That was my first thought too, but I'm living in a glass house on this one. I'm sure at scale cable management saves time and frustration but for home / office use I find it to be cosmetically pleasing but frankly that it makes doing anything / changing things / adding things / moving things more of a PITA. I find myself justifying poor cable management more and more.

This isn’t anything near what I’d call an ideal setting, and thus what I have is “oh well it doesn’t literally burst into flames right now”, more or less.

I like the overloaded power strip balanced on top of the heater, really ties the whole disaster together

Ok, I was trying to be on your side about this situation, but this is next level - like human spider web, trying to get gold on /r/cablegore type insanity.

With a setup like that I’m guessing you rent

Technically no, but for most intents and purposes yes. That office is literally a closet for clothes and there’s not much we can do about that, but we desperately need an office.

Once we can afford one I’m planning to have an actual electrician do real wiring. It’s ironically very illegal to do that yourself which means I have to use off the shelf crap, because electricians are not cheap.
