I can't believe I didn't post about this....

[thoreau]

so - - - I'm quasiwhining - okay - totally whining about only having a laptop at home and how sometimes when I want to work on a work project my eyes hurt having just a small screen to navigate on - and my boss pulls out the employee manual and shows me how - work - would purchase me a home office setup because I'm a salaried manager. (but not, apparently the full on G5 Mac Tower I wanted, because the Mac I have is only here because the previous graphic artist used it) - - - -

so - - - (yes I'm getting the point)- - - work ordered me a laptop charging dock, a 22" flat panel monitor, external hard drive and new mouse and keyboard. OMG.

So - i had been looking around craigslist (because I'm a cheapbastard^tm) looking at desks and such - when walking home from lunch today - - there is a desk in Out of the Closet on Duboce for $10. $10! (cheapbastard powers - ACTIVATE) My neighbors helped me carry it home. Scoot the bed a little - and VOILA!

Thanks to Morgan mh58 and Tommy notdefined for recycling one of their office chairs my direction - I now am all set for my new home office setup. Yay!³

Wow! A $10 desk AND a free chair!? SCORE!

Did you intentionally put the two objects (not counting the frisbee) on the table in perfect symmetry for the photo? I thought only I was that anal.

Wonder twin powers... ACTIVATE!

Nice! My brother found my office chair on the side of the road near Bush Airport. An office building was being remodeled and the previous furnishings were free to whomever would take them away. I've got a black folding table for my desk, looking to replace it, but not till I find the kind of deal you just did:) Congrats on the new equipment!

Bravo! Though I hope you won't face further anti-Macintosh sentiments at work.

The desk looks great in that spot, but beware of sunshine streaming in through windows!

You put my picture up there? What're you trying to do? Bring down a curse on your head or somethin'???
