One inch. One lousy damn inch. That’s how much more space I needed in my office to fit my desks and bakers rack the way I wanted them. So, I had to run out to get a new, narrower, bakers rack for the servers. Dammit. Oh well, when I move the original chrome rack into the garage, I’ll have one of the spiffiest garage shelving units in the neighborhood, I guess.
The unpacking is coming along. I got most of the office boxes done last night. Of course, nothing is in place, but they’re unpacked. It’s a start. I have to get a longer cable for the cable modem before I can put the baker’s rack where it belongs and get all the servers set up. Once I do that, then the rest of the office should come together pretty easily. Then, it’s on to the books and CDs. Ugh, what a job that will be. I was lamenting to some online friends about how I didn’t pack my CDs myself, so they’re all out of order and will need to be arranged. Yes, I alphabetize my CDs. How else are you going to find what you’re looking for in a collection now up over the 1000 mark?
While moving office furniture around last night, I realized that the desk the movers broke was worse off than I originally thought. The wooden piece at the back that keeps the legs from flying out to the side when you put weight on the top surface is broken to the point that it can’t be repaired. Right now, it’s supported on 3 sides by walls and the other desks, so it’ll be fine for this apartment, but it won’t survive another move. Oh well.
I learned something the hard way yesterday … down here, when it’s humid, a forecast of “partly cloudy” means it’s going to rain. Thankfully, I heard thunder and ran out to put my windows up and close the sunroof before the inside of the truck got too wet. When I asked about the total lack of warning for this cloudburst, people looked at me like I was crazy and said “it was humid and cloudy, Kyle.” OH! Silly me.
