Mucking Out

[jacey]

I've spent all day today mucking out the office in preparation for getting the new laptop up and running and being able to remove a hideous set of slatted Ikea shelves that currently house the tower case for my computer and the all-in-one printer.

And I do mean mucking out - which is by far the most satisfying type of cleaning. It's the first time I've actually been able to move my desk for about five years. (And when I did move it... oh boy!) I filled the Dyson with just the grot from the office carpet and made a huge spider homeless (not that he'll need a home as he's probably in spidery heaven right now).

I've filled three binbags with stuff I previously thought I needed to save and am currently contemplating moving furniture round to make it more friendly and give myself a better working light... trying to figure out a kind of Yorkshire feng shui. (It must be reading 'Demon in the City' that's got me at it.

Well, color me impressed! That's quite a job and only made trickier by the lack of space to work in. I bet it's going to feel fabulous when you're done...

It's getting closer. I'm typing this on the new computer from my newly positioned desk. I now have my back into the filling cabinet corner, tyhe desk at an angle and the window light falls across where I work. I just have to be careful to positionn the computer screens so they don't reflect window at me.

I also have a cameras in my laptop so we should be able to make video calls now.

Hopefully tomorrow the big wooden thing that my computer and printer were on will get carried away to the back shop by some big stron hairy Canadians (Yes I have Tanglefoot in residence again.)

It's always good to have hairy Canadians around when you need heavy lifting done! Hope that new computer is spiffy...

Nerw computer still has a few teething troubles, brobably due to pre-installed bloatware which I still need to remove.

"bloatware"- LOL! I'm sure you'll tidy it up in no time!

As usual when facing office clean-up, stuff spilled out all over the hallway. Most of it is back in the office, but I'm still trying to work out where to put a big bag of black flece and 2 yards of black ans white jersey print. (Yeah, I know, but sewing is further down the list.)
