Luckily, I came back and used the wonderful resource that is the internet and found A.I. Friedman, only 9 blocks away. There I found a glass-topped desk that could be delivered within hours. Perfect!
So instead of souffle, I present to you my new base of operations:

Smashing, no? Smashable too. Please don’t smash my desk, it’s glass. Unless you want to get married. I am Jewish, after all.

If you smash a glass desk, I think you end up married to your work.
Mazel tov!
