This little hook is seemingly perfectly aligned right in the middle of this wall, and I just didn't want to remove it. Normally, when I move into a house that has such things remaining from previous tenants, I either go "Sweet! I don't have to measure!" and hang one of my pictures up in its place, or I rip it out if I do not like its placement. You see, the previous tenants left a picture hook in the wall of my office. Sometimes I can almost feel its absence burning a mark in the back of my head. Now that I have my own office, I more readily notice something's been missing from my office and my home for ages now. I have never really needed one since my previous jobs only allowed a very special exception for telecommuting. This is the first time I have had my own official "office" in my home. I now have six adult frogs swimming around in this tank at my desk. I even set up a small five gallon aquarium with the tadpole babies that resulted from a little tryst between my two guaranteed-to-be-the-same-sex African dwarf frogs from Brookstone (I guess some guarantees aren't nearly as assuring as others). I purchased some desk accessories - pencil cups, file organizers, and a trash can - at Ikea. I put up some pictures of my cat and dog on the desk, and it was officially an office. I found the most perfect desk chair for my needs - a lovely four-way adjustable lumbar, mesh chair with an adjustable headrest and armrests. I keep the blinds halfway up so I can watch some of the gorgeous birds that stop by throughout the year. I set my desk up to face the outside window, and my neighbors have a few bird feeders set up in their backyard. To set up my office, I purchased a glass desk from Costco. I knew that after sitting at an office desk for fifteen years, I needed to have a desk in my home office to be more productive. I took a few months break - for the first time in my life - to destress from a toxic job before I started focusing on school. Shortly after I left my job, we turned this spare room into my very own little office. In September 2012, I left my job and decided to start focusing on school and starting up a business. For about six months, the only contents in this additional room were some leftover boxes of my old miscellaneous junk and mementos. One of the spare bedrooms is used as a workout room. My partner uses one of the bedrooms as his office. It is a five-bedroom home, and it is just the two of us - my partner and I - living in the home. I have lived in the house we are renting for over two years now.
