In which there are doings

hoveringsombreroI'm obsessively reorgainising today, so here's a couple pictures of what's turned out best so far,
and also the thing that's actually finished so far.
I'm just tall enough that certain things are a problem, REAL tall people find my whining amusing though.
It's not so much my tallness is that I'm stupidlong, long legs, long torso, long arms, blah blah blah.
Everything made for normal people is just slightly too short, I have to put my desk chair down to the lowest setting, and the desk is still low, same with table I was using before. Kitchen counters annoy me the most. I don't expect I'd notice it quite as much if I didn't have a bitchy lower back. It's just that slight bending over that angers the hell out of my back and shoulders.
Anyway, wahh wahh poor me, etc.
Lasterweek when J came in here to watch a Who episode with me, he SHOVED my monitor out of it's uptilt, and I haven't been able to tilt it back up. This brought to my attention that even if I tilted it back up it wouldn't make much difference, my eyeline was at the address bar in the top of the browser, only if I slouched, if I sat up straight I'd be staring at the top frame of the monitor screen.
So I was eying my snazzy new free desk and realised, that I could just put monitor up on the higher part. Which works way better than I envisioned it, I'm typing at desktop right now. Not only is it at a better height, it's also farther away. The monitors huge ass made it so that it was currently as far away as I could get it, being in the middle of the desk.
So, here's the messy before:
And the awesome after:
Also, after taking those pictures I realised that I was now able to angle the keyboard in such a way to be able to put mouse on left side. That's also been bugging me since I set up the desk, that I wasn't able to randomly switch sides as I've been used to doing in the past. This is why I purposely buy both-handed mices. This should make my right hand less angry.
