Jarvis Standing Desks

I ordered my Uplift desk a couple weeks ago and it’s getting delivered on Friday! So excited. They were rated #1 standing desk by a few different sites. Watched some YouTube reviews and liked them. Jarvis is a close competitor.

You can build the desk on their site, everything is super customizable, from the color/material of the top and legs, to cable management, drawers (or no drawers), power outlets, accessories, heavy duty monitor arms etc. I had a little too much fun with it honestly. It was just under $1k for a 6 foot automated standing desk with a lot of bells and whistles for cabling, power, etc. If you email their customer service you can get about 6-8% off just for asking. They don’t have coupon codes currently.

There are more economical options, and you can always buy a standing desk base and add your own top (butcher block counter or a slab wood door are popular). Then you will need to seal and mount that. Not terribly hard but depends on your situation, space and tools you have on hand, etc.

I’ve had an uplift for over a year now and endorse the quality and sheer beauty of the desk. Ive been working from home over 5 years and the desk has made a huge difference in the last year. I also expensed half through D’s fitness subsidy(covers standing desks and ergonomic chairs). It was relatively easy to construct as well, I did it largely by myself.

Hi guys! 2 questions if anyone knows:
1. Can I have my home address be in a different state while my home office is in a different state?

I am allowed to work from another state on OPT but I’m concerned on whether updating my home address to a different state will raise concerns.
2. Can this out of state address be my home...

Recognize we can’t get this in Manhattan, but would we be able to find in western Brooklyn or like Astoria/LIC? Don’t want to be too far from downtown.

Ladies, do you feel like sometimes you have to pretend to "need" a guy (e.g. let him help you with something you're perfectly capable of doing, or asking him to take care of something, etc), to make him feel good? I'm pretty independent and I used to just take the lead and do things on my own, would be honest if it didn't need help. Recently I've seen/heard that guys want the feeling of being needed and being the ones to take care of a gal. I struggle with balancing this. Views/tips/advice?
