Dear Me, Don't listen to me. Thx., Me

Somehow in my head, I had this scenario where one day Sheri and the furniture maker would come to install the new desk with whoever was taking the old desk. I'd unhook everything and move it to the kitchen counter and rehook it up there. Holy crap what in the hell was I smoking???

When Amira said she wanted the desk, I figured I'd wait until she got here and then do the move and rehook up thing.

Then I decided to go ahead and do it so that she could get in and get the desk out with a minimum of bother.

This last bit was the only smart thought of the bunch.

I just spent 3 hours unplugging unthreading unhitching and rehooking up everything and holyfuckinchrist. Leisurely with no one waiting on me and taking my time it was a royal bitch of a job. The desk has 3 gormets and each was filled with cables and cords. The hutch also had a way to thread stuff through. Everything was tangled in everything and filthy.

Plus, of course, Travis was there to help.

I finally got everything done except cleanup. Stuff I no longer need but was somehow using anyway: 3 power strips, 4 extension cords, 3 ethernet cables.

Here's what it looks like now



I'm done for today but clearly there is much more to do. I'm not living like this for 3 weeks (or maybe 4). BUT I am very glad I got this started so I found out now what a bitch of a job it is and get it all done before hand.

Whew.

I love that little guy hanging there on the back wall. Looks like he might have a pretty important job.

Isn't he adorable? His job is charging batteries for phones and camera. He's very good at it.

Geez girl. After looking at your desk I have come to the conclusion that we are related. :)

Pitiful isn't it. And this photo only shows have of the computer stuff on top of the desk and none of the crap under it.

I keep telling myself to get it organized, but it is like a swap fungus. We are relocating the computer room to a larger room downstairs and that will be an opportunity to get everything straightened up........... for a half of a day.

Once I get this new set up set up, it will be perfection. Then I'm going through my cables and taking inventory and putting them where I can find them (or tossing them out). I'll bet I have 75 USB cables and half that in ethernet cables (and yet, can I ever find one???? NO)...

But the setup will be cool. I spent a day planning each outlet, gromet, plug in and cable path. sheri made me. And she incorporated that work into hers.. It's going to be beautimous... for at least half a day maybe a whole one!
