It's been an interesting year with the various lockdowns and changes to how we operate as a business. Zoom has become quite the normal thing for many people. Thankfully, we were ahead of the curve on that as we had used Zoom for years to talk with, see, and share screens to clients throughout the US.
If you've followed me for a while, you likely know that I make various videos on Web Design and SEO (I've stayed away from Web Hosting videos for years, but maybe that'll change). And we had a Facebook Live that ran every Friday for over 2 years, which was usually about 30-45 minutes long.
Well, since we've been working more from home than at our actual office, we decided to take our living room, located upstairs, and move the TV and couches downstairs to where the fireplace is (and was our Facebook Live "studio").
Our office has been in the dining area (10'x12') as we never use that table, so we replaced it with our work desks.
The upstairs living room is approx 15' x 23' - nice big area, and that's now become our "new office area".
Both of our new desks are sit/stand electric motor desks. This is helpful both to avoid sitting all day, but also in videos. Standup videos or meetings are generally shorter. Try having a standing meeting with a client (even on phone) and you'll find the meeting moves much quicker).
So, without further ado, check out the attachment of "my desk area". When I get the video lighting etc setup, I'll snag another picture, but for now, welcome to the new backdrop of my videos moving forward

PS - yes, the desk is turned around. My monitor attaches to the desk and the desk top area is 6" thick, so the clamps from the monitor can't fit - most monitors are 3-4" clamps. So we flipped the desk around and attach where the keyboard drawer is. Writing/Desk pad will cover the "hole" where my hands are --- that's actually a power strip area.
