Look, I don't care if your office is messy...
I don't care if you look like unprofessional
I don't care if people shake their heads as they walk by your office

but when I have to jump through hoops and recreate your own selfmade mess because you can't find what you need THEN I mind.

Big week here at work. Auditors are here and it turns out that my co-workers have been just flinging numbers around all year hoping everthing matches up and now they can't figure out how anything got to where it is. I have stood in both of their offices the last two days as they look under piles of CRAP and ended up having to go back MYSELF and recreate the whole process because they didn't keep their records straight.

For crying out loud.

1. Software! Databases! The paperless office! Whoot!
Of course, as a programmer that makes these things, I might be biased.

2. Simplification and organization
make all the difference.

Hell everything is dumbed down to the minimal anyway.
