Desk
Writing desk, School desk, Working at a desk
A desk is a small kingdom: the place where plans are made, letters written and homework done or avoided. A dream desk often mirrors how you organize your thoughts and responsibilities. A tidy desk suggests a clear head and a plan you believe in. A school desk carved with initials can take you back to the classroom and to the person you were when someone else set your tasks. Sitting at someone else's desk may mean you're stepping into their role or wondering what it's like. An old wooden desk, perhaps one that belonged to a grandparent, links you to the habits and wisdom of the past.

- Sitting at someone else's deskYou're curious about another person's responsibilities. Learn from them, but don't take on their load.
