How the mighty (monitor stands) have fallen

  • Artikkeli

My monitor stand, which I had to assemble on my own when we got a good deal on monitors with no stands, started having problems. The knob which bears the weight of the monitor gave out and caused the monitor to tilt away from me, making it hard to read and impossible to use.

I needed a quick fix to get it stablized:

I find it ironic that I, as a OneNote tester, had to use sticky notes to hold it in place. But at least it is flat, level and at the right eye level.

Sigh. It looks bad.

Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,

John

    No, not Kanban.  What we have is an office supply room stocked with standard supplies and sticky notes are available there (these are recycled notes, by the way).  The rooms are open to all employees and you can just grab what you need which is really nice.  Other companies sometimes have this type of stuff locked.  Another example of this is that I use a ream of paper as a monitor stand to raise a second monitor I have to eye level.

    No way - the non-contiguous colors provide a tiny bit of contrast and interest to this jury rigged monstrosity...
