My new job has a $500 wfh stipend I need to use within 30 days of my start date. I have a button standing desk, an ergo chair (it’s not Herman Miller but I’ve never noticed discomfort), a monitor that’s an older dell model with off color accuracy and sits on a stand. Have a keyboard, mouse, intuos tablet, iPad. I do motion graphic illustration etc. Any suggestions? An Apple Watch? lol
