I'm settling back into my office after putting things back together up here following the departure of the painters. The neat (literally) thing about this is having gone from the desk equivalent of a heavy-duty pick-up truck to more of a sports car situation. The old desk was one of those wire frame dealies designed for servers, chosen to support the pair of 21" CRTs that went with my work and game machines. Since those eventually became an LCD monitor and a KVM switch to alternate between computers, replacing the huge desk with a small workstation carol became practical, and I now have a lot more elbow room. Of course, recalling how cluttered this place was before the work on the ceiling makes this seem like I've just been given more rope with which to hang myself, so I'll have to be smarter about using the extra space rather than abusing it.

Yakety Yak!
