I have something along the lines of the file drawer unit here: [link]

It's not cheap, but it completes the desk and I can move it from under the desk when I need more desk space.

Mmm, beer.

Now I shall pretend to work for a few more hours until it is time again for more beer.

cereal...

I just got the following in email, and it made me smile and think how shrift can totally ignore all the "try saying" suggestions, today.

These look great, bon, except the small ones all have wheels, and that'd look weird in my living room.

::twiddles thumbs::

Man, except for being so cheap it broke easily, the Target one I had was perfect. It didn't look like a filing cabinet.

I wish I could afford a place in the neighbourhoods I like with an actual extra room, so I don't have to hide it so.

Hmmm.

If Bush's approval numbers carry over to the congressional candidates, the housecleaning should be like unto the French Revolution. According to CBS News 1/3 of voters polled think of the upcoming elections as a chance to vote against Bush.

Hope you are right. But, Cunningham race in California. Randy stole pretty specifically from U.S. troops. (He took bribes as member of Defense Appropriation Committe; the bribes he took, by themselves would have provide a heck of a lot body armor, not to mention what what he gave in contracts would have provided.)

So the Democrat in the race got 44% of the vote; good shot to win in June (her next opponent go 15%, but all Republicans combined got over 54% of vote in that race; on the other hand it is the Democratic Governors primary in June, so higher Democratic turnout, so good shot of switching the seat; but not certain.)

So if the Democrats can't turn a race like that into a cakewalk, how are they going to defeat a bunch of Republican incumbents with all the advantages incumbency brings. I'm sure the Democrats will pick up seats - but take either house? Well, may it happen, but I'm not betting on it - especially with Republican control of many voting machines, and DLC strategists crippling the Democratic side.

ita, too bad I'm not out in LA; one of the things I'm donating is the two-drawer file cabinet I got from the first bookstore I worked at, when they shut the store down.

I got my 3 drawer metal filing cabinet for $6 at a university surplus auction. It's not beautiful, but it's not fugly either.

I've got hang and focus this weekend. I need to hit the road very soon to go pick up color and templates.

Oh, and I have to remove everything from my kitchen this weekend (including the 3'x5' drafting table) so people can rip out the sink and all the cabinets on Monday.

Taunter!

Well, I was going to say, "Too bad you're not in Chicago," but you're just too much of a California girl now to wish the Midwest on you!

you're just too much of a California girl now to wish the Midwest on you!

I take my accusation back--you are very kind.
