Still better than android clock

i like my new desk very much, it is solid and has lots of places to keep my stuff

also it's L-shaped, as all of my desks have and will be, because i like having somewhere to put my elbow when i'm doing mouse things

it is one of these https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/bestar-innova-l-shaped-desk-tuscany-brown-black/6000152506404

gently caress keyboard trays forever though

my desk is a tabletop from a cubicle. its good.

i like the texture of the top, and it has rubber edging around it. i added feet to it and braced the legs so it can stand on its own without the rest of the cubicle. my fav part is that since it's a cantilever design theres no drawers or bars or other bullshit under the desk for me to slam my knees into

When the Motorola "Software Center of Excellence" opened at UWA in 2003 (!) all the brand new fitout in the meeting- and training rooms were this style with the huge sunken CRTs embedded within the desks.

Chileans in the 70s: the desktop is dead :smuggo:

(by koinkidink I just read a transcript of Allende's last radio broadcast before being murdered by what i'm assuming was an US-backed coup because why the gently caress wouldn't it have been US-backed. powerful stuff.)

Just bumping this to say thank you to everyone that suggested the Uplift Desk sit/stand desks. I ordered the L shaped V2 desk and just finished setting it up and it's pretty close to what I have at work. I've got some minimal cable cleanup to do and some Ergotron arms on order but it's a great setup so far. This is making wfh slightly more tolerable. I've got most of my gear from work office at home now which is nice, but I guess it took me eight months to realize that I actually miss having office visitors; people just dropping by to sit around and try to solve work problems or real problems. Zoom and Webex can get hosed I don't know how much longer I can take that kind of interaction.

i did an "ikea hack" to finally get myself off of the dining room table





solid beech top, stained in minwax gunstock, and sealed with semigloss polyurethane

these are the drawers and the feet spacers between them are these

i drilled holes in the bottoms of the feet spacers so that i could run bolts through them and have everything connected instead of having the desktop prevented from sliding around by just its weight
