So, my back gets messed up periodically, and I find it uncomfortable to sit at a desk for any period of time. I have a standing desk at work, but I needed to work at home yesterday and today, and not surprisingly, by lunchtime yesterday my hip had pretty much locked up. I tried to stand at the kitchen counter, but it was too low.
Et voila, the solution (photo attached): pan, turned upside down. Handles aren't completely flat, so rotated pan so they stuck out over edge of countertop and sink. Silicone potholder to prevent slippage. Laptop. Plug below. Happy Laura, less pissed-off-back. ;-)
