In my office is a book case. Well, there are more than one, but I’m looking at the tall one on the other side of my desk. Given its position, it’s my “show, not use” book case.
On the top is my “museum of old computer stuff.” A 286 motherboard. A 20Mb hard drive. A 2400b modem. A 720k floppy drive. A very early Microsoft mouse (with a steel ball).
I an historian at heart. I would never throw these things away. They are now cool.
Also on top is my Construction Safety Equipment Because I Work For An Engineering Firm, Dammit. That includes two hard hats and a pair of safety goggles.
Also, there’s a Birth Day picture of Katherine in a cute little “daughter” frame.
And a company frisbee.
And a clock whose battery wore down about nine months ago.
Understand me better now?
I’ll save the other shelves for another time.
