figs. shelves. locking clips.
Fig tree has so many figs this year. Yesterday I picked 28 ripe ones, the most ever in a single day. I'm surprised the birds and squirrels haven't been taking more; I've only seen a few pecked on or chewed up so far.

At work, we have Haworth office furniture in the cubes. It must date back to the 1980s. At my last 2 cubes, I had readjusted the shelf over my desk down 4 notches so that it would be a good height for placing the second monitor. I use the lower monitor when sitting, and the top monitor when standing. That way I can stand up when I get tired of sitting.
As we were moved again this month, I wanted to readjust the shelf in my new cube the same way. But when I tried, I couldn't get the shelf to pull free from the rails. It didn't come loose even when I removed the middle part, and tried pulling out each side panel on its own. There was a small metal clip stuck into the top notches, which seemed to be locking the panels in place. I tried pulling and twisting the clips, but wasn't able to get them out. The next day, I had the idea to push up on the bottom of the shelf while pulling on the clip with a pair of pliers. That way I got them out. Then it was fairly easy to readjust the shelf downwards.
