Day 42 - Saturday, June 2, 2012


This week I've gotten my first taste of working from a cubical.  It is quite different for someone who's workplaces have been factories, tool stores, and a room crammed with desks for naughty children.  Everyone's cubical is different--some people it's just the bare minimum they need to get work done.  For others, it's like a second house.

Anyways, at work there are a limited amount of shelving units for you to have to organize your things.  Obviously this isn't mission critical type thing, but they are a nice enhancement for your space.

The other thing is, a lot of people, myself including, liked to have their monitors off the desk so they have more desk space.  So I decided that I would build myself a shelf/monitor stand.

I think it turned out pretty well.  Everything you see here was built from two boards, a 1"x12"x8' and a 1"x6"x4'.  My 1"x12" board was pretty straight, but I did not look at my 1"x6, which was extremely warped.  We ended up getting it to work (it's the back piece of the shelf.)  I think it is pretty good.  Now I just need to get the polyurethane on it and life will be good.
