Office Cleanup

Sometimes it seems like I have so many projects and so little time to do them. But I figured out last weekend why that is. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to start projects because as soon as I start them I have to finish them or I get annoyed. I just can't leave them alone until they are completely done. So last weekend I had 4 days off work and we decided to use the time to clean out our office which had become less office and more junk room. Thanks to some generous Christmas presents from my parents and my grandparents (Thank you so much!!!) we were able to purchase some items to organize ourselves easier. We got a storage unit to put in the garage for Kevin's tools. We got some plastic boxes we can put in the garage so we could get stuff out of cardboard boxes and they'd be safe from bugs. And we got some shelves that match my craft table that Kevin stained and put up. WE also rearranged the furniture in that room and it looks great. Here are some before and after pictures.

I love having open space. It's so much nicer and so much more inviting. Now I can get some stuff done in there. I also spent some time using my new carpet cleaner so my living room carpet is SO much cleaner. So nice.

It is so fun when you can organize the way you want. I love all the things available now to help make that easier and a little cheaper too. Look great. Congrats

Your office looks great!


In response to your comment, that does make sense that charging a fee would discourage hackers. But I still think it's ridiculous I had to pay $38 for my copied records, and that I wans't allowed to read Audrey's, especially since none of the doctors were talking to me. The nurse did explain that I may not understand everything that was in the records so that's why I couldn't read it. (personally I thought that was condescending.) Imagine if the records wasn't viewed as "theirs" but as joint ownership with the patient (or patient's mother in this case) and that the nurse went through the records with me to help me understand the course of what happened. That certainly wouldn't increase any risk of privacy infringement, but it would increase patient understanding. But instead I have to order the records for a excessive fee and read them at home when I won't have anyone there to help me understand them. It's just not a logical argument.

I guess I've always been a person who hates rules and thinks I should be an exception to the rules. :)
