  One of the things I've been working on over the last couple of weeks
  was a new desk and deskspace for the PCF Chelmsford office where I
  work.  It's been hard because I have a bunch of equipment that I
  need access to, as well as a bunch of paperwork and other things.
  Also, I felt my desk was too short for my height--I was always
  feeling scrunched up.  Also also, my desk had a privacy guard and I
  have a bruise on the front of each shin from whacking the damned
  privacy guard all the time.  I really really needed a different
  desk.

  One night, I drew up plans.  Two weekends ago, I visited my dad and
  we took his Suburban to Home Depot, picked up some material, brought
  it back to his place where he has more space, and made the cuts.
  Then we brought it back to my place where I spent the last couple of
  weeks sanding it, staining it and poly-urethaning it.

  Today I finished it up, assembled it, moved everything around, and
  put it in place.

  I put the PCF build boxes under the desk where I can kick them when
  I'm annoyed.  :)

  Many thanks to my dad for all his help and my brother-in-law for his
  thoughts.  I'm really psyched to have a better desk.  It'll clear up
  a lot of problems I was having.
