Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

I need a new place to live. I think I’ve come to that conclusion when I was trying to get into my computer room and was stumbling around stubbing my toes on the computer under the night stand I use as a router/hub rack. I then realizing I’d stubbed my left foot on the stand went to the right and stubbed my right foot on the dresser I use as the CD rack, and utility computer part holder. I then reel back and head to the left jumping around at this point, and stub my shin on the work bench just ahead of me, and fall onto the roller chair that my girl friend happened to leave shifted out in front of my path before she left two days prior.

Shoot here is how I have the room arranged, I think it’s a 12x16 room where when you walk into the room you see a dressor four feet into the room just in clearance with the door entry, to the left is the night stand next to the wall just as you walk in holding a lamp, and six routers. Underneath (stand actually sits on top) the stand is my desktop/VPN box, next to it is a giant red gaudy chair that we’ve had for more than twenty years. Just in the middle of the room is a weight bench with a leg lift on the front, and free weight bar on the back. To the left of it and farthest to the left against the wall is my infamous tread mill.

Behind the weight bench, to the right of the tread mill, is the closet that is completely blocked by the weight bench, and really is just filled with misc computer parts, outdated cloths, box of baseball cards, and some old computer terminal monitors. If you’re looking straight into the room just behind the dresser is the first of two bookshelves, the first against the far right wall just snuggling in beside the dresser. Next to the bookshelf is my desk that is dead center against the wall that is a foot away from the weight bench (currently resides in the middle of the room), and to the left of the desk is another bookshelf that also blocks the rest of the closet section. Laying on the floor is books I’ve been reading, or am currently reading along with assorted weights. Each bookshelf is overflowing with bargain computer books I picked up on Amazon.com along with a collection I’ve purchased from Borders. All in all the room is pretty cramped, and that’s the room I work most in. My bedroom is no exception to this rule, and the garage is so full of truck pieces that it’s border line resembling my computer room. I think in the next month, after my surgery, I’m going to start looking for a home of my own. I think its about time, and with the rates it’s almost retarded not to look. I have been budgeting myself to about 35k a year even though I make more, and hopefully that will pay off when I go home looking. We’ll see though, but my shins are starting to push more and more each day. I think I’d lost some stress if I had a more open environment in which to work, and live in. The degree of separation between my work room and bedroom are not far enough to promote healthy sleep, and I think I’m taking it to work with me each day. Again, we’ll see, anyway back at it.
