catalogs, a few soda cans and a half eaten burger. I am staring intently at the screen of a laptop computer with one hand on the mouse and the other in my lap. 

I notice you and quickly shut the laptop and my face flushes as I say "Um, hi there. I wasn't expecting you"...
