Desk Reorganization

So when I was excited to switch to the new laptop and and turn in my, showing it’s age, However when I bought a monitor for it, for the desktop system, the 4k 24” monitor, just wasn’t’ big enough. there’s no way I could justify to myself, let alone Shannon, the PRO XDR, but with the induction of the Studio Display, I was able to see the logic of it, but the problem is that made the Desk really crowded.

The crowded desktop before.

So I thought about it for a bit, and thought I might have a plan, but when I started placing things, that made less sense, and adjusted a bit further. Originally I thought I could get the laptops and the wires boxes in the middle, but the monitors took up a bit to much space, so the wires are in the middle, and teh laptops behind the middle of the monitors.

Mid-progress

the organization was making progress, and I got the movement of the drawers and printer stand to the top of Shannon’s art supply cabinet. This was about the point where we started watching Top Gun, so my progress slowed a bit, but I was able to get everything eventually done, enough. The Lenovo USB-C wires to connect the monitors are…well…not very flexible. And the display port, mine, cable is just to long, sot the work area could use a bit more work. The ethernet cablles are also a bit long as well. Overall I think it’ll do for now, though I did add some stuff to my cart to think about, to perhaps finish ($80 of cords)

It feels a bit less crowded, and less distracting. I guess we’ll see how the work side is on Monday, though I did test and make sure everything came back up and works as expected.
