The person who set up the air ducting in our house was a crack addict. The sun-facing side of the house has two vents to distribute cool air. The shaded side has about fifty.
The person who designed my home office is a moron. Yes, I'm a moron. He put three servers, two laptops and many monitors into a small space. They all generate heat.
You've probably seen the 1 + 1 = 2 coming... my office is on the sun-facing side of the house. It gets hot. So I turn on the air conditioning.
But it doesn't cool down the office. It freezes Heather and Bitzel. Long live the thermostat wars.
Since Emme came home Heather's been living in the nursery so she can nurse without waking Ava up. Last night she came up with a "master plan" to move me in to the master suite. You see, I like the cold and she likes the hot.
Looks good on paper but it's a horrible idea. The number of wires I have stashed away in the crevices of the office is in the thousands. It's a very delicate ecosystem of electrical utilization. And the 3.5' x 8' desk isn't fun to move. And I'm busy.
So I fought the move. And lost.
Today, between calls and emails, I moved most of the office into the master suite. It's cooler. And Ava gets a dedicated playroom. And Heather will be warmer. But it was a lot of work.
The master suite looks horrible. Monitors all over the place and the bed off-center. But it works. I'm about utility.
Of course, I'm just joking about it being a horrible idea. I like change so we'll see how this works out. I like the fact that I still get to sleep in my office. Heather likes that she gets to sleep in the nursery. Equitable balance is achieved. |

Where the hec is that? Not your bedroom?
I've been banished to the basement with my office by the way. Girls got tired of me being on phone calls and them not able to play. |

CRTs are so yesterday. Try flat-panels for sophistication and a hi-tech look. |

I am feeling like my spacial organizing skills are needed at your house. Those computer screens fronting the bed are a little scary looking. But good boy for doing whatever Heather says. |

You guys should know Joe by now. If he's going to have sex, he's going to measure it, record it, quantify it, qualify it, analyze it and document it for future evaluation and improvement. That's what the computers are really doing by the bed!! |
