Yes, there are some workplaces that do have a "clean desk policy" (your desk must be totally clean each night, no papers loose, no books open, no company documents in accessable places (heaven help us if the cleaner got to see a printed copy of our dress code :roll: )) In such an environment, you could easily be reprimanded, or have your career stall if you don't keep a spotless environment.
A counter argument for your room mate could be that it is unhealthy to have a "too clean" living environment. (Clean living may be tied to asthma)

I am still looking for a perfect place to live, and I already thought about Australia. What I am looking for is about 20 acres of land near the mountains and the ocean, no traffic or pollution, yet within the driving distance to some metropolitan area. Not hotter than 30 degrees Celcius during the summer, and not colder than 10 degrees during the winter. Also, I just want to be left along (you know, not bound to the society or the government in any meaningfull way).
20 acres of land, how big is that? Could you please tell again in m2?

Honestly? :roll:
FYI, people who are gay and want the world to know it generally can do so less ambiguously than by wearing colorful shirts.
Meanwhile, there are those of us who frequently wear colorful shirts on other days, not just Friday, simply because we like colorful shirts. If some people draw incorret conclusions, I don't much care. My cute female coworkers didn't seem to think I was gar, and they're the only group whose opinion on the matter would interest me.

Those pants? Never. Usually jeans. The shirt? Well, maybe, but it's kinda boring, only two colors after all... I prefer these:
I wasn't overly impressed with Amazon's selection, really, but the above are acceptable to me.

Tom, not busting your balls but heard this joke before on Comedy Central, (Presents).
early-morning mating antics of a threatened species.
For the next few weeks male capercaillies will be strutting their stuff at dawn in the hope of attracting a willing mate.
The spectacular mating display of the rare Highland bird is known as "lekking", and ornithologists flock to witness the capers of the capers.
Capers are a beleaguered species and need all the help they can get during the breeding season.The male birds select a clearing in the woods know as a "lek", bristle their feathers and emit a special mating song.
The mating song of the male has been described as beginning with a resonant rattle, continuing with a pop-like a cork being pulled from a wine bottle, followed by the pouring of a liquid out of a narrow-necked bottle and ending with the sound of knife grinding.
The males can be very aggressive and have been known to attack deer, dogs, sheep and even humans if they are disturbed.
