This New Thunderbolt 4 Hub Is Almost Perfect but My Desk Is Still a Hot Mess

Neatness is highly overrated and I love the Ejector

In our old house we had an eight foot wide custom-built desk in a spacious basement office. We often had three computers and a printer with plenty of room to spread out paperwork. I had another desk on the other side of the office, a large bookcase, and plenty of shelves to store office supplies.

We have none of that now and it’s all my own damn fault.

We moved

In 2005, we moved to a retirement community. It’s the kind of place where you buy the home and rent the land. The homes are “manufactured homes”; they get delivered in two parts and are put together on top of a crawl space on site. We are on a wooded lot with a nice deck, they take care of the mowing and snow shoveling while we practice retirement.

I was concerned about the size of our new home, but I carefully measured our old place and found that we were only losing two hundred square feet. We’d be off-loading plenty enough furniture to make up for that!

Except.. after we moved in I realized that I forgot about my office. Oops, three hundred square feet of space gone. Space that we damn well needed…
