I about reached the end of my work-from-home productivity rope this Spring, so I appealed to my boss to be allowed to start coming in to the office. It&#8217;s been a good move, productivity-wise, as I am able to focus on work much better when I am not in the same room with so much of my crafting equipment and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I was really missing about my home office though, was the ability to work while standing. At home, I had started putting the <a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/stepstool.jpg\">cedar stepstool<\/a> up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/endtable.jpg\">craftsman endtable<\/a>, and using that assembly as a standing desk for my work laptop. In the office, I&#8217;m using a desktop computer with a full keyboard, and the stepstool is not wide enough to accommodate that and a mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, I still had some finished pine shelves from the old house in the garage. I cut one of them up into pieces, joined the pieces with dowels and glue, reinforced the joins with some metal right-angle brackets, finished the cut ends of the pieces, and now I have a standing desk for work without having to appeal to the furniture gatekeepers for an expensive motorized desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/kbd-booster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/kbd-booster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Keyboard Booster at Work<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in my ginchy custom desktop backgrounds, see the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/gallery\/desktops\/libertyexit.jpg\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/gallery\/desktops\/libertyexit.jpg\">Liberty Exit<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/gallery\/desktops\/tokyo-mapleshrine.jpg\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/gallery\/desktops\/tokyo-mapleshrine.jpg\">Tokyo Maple Shrine<\/a>&#8221; images in my <a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/gallery\/desktops\/\">Desktops Gallery<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started a new job back in September, while the office was completely closed.
