I have a plastic container under my desk that I have convinced myself is a good footstool, and a stack of containers to either side of me that I have convinced myself make good side tables.
Now I just have to convince myself that it isn't a pain in the glutes to clear them off every time I want to get something out, or put it away.
It is just all in my head, you see. It is .. just .... all ...... in ........ my ................ uh, yeah.

When my self and my wife where looking for a house to buy, I had 2 criteria.
1) the rooms must be high. Like way bigger than me high. I'm 6'2" , doorways are about a foot higher, then about 2' above that to the ceiling. All in all the room is near to 10' tall
2) we had a big loft space. And we do. In the centre the height is close to that of the rooms below.
The reason for number 1, is I have a false ceiling in my office now, well sort of anyway. I've put extra joists accross, then put loft boards coming out about 3' on all 4 walls.
I have a small pair of step ladders, and all my gear is sorted into labeled, plastic tuff crates, inside each crate are a variety of different schemes, some none, some 2 or 3 fishing tackle boxes.
When I want something, I step on my step ladders, lift the box down onto my desk, get the item I want, then put the box back.
The false ceiling is way above head height so doesn't impact normal use of the room.
As for the loft, I have that loft boarded from front to back, and I've panneled off the roof trusses with ply board, put small shelf units in them, I crawl in to defined openings, small pull chord light in there, those are my storage cupboards, in the center, I have a 19" rack with my servers in and a sturdy work bench at one end where I can work on things to heavy for my office desk.
The only problem I have, is that, as I get older, I start to hurt more climbing up and down ladders all the time.

Hi All,
Back at Work facing Dilbert hell. I need a KPI number to be issued a Laptop & ID Credentials fine apart from the fact I need a company email to request a PKI, which can't come from any other account (it has been tried). So to get on to the system as a new starter I need to use my company email to request a PKI, but I can' get a PKI until I use a system that I can't use until PKI , whats worse is I need to use my company phone (which you guessed it I need a PKI to be issued with to get the access code for the task on Monday). At the monent they have me using a surface that isn't connect to anything, even the web. so Monday I am lightly to be standing outside (hopefully not in the rain) trying to do a job that has been needed since last year and very shortly to incure penalty fees Because the Covid restrictions caused everyone panic about security.

Are you permanent or contracting? If the latter then things may not run smoothly (voice of experience).

To be honest I though it was a contract, they seem to think its permanent...

There's a reason why the words "onboarding" and "waterboarding" are so similar.

In companies I've worked in, there is a buddy assigned to support in all these issues. In fact I've also been a buddy to a new joinee, and have helped him in all such things.

Funny, My week started by shipping a laptop to a new hire. (non-programmer role) She is an admin working from home and can install whatever she wants on it. I like to keep things simple for myself.
The unwanted challenge now facing me is training and keeping the new hire busy while getting my own work done! I didn't agree with this hire...it was a done deal before I was 'asked'.

I once ran across the same catch 22 BS, go park on the head of HRs desk and tell him you are being paid x$ per hour to do nothing.
I can relate to the unconnected Surface, they gave me an unconnected 386 (in the days of the pentium). At which point I returned to HR and repeated the exercise, took 2 weeks to get set up (the contract was for 1 month)
