Captain's Log, Supplemental
It is sooooooo hot here in San Jose, and we don’t have air conditioning. (Collective “Awww” of pity for poor Camy)
On a positive note, it’s too hot for my dog to get into too much trouble.
A couple weekends ago (before it got so hot), Captain Caffeine and I got rid of my old desk, a heavy wooden one (which I can’t complain about because it was free) and we got a door at Home Depot to lay on cinderblocks for my desk. Ta da!
We wrapped the cinderblocks in black plastic trash bags so they wouldn’t rain gravel on my carpet (that’s the black pillars at each corner).
You’ll notice that my monitor, keyboard, and trackball are elevated on cardboard boxes so that I can stand and type (it’s better for my back), but my ergonomic chair is rolled to the side so I can sit if I want to (the keyboard and monitor are easy to move down from the boxes.
I also have a rolling caddy with drawers for my stuff, and my file cabinet is on the far right, out of the picture.
I love my door desk! It’s 36” x 80”, so it’s HUGE!

How creative! I never thought of elevating everything to stand and type... That's a really good idea, I may have to try it.
Very creative idea with the door, Camy!
Cool desktop idea, by the way. Lots of space! Love it.
No AC? I think I would cry.
