PSA: that one crazy week where my desk setup fell apart and I lost two days of work
Last month I had a week that was just brutal. My monitor arm gave out on Monday morning, dropped my 27 inch screen right onto my keyboard. Took out the spacebar and the 'n' key. Then my cable raceway peeled off the underside of my desk because the adhesive gave up in the summer heat. I spent Tuesday rewiring everything with those magnetic cable clips from the hardware store instead. By Wednesday my chair started squeaking like crazy, turned out a bolt had worked loose on the gas lift. I ended up grabbing a used monitor and a cheap keyboard from a guy on Facebook Marketplace for 40 bucks. That whole week taught me to check the cheap parts before they fail. Anyone else had a stretch where it felt like your whole setup was out to get you?

What part of it was the absolute worst for you, the humidity or the constant repairs?
