      Partly posting this because I love those little nuggets of local lore, and partly so I can share this local fact that I just discovered.

      My city's cathedral has this amazing double-bowl copper font (different angle here) which I had assumed was ancient - the cathedral is almost 1000 years old - but it turns out that until 1994 these bowls were being used at a local chocolate factory to make caramel to go inside Rolos and was gifted to the church when the factory closed.

      It's six months and I haven't spent it yet.

      What do I need that I don't realize I need?

      I already have multiple monitors, keyboards, etc. Separate headphones (that I don't use because I don't need to shut the door often), microphone (doesn't make a difference), and other obvious tech toys. I bought a new UPS right before I started the job.

      It's a nice problem to have: "I don't need anything." But surely I should spend money on SOMEthing?
