Simple exercises
Though the rest of my body is in fairly good shape, my upper arms have more flab than is preferred, especially as they get nearer to the shoulders. I have a busy schedule and my breaks come in irregular and short intervals. What are some simple exercises I could do at my desk/when I'm waiting without any work out equipment?

This is all very nice, as long as you are aware that area specific exercises will do nothing to get rid of the flab on your arms. The human body works in such a way that fat loss cannot be targetted.
So, since it follows from this that the only way to lose the flab on your arms is to lose weight overall, that means that it is beneficial for you to do all sorts of exercises (not just those that target arms/shoulders). So, might I suggests crunches, lunges and squats (together with the suggestions given below). If you want more exercises that target the shoulders, and if you have something like paperweights, then maybe in combination with shoulder presses try dumbbell lateral raises (of course in your case it would be paperweight lateral raises). The advantage of this exercise is that you dont need anything too heavy to feel the burn (for things like presses i doubt you will get much from paperweights):

Of course none of this will help much without a proper diet. Good luck.

LIFT WEIGHTS for about 5 minutes each arm twice a day. Should Help!! :]

the simple exercises come & save the day! yes, there are definitely simple exercises you can do "on the go." at your desk, you might want to try some counter pushups. all it is is a pushup against your desk instead of against the floor. you might also want to try to get two heavy objects (paperweights, etc.) and do overhead presses. hold them in your hands and raise them up gently. you can also do the bent over fly. harder to describe, but check it out here:

hey, well buy those little weights that weigh like 5-10 and do some excerises with them at your desk. but as always push-ups are the best thing for arm flab.
