See Yegolev.  That right there is why you can't get your chair out.  You lack something on your desk you can literally beat another man to death with.  Without the threat of implicit violence, they'll continue to take your chair.  And your stapler.

Actually, yesterday I put a lot of personal effects in a cardboard box (invalidating the previous picture) and tried to walk out to my car.  I was stopped by physical security and the box was examined, the security console was called, I was informed I needed to fill out an asset removal form which I could get from my manager, and eventually they decided to let me go after my shocked expression, confession of ignorance due to taking actual company property out many times over ten years (including boxes of hard disks and entire servers), and my unstoppable charm.

The topper to this was when the security guard had said I could take my box out, she commiserated with me and said things are different around here now (she was forced to turn contractor recently), and would be even more different a month from now; I agreed with her completely, then she says "Yeah, you might come back and drive your car through the front glass and take all kinds of stuff, we wouldn't be able to stop you."  I pointed out, on the record, that I would never do anything like that, then took my box and hurried out.  It's like the fucking Titanic except there's no Billy Zane.

I passed my manager in the elevator well later and told him about it, and he was obviously new to this particular process.  Things around here are pretty much Opposite Land from just a few years ago, nevermind back in the 1990s.

Besides all that, I'd never be able to wheel a leather chair out of here even in the best of times.  Way too obvious.

Can I ask? Where do you work? ie which company? Are they going under or just shutting down that office location?

I love the big powerstrip down there.  I should get something like that.  Is the critter next to popeye some kind of storage appliance?  I just picked up an acer aspire home server, installed ubuntu and some 1.5TB drives, and am loving it.

Yeah, the big powerstrip is pretty cool. I have it constantly filled up. That thing next to Popeye is a Thecus N5200pro.

I didn't really notice how bland my walls are until I took that picture. I'll have to do something about that.

I remain flabbergasted at people who have their computers within kicking range. The only thing that will ever be under my desk is the various ugly wire and a subwoofer.

It helps me with my posture. If I start to slack, shit gets kicked/unplugged/turned off.

Just going by the photo, it's very American Psycho.  I bet you dusted just before taking the photo.

I think it is pretty funny that you don't already know.  I haven't really been secretive about it.  My company invented Santa Claus.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

View of my "Home Office". The apartment is not huge, so we had to figure out a way to fit an office in. We ended up getting a big bookshelf thing from IKEA and using it as a room divider. This is an old picture. The apartment is much cleaner now.


My desk. I used to have a bigger one, but in the current situation it wouldnt fit.



To the right side of my desk is my girlfriends desk.

I see the girlfriend likes Arcade Fire.

Also, pertinent to much of this threads derailment: get a new chair. The moment you have to pad a chair out in that manner, it's bad for you.

She is a designer, and I was showing her the Neon Bible webpage. Which is pretty cool from a design standpoint.

Yeah, I noticed the Tablet under her monitor shelf, too, figured she might be an arty-type.

The phone is just a boring 'ol deskphone.  It usually sits out of sight on top of the macpro under the desk but I grabbed it for a conference call last friday or something like that.


Boring old deskphone? I say thee nay.

Are you homeless?

I've moved maybe 5 times in the past 8 years or so, I'm getting to the point where I don't even unpack a lot of my stuff. There's not much point in buying nice furniture when you constantly move from one apartment to the next, including cross country.
