I live in a household of nerds that have all found each other and now live together like a slightly functional family. A good buddy of ours, got himself an electric desk because he works from home, he has a job that can be done from the computer (he owns the house and probably earns more than you so try not to throw shade just because he's a nerd).

I had no idea electric desks existed. They go up and down by the push of a button so you can stand or sit. Badass. I wanted to get one for my fiance/me since the desk we use is just a shitty folding table. It was so floppy my dumbass lost two keyboards because I let Toddler around the computer with liquids. Any bump would make the whole table shake then you gotta pray to God whatever is on the table doesnt spill. Luckily i found a mechanical keyboard at Goodwill. YouFu brand? never heard of them but at least i have the letter B back. Imagine using "paste" whenever you need to type a B. Ugh.

Anyways, I went the Nextdoor app (Which I stricktly use to interface with the general public in my area to trade/barter/give/get stuff i need to improve the quality of living in the house and sometimes others) and asked if anyone was willing to sell me a electric desk for 50 bucks since a new one was outside of my price range, even the cheap shitty ones. Someone hit me up and sold me one on the cheaper end of the quality spectrum, but its in great shape/ like new condition.

My house (i'm renting a room, sharing a room with my fiance and toddler, its a big room) is starting to turn from a glorified storage unit to an awesome elegant place. I cant wait till I'm done with all my project, the place is finally starting to feel awesome. Very close to becoming a master of the smaller world.

Does anyone else have a standing desk?

Well godam godam,

But he didn't clean the vomit. Instead he hid it underneath his bed. And it was all over his sheets. He slept in it for days. The vomit didn't go away until I cleaned it all for him when I had the time to one Sunday morning. And I didn't want him to get kicked out, not until I got in an altercation with him days later (but that is another story).

thats fucking disgusting, who the fuck does that?! I remember drinking my gourd out one day when i was young, puked all over, got it in my hair and hit the wall with my head. I took a fucking shower and cleaned that shit up though i couldnt walk strait. Was so embarrased, never happened again. Been sober for a bit at this point, definitely dont cope like i used to. I'm a grown ass adult damnit.

And that brings me to the joyful ending. I just put down a deposit on an apartment in exactly the neighborhood I want. It is a 10 minute walk to the gym, 5 minutes away from two meetings I attend, and about 20 minutes away from my sponsor. It is clean and nice and full of happiness and promise, and I must thank God dearly for this good fortune and having put such wonderful and fearful obstacles along my way to make the path more interesting.

Man, that makes me so happy to hear, thats awesome you found a place like that :) great to see a happy ending despite all the drama!
