I've been thinking. Since the banks sort of... well... threw me into a few too many stone walls on my path to saving my home, it might be a good time to start thinking about redesigning my office. I have started to pack things up, mostly the "this won't be missed for a few months" fluff, but after living here for a significant part of my life there is a lot of 'fluff' to sort through. It is a preemptive move on my part, pack up the house to make it easier to move out of if I have to and to make it a "MY FIRST HOME!!!" joy of "moving in" if I do pull off this miracle.
Anyway, it has me thinking that this might be the chance I have been looking for to design my perfect home office. If I save the house, I will have a lot of things packed up, which means that I will have a virtually empty office to put things back into. I will be able to rebuild my office with all the things I want in it! (or move to a new place and build an office there (I hate thinking on that though)).
Anyway, if I can save my house, then before I unpack things would be the time for me to do things like install extra wall outlets and task lighting, build built-in desks and file cabinets (my parents bought me the saws and routers for all of that!), and since I want to have a 8 monitor computer system eventually, this would be the time to look at installing the extra monitor mounts for the future monitors and small TV screens that I currently keep staked on shelves and boxes. At the moment I actually do run a 3 monitor system with a TV set up to the side. It would be so nice to have all four screens actually mounted on the wall area behind the desk on adjustable mounting brackets so I can use the desk space for other things and make the desk area smaller.
So, yeah. Now is the time to decide what I really want in a home office (aside from a richly stained hand built oak wrap-around desk and shelf system). Once I know if I am keeping the house (PLEASE!!!!!) I will hold off on "moving in" until after the office is fully redesigned to be the office of my dreams.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.
I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.
Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.
If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.
Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
