I went crazy at work last week and made them take the horrible lcd monitor away, for it was causing me to feel headachey.
They gave me back the old beast. Increasing resolution made everything too small and hurt my eyes and head. Decreasing it made everything blurry. When I called the help desk about it they asked if I couldn't just get used to it.
Which sent me into a rage and I demanded my old square monitor back. I said that when my job was to watch DVDs all day, I'd get the huge lcd. And not until.
But now my computer logs me off the net if i walk away from it after 15 minutes, and i dunno why.
Timelies all!
It's hot here. If walking from my car to the condo(with a stop to get the mail) can make my skin radiate heat like a furnace, you know it's hot.
From the Panda article --
Guo Guo appeared flustered by her crying cubs at first and reserve staff had to intervene when she accidentally dropped one of her babies the day they were born,
oh, like that's never happened to a human mom!
they asked if I couldn't just get used to it.
They need to be attacked by ergonomizers.
I've been offered an LCD monitor, but, frankly, replace 22" and 2048x1536 resolution? I don't know if that's on the LCD market, and if it is, they certainly can't afford it. So my beast is eating desk space and forcing me to sit in the hallway.
But I get just as many headaches with LCDs and lower res displays, so I know it's not that. I still wear my reading glasses, just in case.
What's something that's made you smile in the last few days?
In a sense-of-accomplishment way, getting my eight loads of laundry done on Saturday. In a oh-that's-so-cute way, watching my cat attack the leg of her condo last night (she was lying on her back, with the back feet clawing the top of the post and her front paws at the bottom, so she was balancing on the top part of her spine while her claws were feverishly scratching away). Better that than my couch.
Yes on hybrid convertibles.
A hybrid convertible would, sadly, be an absolute waste of money for me. It'd end up getting exactly the same gas mileage I get now.

Oz pretty consistantly makes me smile. Last night, he was burrowing under the covers to clean our feet, coming out of the covers to clean Max's ears and then going back for more feet. He had a little trouble getting back under them and was standing on my back using his ginormous paws to try to haul the blankets off. Puppies are always good for a smile.

I seriously thought at first you meant the tv show. I was like, "mmm... shanking and fucking..."
ION, No, Jude, NOOOO!
OMG! This is a dedicated guy. He stabbed a fellow prisoner in a holding cell at the Utah federal courthouse with a 3-inch shank (I'm so amused with the website's "look, we know the slang!" continual use of shank in the story).
Thompson said Vanderstappen smuggled the shank out of the state prison in Draper and into the federal courthouse inside a body cavity.
You'd think they'd have noticed the very careful posture, but the guy is a white supremicist--being sentenced for stabbing a prisoner a few months earlier, by the way--so he probably always stands very stiffly.
