I had a buddy who was extremely organized and he told me being organized
is just as bad as being disorganized.  People come into my office
and talk about how cluttered it is but actually aside from about 
2000 lp's I keep around it, I have to have a bunch of piles because
I have a lot of stuff to keep track of.  I kind of resent people
assuming that there is  no rhyme or reason for my clutter.  Remember
when George Costanza was working on the "Penski file" his office
was very clean.

This house is sick though and the person leaving that mess needs help.
