UPDATE: Working Mom’s Home Office Awarded $10,000 Grand Prize in MyFax Messy Office Contest

After five weeks of intense competition between slobs from all across North America, MyFax has announced that Susan Johnson of California has won the $10,000 Grand Prize in the MyFax Messy Office Contest. The cleanliness-challenged Johnson, who works out of a home office that would actually have to be cleaned for a day to be described as merely “messy,” was chosen from 10 finalists in an online poll open to the general public.

“With my winnings, a shredder, wastebasket, and a MyFax account are on the top of my list of things to purchase,” said Johnson. “Although, at this point, it might make more sense to rent a bulldozer and dumpster and start from scratch.”
