I do a few things like this and so I have to change the desk area around every time I come in. My coworker (who likes to control the desk area and can get catty for random reasons) asked me (told me) this morning to change the keyboard back the way it was when I came. We have had this discussion before and I have told her that I have to change the keyboard the way I want it when I come in and that everyone should arrange it the way they like when they come in and that I have no idea how she wants it changed. She says that I am the only one who likes it that way and so I should change it back. She is catty and gets an attitude about things like this.
So the question is, which is right:
1. Everyone should be responsible for changing the desk area the way they like when they come in.
2. I should be responsible for changing the area the way she wants it even though I have to change it when I come in as well.

Working in tight spaces and sharing equipment will often bring out the worst in each of us. You have my prayers in this matter.
Now, to make you want to quit your job entirely:
"Overall, a greater number of microorganisms was
detected on the keyboards of the multiple-user computers,
with an average of 20.1 colonies per square centimeters,
whereas the single-user keyboards had an
average of 4.5 colonies per square centimeters...
"...Of particular interest
was the isolation of bacteria belonging to of the Enterobactericeae
family, including Escherichia coli from one
keyboard, as well as Enterococcus faecalis, which is indicative
of fecal contamination."
