Hell yea. Time to bill

I bought a YESHOMY off Amazon about a month ago that has been good so far! It’s nothing fancy, just a simple standing desk. And wasn’t too hard to put together.

I got one from Costco for $250 (showing at $329 online right now). It’s an electronic sit/stand. The biggest drawback is that it’s a glass top, so easier to scratch and most negative reviews are from people who had it shipped to them. It’s on the small side too, but I needed that for my space.

I'd recommend some kind of timber or particle board top though... easier to mod and add other things to.

I have one from here. I got the one where you can program 3 heights (which is great - makes it super convenient to switch to stand/sit). Also includes an activity timer where you can have it beep every so often to remind you to modify the height. That feature is easy to turn on/off and change the number of minutes.

Zen Space Desk for anyone in Australia. It's not cheap but it's got the best cable management I've seen yet.

A$1200 + add ons = so worth it.

Amazon has some great ones!!

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us. All advice welcome!
