It's a working shop. We work pretty hard to keep it clean but it's
impossible to keep it perfect.

It's a magnificent mess! Somebody must do some actual *work* in there!

There's definitely work that gets done. Most of the time we have a
hard time keeping up.

It always makes me wonder, when I see a shop that's immaculately clean
with everything in its place, clean and shiny, whether any of it is ever
*used.*

True though my former employer was one that kept the shop pretty
darn clean. But they turned local work away all the time so we had
time to clean. Then when the carbon black industry went through a slow
down they had to close.

OK, OK, don't get me wrong! We try to keep our shop at work (and mine at
home) clean and organized too. It does make finding tools easier -- if
some SOB from the showroom hasn't taken something, used it for 2
minutes, and left it God knows where.

That's our biggest problem. It doesn't help when every one has a
different idea of where things go as well. There just so many tools
and so many hiding places that it's not unusual for something to
disappear for 6 months because somebody put it in the wrong drawer.
