Hahaha. As do I most of the time, and as are mine.
That's why it seemed so photo-worthy. "Hey my workspace is able to worked at right now!"
I'm often at the coffee table or kitchen table too (instead of sequestered in back - though I do go back there for more careful work or if I'm just home alone).

Hahah. Sure - it's actually from around 1999 when a group of friends (we're still all in contact but those days are long gone) got together each Sunday for many years. We'd BBQ most of the day and into the evening. Plenty o drink. Plenty of food. This is back when The X-Files was still new and we always turned it on and gathered around taking turns (or just talking over one another) making up our own dialogue a lot of the time (especially re-runs) and always, ALWAYS placing bets just before the top of the show as to when "the flashlight scene" would occur (9:06pm? 9:22pm? or would it be save for the finale at 9:52pm???) - whoever got closest without going over won the pot (which was often leftover food and drink). (Go back and watch and X-Files episode. 9 times out of 10 there will be dark scene with flashlights at some point.)
Anyhow, I almost always brought along some form of marinated chicken, in various concoctions and cuts and styles, for the grill... and I was one of about 5 of us that would tend the grill regularly. And I was the ONLY one that was willing to be at the grill and watch the TV and yell through the open dining room window into the living room
while the X-Files was on. One night one of the gals came to check on me and hang out for a minute - when she went back inside she said "don't worry everyone, Chickentender's got it all under control".
No one ever stopped calling me that after that night. It was eventually shortened to to "C.T." and I was introduced that way for years. Never went away.
That's the semi-long version.

....First my current workbench, taken just moments ago. Then my workbench as a teenager. Not much cleaner.
Thanks. It is when it's semi-clean. Plants are another hobby. Our place is pretty much an arboretum.
That bench shot is more like what my workspace normally looks like.
