Commissioner Beketov 8,642 Posted March 30, 2021 Commissioner Share Posted March 30, 2021 Legit question for the masses: should I swap out my computer desk for one we’re getting rid of at work? This is my is current setup: This is the one from work (plus a set of alex drawers for the other side): It’s about the same width (1” less) but 6” deeper; I’d be able to fenagle it into the same space. Would lose the extra L piece but that kinda makes the space feel claustrophobic as is. Just trying to decide if I’d realistically have enough space. Opinions?

Commissioner Beketov 8,642 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Commissioner Share Posted March 31, 2021 Just now, BOOM said: Where are you going to put the lamp and other stuff if losing the L piece? Everything in that corner section wouldn’t be an issue, that’s counted in my “same width” part and I have 6 extra inches of depth. So that’s the lamp, 2 external hard drives, an Ethernet switch, and my Astro mixamp. The actual stuff on the L part is my concern. That’s mainly the PS4, controllers, and some general decoration. I do have a small glass shelf on there ya the PS4 fits under so my hunch says I could put the stuff from the corner on top of the shelf, the PS4 underneath it, and the controllers in a drawer (which I would have but don’t currently) and then decorations could go on a shelf.

Eynhallow 412 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 If the corner of the new desk protrudes beyond the edge of the doorway, you will be gouging yourself on a regular basis. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorlab 4,321 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think the work desk looks way better tbh. Glass desk is 70s shit. Unless you're doing cocaine off that jawn, let it go. mattyIceman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The puck is the best thing to come out of Turgeon’s episode. Great career, boring story. But yes, working in an NHL based doc does have its perks. Sadly I haven’t gotten to cut any episodes the last couple of seasons or I’d potentially have the likes of Alex Burrows in there. There are some other big name guys (Dan Boyle for example) that we did but I didn’t cut so I don’t have a puck for him. mediocrepony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik 4,113 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Personally I'd keep what you've got, but if you're looking for more space and the work desk accomplishes that, I'd suggest floating shelves for the stuff that you need to migrate, if you can (I'm big on using walls to free up floor space lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissioner Beketov 8,642 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Commissioner Share Posted April 2, 2021 @GrittyIsKing09 since you mentioned the pucks, here’s all of them: I do have an extra case for the three on top now, I just need to actually get them into it. Turgeon is two to the right of the big case, Biron is one to the left. The three in the big case probably aren’t the most valuable by far (Barnaby on the left, Daze in the middle, Momesso on the right) but they are from the first three episodes I ever cut so they get preferential treatment. mediocrepony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
