• Get one of those cheap locker mirrors. When she starts staring, try and line it up to wherever she's looking (probably your face). (Or just start wearing this around her.)
  
• Pretend like you are speaking to her in sign language. Or even better, learn some phrases, like:
  
  
  • "Stop being rude."
    
  • "Your hair looks very muddy today." (I'm sorry, I thought I was saying your hair is brown.)
    
  • "What time is your funeral?" (I was asking what time is the march?) (I looked that one up under signs that are close but not the same.)
    
• Treat her like one of those weird paintings whose eyes follow you wherever you go.
  
• See how many of these you can get away with. Bonus: Never actually look at her while doing it. You can always pretend like you were joking with that person that just left the room -- sorry you missed them, MIL!

Number of the same mini lockers on Amazon

you can get one of these https://www.amazon.com/Durham-308-95-Rolled-Compartment-Height/dp/B006WQP46Q/ and the parts "drawers" that go with it like these https://www.amazon.com/Durham-107-95-IND-Rolled-Individual-Compartment/dp/B006WQBNGG/. and put it on a rolling cart.

Maybe this is a silly or not so silly idea for your closet?

Was wanting to see if something simple would work so I could put up comics and easily change them out. Trying to get a little bookshop vibe going in my office. Looked at spinner racks, quite a bit out of budget but this fit the bill when I searched for “comic book rack”.

How much money do you have to spend on this project?

The Stack-On are pretty cheap, but admittedly do not have combination locks, but I suspect you could easily add a Combination Padlock and keep the key lock unlocked.

There are a range of School-type Lockers that could be locked with a combination padlock.

I think the CheapLockers link is Australia, but I'm sure similar school lockers are available from other sources. At this point I am simply presenting concepts.

Home Depot actually has a pretty large selection of storage cabinets.

The Amazon link above is a 48" locker for about $87. Do you have guns longer than 48".

For additional security, the Amazon Locker could be bolted or screwed to the floor, or very bolted/screwed to the wall.

If you go to the Stack-On Website and select "Safes and Security", under Lock Type, you can choose Combination Lock -

I suspect the price of these is going to be a bit higher.

Again, how much do you have to spend and how far do you want to take it?

It's one thing...one tiny ring...that doesn't even rule them all

This is just ugly

Why are these $60?

Way under $10,000 from my WL

Over 10K? Fancy!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Bed size--I'm kind of between twin and full at the moment. Strictly speaking, a twin is more than I personally need. As a grown up, I feel like a full is more appropriate for cases where I'm not sleeping alone but honestly I have a small enough footprint that another person probably could share a twin with me.

I definitely think your suggestion is a better look "on paper" than the plan I currently have in my bed (with the L-shaped desk turned 90 degrees "clockwise," having the monitor and keyboard facing the bottom-right corner in reference to the layout you shared), but unless I set something up on a partition like you suggested I wouldn't be able to watch TV from bed which is important to me.

Regarding the divider, though, it's a really intersting idea. The one you listed looks great. This shelf was ~$50 on Amazon last week and I saw similar ones at Lowes for about $70, worst-case, I could do something like that for a similar effect as a divider, maybe?

I should note that with the two closets and a decent storage solution in them, I would probably have enough storage for nearly all of my things. If my 'working on computers' side job starts to produce a lot of clutter, I could move some of it to the outside shed or the attic. So the divider doesn't necessarily need to have incorporated storage. I'll look into cubicle walls, that's a neat idea.

How about a cute mirror!

How about some cute binders for storing paperwork like this or this or this.

A cute little notepad for jotting things down.

Fun file folders.

These push pins are sooooo cute!

Hi, got sent here by the randomizer.

Is cell phones in school that big of a problem?

Where I work, in some areas, cell phones are not permitted. Also not permitted are cameras, anything with recording capability, ipods and fit bit type things, USB flash drives, anything w/ wifi or bluetooth. We have little cubby lockers, just put phone in there:

https://www.amazon.com/Hallowell-Cell-Phone-Tablet-Locker/dp/B00K8WV9ZK

You want to play with your phone, wait til break time and do it outside. Besides, rooms are shielded, phones have no service anyway.

At other locations, it's not just a security issue but a matter of physical safety. In addition to phones and wifi/bluetooth gadgets, key fobs, garage door openers etc, anything that can transmit a signal is not permitted.

It's really not a big deal, you get used to it (I leave it to your imagination as to where I work)

You cant just stash the phones (quarantine) somewhere until after class?

Though not the exact one I use something like this for holding multiple records on my stand.

Something like these, depending on what you're trying to do. I guess I should've phrased it as some kind of container for your manuals/boards. They don't necessarily have to be folders, but it does make it easier to find things.

There's quite a few options on Amazon!

Just spent the last hour with our Director of Public Relations showing him how to rectify sync errors with cloud storage... Imagine someone who saves Everything and has been in this position 20+ years. Never mind that I've walked him through this twice before, there are still hundreds of sync errors.


After walking through twice how to move the files to the desktop, drag them into the web browser, fix any errors and reupload, then confirm that they sync back down to the offline copy, he then asks me to sync the cloud to his laptop... Great, yeah we can do that but you will only get what is syncing so remember to fix the sync errors...


Pull out laptop, download cloud app, computer prompts for Apple ID password...
PR Director: "Oh, now that's another question..."
PR Director: Reaches over to 10-Panel desktop reference, flips to page Clearly Marked "PR Passwords"...

PR Director: "Here we go." Types in password...
Me: Face Flushed, SMH...

If I was half the BOFH as I could be, all the news outlets would be getting an urgent notice from us some time next month...
