Here at gadgetshop HQ, we know that one's desktop can be a barren location. Devoid of life and soul, it's the final resting place of a lonely, dejected mouse, filthy mousemat, pile of coffee-stained papers, and a million microscopic biscuit crumbs.

So one is almost duty-bound to bring it to life with a touch of office wisdom, and let a shaft of illumination in to the building. These desktop signs come in a handy ring-bound format, meaning that you can, quite simply, flick between messages to suit the one that best matches your mood.

Reflecting the best and worst of office life - and your contribution to it - think of these signs as a philosophical take on your 9-5, with its tongue wedged firmly in its cheek.

Flick though your choice of 30 classic workplace cuts and you'll double over with laughter, not to mention demonstrate your devious attitude to office survival.

Choice phrases include the classic "I love deadlines - I especially love the sound they make as they go whooshing by", and, our favourite, "Chaos, panic and disorder - my work here is done." But what are we doing? We're giving it all away, that's what one is doing? To bring the other 28 to life on your desk, you'll need to part with a little cash. We do apologise.
