    Looking up ideas to make a new 3d filament rack…and seeing a lot of clearly “man putting hobby in closet so can hide to please wife”

    …so glad I’m the wife. And the resident trashpanda. And we have our own offices that the other person gets zero fucking say on.

      I don’t know what any of that means but I can tell you if you leave anything on my kitchen (my office) table it will be seriously pointed at until it is removed.

        We kinda started that with the dining table, but then, cats, north facing window, so …we just gave up.

          Cats on the table, not my thing but I understand that would be pretty hard to police.

      Isn’t respecting personal space the norm?

            nah, I’m talking about other couples I’ve observed. His Lordship and I are good. 'tis why when hunting we had a minimum three bedrooms. we can’t even share an office because his is all just “me work from home hence me have office” whereas mine is “I work from home / sew/ d print / scream at video games / build rack servers / swear at things / cats everywhere / it’s a fucking muppet workshop.”

              Bet your office is more interesting. Is his office purely functional in an IKEA bland/greige kind of way?

                I will admit he’s actually gotten more personality in the new place - mostly because we own so he can punch holes and hang his road bike and shizz. but we don’t actually tend to ikea furniture save some weird niche pieces anyway.

                I did go much much bolder in my office though, from paint to parts. I’m actually dragging my arse on putting in the network cabling because I’m making a custom wall mount patch panel based on the old servant bells layout. I want pretty dammit, and I shall have it.

              Mr Seagoon has a big office, it’s a mostly serious place because he is serious about his work and serious about work privacy. Izza job . When he has time he is welcoming .

              me, I need another desk, one for writing and one for art and crafts. Tho I have realised that much of my sewing/knitting etc is expression too as I do my own designing .

                i have a giant L desk I slapped an extension on for work / fucking around - holds my main rig, work laptop, and a kvm area with room to build servers. Then there’s an ancient and oh so sinfully comfy two seater couch thing I’ve had since last century the cats have entirely claimed, a giant workbench on the other wall, old school corner hutch / shelving for my printer - previously for sewing, but I didn’t have enough elbow room so I built a mobile table with foldout wings - and of course my massive fuckoff bookcase for stuff that’s not going in the wraparound in the lounge. Still never enough bench space. Never will be

      To be fair some of it could be ‘hobby in closet so you yourself don’t trip over it’

      I used to consider putting a small desk and folding chair inside a closet so whenever I wasn’t working on something I could just shut the door.
