A great example of Brutalist architecture, also quite a cool place to work.
It's them I blame for getting me into professional janitoring back in 2000 (before then it was a cash making hobby (freelance cowboy)).

use a banana hanger/tree for headphones

dont use a literal banana hanger for your headphones though, over time the narrow hanger will indent your headphones and ruin the nice padding in the head band

i made a thing by taking a rubbermaid garage hose hook, standing it upright, and gluing some pipe insulation cut to fit to the metal part at the top

it cost around $12, looks alright, and after 2 years has not left any indent in my headphone head band

it's really nice, and much roomier

i used 4 ikea "capita" legs and what is essentially a stair step from lowes. attached a wood scrap to the back and screwed it into the top part and base of the desk so the little legs don't slide off

Just get an aeron chair on craigslist for $250-500 dependent on how stolen it is.

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do. There are like a million listings on local Craigslist for "Lot of 20+ Aeron chairs, must go" because of all the failed startups.

re: headphone storage - simply hammer one small nail in to the wall, works for me :o:



Man the iphone5 cam is piss in low light

Also seconding the aeron love - if you desk-jockey as much as you probably do in the POS then it's an investment for your rear end + back.

The aftermarket headrest I have on mine is nice, though resting on it while wearing my headphones is a bit rattly.

take a short length of gaffer's tape

at one end, cut out a corner piece that is 1/2 the width of the tape, square

carefully fold the tape in half, leaving it all shiny-side except for a piece exposed at the end

wrap around cables, the sticky only touches other tape
