Just putting it on top. Should there be anything put between the original desk and this top?
The plan is to use some cutoffs to create a ‘frame’ so it cannot move (3 hidden sides) and also to then create essentially a clamp under there as well so it is reasonably stable.
This is not meant to be furniture quality, just nice and large enough for me to enjoy in my basement office and to support multiple computer monitors.
It starts with across the board tariffs, then an industry goes to him and says this hurts us, so here is a donation to one of your PACs, or we’ll buy some of your crypto coin and you give us an exemption. And lo and behold a reason is found to not have a tariff on that product or just for that company.
You state “Getting certs is part of what is required for me to get bigger raises and get promoted and all that jazz.” So this is not a required part of your CURRENT position. If you want a better position, you will need to invest in yourself, using some of your own time. Sounds like the employer is already paying for the courses and tests, the rest is now up to you.
Do not go in to your meeting with a bad attitude, you will just piss off your boss. Accept that if you want a promotion and higher pay that you are going to have to give up some personal time to get there. Remember, they’ve already given you time, and you failed, multiple times from what you wrote, so now it is time for you to hunker down and do it on your own time.

(From the Colossal Adventure, played on a multi million $ mainframe, when at uni. Probably in the 5-8 yrs before Doom timeframe)
Years ago, the federal government had a cell phone contract that provided unlimited voice, text, Canada wide LD and 1Gb of data for ~$25/month with no extra fees (no startup, SIM, e911 etc) and with a monthly threshold when using more data which raised the rate JUST for that month in $5 increments capped at $50/month for unlimited data. I would guess their current plan is better
Let me clarify the ‘warehouse’ was in the local compound and was a glorified large shed. Staff went through everything every spring to confirm that all food stuffs were within date, and would be during the year. The blankets/sleeping bags were not chewed up by local mice, and that no equipment had gone missing since the previous year. Also anything mechanical was tested to ensure it would work.
Maybe things are different today, but my old and limited experience is that during a fire, there were warehouses with pre-prepared pallets for x number of people with basic foods and equipment. Sometimes management would run to the local small town store and clean them out to send some fresh food to the line, but realize it was still a small town store with extremely limited selection/stock.
Catering? in the middle of nowhere?
This sounds a lot like the Brexit commentary when it was being started.
Thanks to all for replying to my original request. Decided on using the finish from the above link (ENCurtis - youtube).
Not as many choices of woods around here as in large cities, I went with a cherry plywood, and the edges are a simple D shaped pine trim. After starting and making mistakes along the way, needing to sand it back down to bare wood and restarting, I got the top done. The trim pieces were a challenge as I 1) have never done any woodworking, so 2) have no tools, materials, or experience. Went through 6 different test pieces to get them finished. Since the trim is made of pine, the grain was very different than the cherry, so any finish that brought out the grain just made it look disjointed. Ended up finding Polyshades and that was what worked for me.
Next summer, will try to make a keyboard tray for this desk… Wish me luck!
