I figured it out. When I right clicked on the empty desktop there is a tab called Graphics options. Somehow the Rotate option got checked, when I moved it back to Normal the desktop view is back to normal. My taskbar is a little wider than it was though. Still trying to get that back to normal.
"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. "Sort of". It's just a filler. "Sort of" - It doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, "sort of" means everything. Like after "I love you" or "You're going to live" or "It's a boy".
