Exactly that, yes

No but seriously, the majority of my job is on video calls, now that face to face meets are restricted, so I use the light to keep the white balance and lighting controlled for them.

So you're discouraged from having face to face meetings?

Not discouraged, not able to expense them except for certain situations.

I.e. you can if you pay for yourself

Are you referring to the white shelf thing?

Yes. Is it a self constructed jobby?

Yeah it’sa couple of IKEA Lack shelves with Capita legs screwed in.

Wanted something plain and simple and this did the job.

The legs have black plastic on the bottom so I use non slip pads to stop them moving around

Wow. That is really dumb. Face to face meetings are so much more effective, in my experience. Although I suppose the flip side is you can have more meetings if there's no travel involved.

I deliver a lot of CPDs and the online ones are a fraction as effective as the in-person ones.

Quality over quantity IMO. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the meetings I can do online but it’s pretty grim being in a sales role talking to a webcam for 5+ hours a day at times.

But the company must not see any negative impact so

For those with felt desk pads, how do you find them? Are they 'itchy' to the touch? Does the mouse move well over them?
Is there anything specific you would recommend?

@LiE tagging you in as I'm sure I've seen one in your photos...

I should be ashamed, shouldn't I. I'm not. Hideous mess.

If you know, you know

Mine hasn't changed much since last time, new amp, better use of desk space etc

And tidy cabling :cool:

Apologies for bumping this thread.
I am looking to get a stand up desk and transform my current layout but struggling with finding a sensible solution for the width I am wanting to go to,

Best to stick req's in here for assistance? Or best to start a new thread, if so, which sub forum is best as I'm struggling to find one related to the topic of big wood.

They aren't itchy and mouse moves fine yes, not quite as good as a proper gaming surface but that's expected.

Fully Jarvis is what I'd recommend regardless, expensive but worth it.

I went for a Flexiform E6 I think it was (legs, motor, etc). Then bought a kitchen worktop to go on top that I oiled etc. Allows you to specify the dimensions as the legs, etc are adjustable.
