I got a new desk, aka, domain ala Jen
Yes. Finally got rid of that desk I’ve had over the last few years that was s wobbly as hell. It was the type of desk that could give at any minute. When I bought my townhouse in Colorado they had left such a deck in the upstairs loft. My Mother touched it and it feel to pieces. That’s where this desk was heading, Propped up with TV stands it was on it’s way out, no doubt. I know most geeks out here will understand me when I say my home office and my computer room is my “Domain” … if I’m not at work melting under florescent lights, I’m home in my home office with ambient lighting and a half standing desk.
When I was first given this desk I was told it was “brand new” by a former boss. The hell it was. It has scratches and stickers and gashes all over it. It was one of those desks you would fin in an ally way somewhere thinking great things about how you can use the parts and a little duck tape to device some device to take over the world. I was told I could buy it from him for $50 bucks. I opted against the $50 bucks since I was getting not only extremely used furniture *promised brand new) and there weren’t eve enough bolts to hold the damn thing together. Long story short, it was time for me to have a proper desk and I found the exact on I wanted. I spend the majority of my time in my home office and I was missing that zen factor. Not only was the office cluttered but I had had to have a med for all our fur babies. They follow me everywhere one my oldest has to be right up there with me no matter what. It’s always been our “thing” my Neves and myself bond.
So, with the help of my Mother I splurged on something that would last a lifetime. I got me not only a really nice deck, but one made of light color of mahogany. It has all the nooks and crannies I need. The sucker is HUGE. It takes up a whole corner of two adjacent walls of my home office. It has everything I need, and it’s completely beautiful. I can finally have my own space again and I can finally chill with myself and de-stress and be marry as they used to say. I don’t feel like I have a cock-pit anymore. I feel like I have put in my dues for this desk and finally, I’ve gotten it. I’ve always felt at home on a computer, at my desk but never like this before.
My life from now on is getting my chi (is that the right word?) Balanced, my life balanced and to be in in a place where I am most comfortable. I estaablished that with this new desk in my space, in my zen. The most simple thing one could think of, a desk. Makes such much difference. It’s the little things. It doesn’t involved medication. It doesn’t involved doctors appointments. It just involves a a new set of scenery in a place already so comfortable.
PS – My XBOX Life name is “Yolospat” … didn’t see that one coming, did you?
