My office occasionally becomes so cluttered and dysfunctional I’d rather work elsewhere.
Shame.
It’s a great room. I know because it’s functional now. The spring cleaning has made it through this second floor room
This is the room I fantasized about as a boy. Seriously. I didn’t know the shape my computer would be or exactly what it would do, but I knew I’d have one some day.
When I grew up computers were immense and had staffs attending to them. Expensive. Uncommon.
I used to read almanacs and the encyclopedia. A gift of an atlas from Helaine was very special. Now, it’s all at my fingertips.
My boyhood imagination’s office of today had blinking lights. Done. This place is crazy with blinking lights! They’re tiny and there are no Nixies, but they blink in patterns I can’t discern. That’s the part that counts.
How often do your childhood fantasies come true?
Congrats on having such a room where your childhood fantasies came true. Indeed, that is very special. The true blessing is that you are aware of it.
I am lucky enough to do what I love for a living. I’ve always wanted to work with animals; decided to become a groomer when I was ten. I still love my work – wish I could make a better living doing it – hoping the economy turns around before I’m too old to do it anymore. That said, there is a special joy in having a childhood dream at your fingertips.
Where is the ham radio gear? Looks to me that’s the only thing missing from your office.
Please send to my house who ever cleaned up that room…
That’s wonderful, Geoff! unfortunately, I can’t even remember what my childhood fantasy was ! LOL
Nixie tubes? Boy that brings back memories. Our Grundig radio had one on it. My Pentron reel to reel single track tape recorder had one too. I loved it. Time moves in though.
