Sun Worshipping
I almost missed today’s blog. Been a busy day so far. Here’s what I’ve got written for today.
When we were looking at buying our new house, I knew right away that if we got the house, I wanted the downstairs office. Matter of fact, I called dibs on it when we walked into the room, and I saw Pikes Peak out the window. What I wasn’t thinking was that it is the smallest room in the house, and the sun tend to come into the window in the evening times.
The small quarters are not a problem. I managed to fit my three bookshelves full of role playing books, tech manuals, fantasy books, and other misc stuff into my office. I also have my desk, desktop computer, laptop, and data CD collection in here. I also have both printers and my mini-fridge in the office. It’s a little cozy, but it’s nice to have it all in one room. If I want something that is mine, I know that it is most likely in this one room.
The thing that I don’t like about the office is the evening sun. Around 4:30 in the afternoon, it streams in on the surface of my desk, reflects off of the laminated surface of the desk, and right into my eyes. I have to close my blinds and cut off my great view from my office. Around 4:50, the sun is at enough of a different angle to no longer shine in my eyes, so I can open the blinds again. However, starting at around 5:25, the sun starts to come in directly into my eyes. I have to once again close my blinds for the remainder of the day. Once the sun goes down behind the mountains (typically 7:30ish) I can open my blinds up once again. If I remember to open them up in time, I get a great view of the sunset, though.
All-in-all, I’m happy with my office. The only thing that I would change would be to maybe make it a little bigger, so that I could fit one more bookshelf into the office. I might be able to pull that off once I get rid of my two spare desktops. That’ll free up space to move my mini-fridge, and then setup another shelf where the fridge currently is. We’ll see how it goes…
