Return of the Mojo

I finally got my January Change Fresh Slate Mojo! (Turns out it was the Illinois Sales Tax Audit at work that was blocking me. But that log-jam is finally breaking free.)

Some people count sheep when they can't sleep. I rearrange furniture. I've done it 3 times now so it must be my pattern. In my studio, all I did was switch my desk area with my work space area. I say "all" but it took me hours. There weren't all that many pieces to move but I had to deal with a mess on both sides before I could begin to move things.

This all came about because my printer died. Before setting up the new one, I decided to switch the TV with the printer. (The printer is to the left, outside the photo.) I tend to Tivo more stuff than I watch, then I have to delete stuff to record more stuff. So maybe with the TV more centrally located, I'll watch more. Dunno. I like to work in silence too.

I love those 2 units with all the drawers but when I upgraded from smaller units to these you see here, they blocked so much of my window view over the back yard and the neighbor's Christmas tree farm, all I had left was a little 6" x 6" peep hole. Unacceptable! So Sunday morning, while trying to go back to sleep, it dawned on me to switch the two spaces. I love it.

The only downside is the cord from the Groove (located to the right, outside the photo) doesn't reach my laptop gracefully - has to reach across my chair - not good. For now I've been moving my laptop to the workspace when I want to cut something. But I think a longer cord that I can tack up under the MDF counter is definitely in order.
