Home-bound modular design question

[wm3798]

Mmmm.  That's more of a bad desk design than a layout design problem...  A desk with a movable top??  How absurd!  I mean, where would you keep your coffee cups, a stack of back issues of MR, a pile of empty decoder envelopes, four unfinished hopper car projects, a zip lock baggie full of old decals, 74 pots of craft paints, your old pair of glasses, a pocket flask full of cheap bourbon, 35 cassettes of new wave and punk bands, a wrist watch with a broken band (I need to fix that), 223 coupler springs, three months of Playboy from 1987, a pile of car cards...

You get the idea...

I've always said, a neat desk is the sign of an idle mind...

I've always said, a neat desk is the sign of an idle mind...

Then my mind is certainly not idle. As long as I keep the tracks (of the desktop) waxed, the top and all its tall piles and stacks, the flat panel monitor on its swing arm that's clamped to the back edge, and my full coffee cup move quietly along without a hitch or spilled drop. And there's space to hide small parts and works in progress from the cats below. I just may have to move the desk away from the window. But where once I could simply lift my eyes to check out passers-by (wink, wink) moving past my window, my movements to do so would then become much more suspect.
