BUT THEN I THOUGHT: perhaps i could... ride this desk like a scooter? so off i went for 2 blocks, merrily coasting along on my drafting table. but, alas, tragedy struck: one of the wheels friggin flew off. oh snap! i shouldn't've trusted the casters to hold out, in retrospect, but it was a fun ride while it lasted. i put it back on and pushed it a while, but the wheel kept falling off. so i started to push it while lifting up slightly on that one corner of the desk, but, you know, it's a drafting table, so that corner lifts up without lifting up the legs any. so i locked the surface up, grabbed the frame, and with the other hand grabbed the surface, and pushed the desk diagonally the rest of the way home. once there, i pulled off the other casters [who the hell needs a desk with wheels?] and stuck it against the wall.

PRESENTLY, it serves as a computer desk, but once i get a real computer desk, it will be permanently tilted up for use as a work table. FINALLY, a table that tilts up so i can actually do work on it! i've been waiting for years.

AS FOR COMPUTER desks, i'm looking for a small corner one, perhaps like this, since i have a small corner where one would fit perfectly. see, i have this small indentation in the corner of my office, it goes in two inches but is like exactly one meter long, which is slightly smaller than my drafting table, otherwise it would go there. and there's about a meter between the end of my drafting table and the wall. that corner desk, however, could go right next to my drafting table right there, fit exactly, and make everybody happy. everybody would win!

OH, YEAH: and apparently i just got a temp position at some .com or other [well, not at, more like near, since i'm apparently an independent contractor] doing utterly boring work. but, hey: money! doot doot. this means i can afford to have sugar in my tea. i even put on a suit when i went downtown. this was immediately after i got my drafting table.

SO, GENTLE READER, what are the haps with you?
