My desk has reached a new level (literally) of awesomeness. I’ll probably post a picture in the next few days.
I spent a good bit of time cleaning off my desk so I could rearrange my monitors a bit. There was a very large amount of cat hair scattered in the back (of course), as well as a large number of random wires. Now all the wires that weren’t in use (there were many) have been removed, several things that are used exceedingly rarely are on a shelf on the other side of the room, and all the cat hair I could manage was removed.
I also cleaned off the back space to the right side of the desk so Talore has more room. That wasn’t the intent, but that’s how it worked out. With my left monitor pushed back there isn’t room for Talore to walk all the way around behind my monitors anymore. Hopefully she won’t push over a monitor trying.
I still have to rebuild my computers (swap cases for more space on the newer computer), so I’ll probably bother to organize the cables under the back of my desk while I’m at it.
In other news, I weaseled out of traveling to New Jersey for work next week. I was told I was supposed to go out there on rather short notice, and I hadn’t traveled for work before so I didn’t have (or know I needed) a corporate credit card. Despite my manager being on vacation I’m now approved for one, but it’s not expected to be here fast enough to get a flight on Tuesday. Luckily, in the process of attempting to get me set up for travel quickly, one of the leads questioned the need to physically be in the room where we’re setting stuff up considering we have remote access, and it was decided it wasn’t worth the trouble of sending me unless we have a problem with something.
