space

The fact that I have three desktops and two laptops on my desk right now makes me feel like a total geek. And you know what the really geeky thing is? The Mac is at home, which is a good thing given that there's no longer any room on my desk. To be honest, there actually is enough room on my desk for a sixth computer. The truth is that my desk is in such a serious state of disarray that I can't actually see the space. Sometimes when we can't see the space, we like to pretend that it doesn't exist.

The question I have is, were you using them all at once?

Yesterday morning, I had my two desktop units and my laptop running simultaneously. Working on the coalition website, updating my server and editing photos at the same time can be gruelling--especially when it needs to get done.

The idea of getting space was very desirable at times that I almost invoked a swip of the hand on a couple of occasions. Add two more computers to what I had and I probably would have done it.

The reality for me is, I can't pretend enough that I don't have space. No matter how much is blocking it, I know it is there. This is probably the reason that I often have a bad attitude when I can't see or touch it.

I actually wasn't using them all at once, although I'd poked around at most of them throughout the day. I was, however, logged into other machines from those machines, so that ups the numbers a little! (I do most of my work on Unix hosts.)

I like what you said there about knowing the space is there but having a bad attitude when you can't see it or touch it. It's almost like in those cases we are really faced with the reality of dealing with how we create our own suffering.

Very good point. I didn't even think of it this way. There has to be a way to come to peace about so much on my desk at one time? On good days I am OK with it. On bad days I am completely frustrated. I just need to learn to be good with alot in front of me.
