Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eyestrain like that is a health issue that must not be ignored. Time to report it to your boss as well as your tech support. Don't work with that monitor anymore.

I've been rather insistent, but not getting a lot of reaction. Which is usual.
Did I mention yet another bigwig in the IT group resigned this week?
doubt it's exclusively American enough to warrant that.
Oh hell that never stopped us. Apple pie was invented in ancient Egypt. We stole hotdogs and hamburgers are from Germany (though Germany did not invent the latter) as well as covered wagons. Calling other people's stuff "American' is pretty par for the course. Ask any American Indian about that one.
Before or after they wandered over the land bridge from Asia?
Ask any American Indian about that one.
I was trying to work out what to call a "Canadian Indian" over here. In Montreal, it was pretty simple: First Peoples. But no one here gets that. "American Indian" is twitchy, "Native American" still makes it sound like a USian thing. Short of going straight to Ojibwe, I wasn't sure what to say. He, BTW, just called himself "Indian" but I can't be sure how much he was joshing.
I haven't found anything via Google about "Imposter Complex" aside from people bitching that they have it.
Is this real? A reality series about women in a bookclub?
ita, I have heard from some such people who prefer the term "American Indian" because that was the term used in the treaties with the US government, and they wanted those treaties honored. That is more or less the extent of my experience.
I do wonder that "First Peoples" hasn't caught on at all in the States.

Document, document, document. Also think about how head-achey and/or sight-impaired you are willing to get before you go to OSHA, then let your boss know that, too.
Sorry if that comes across as too strident, but this issue is one of my hot buttons.
that was the term used in the treaties with the US government,
But Canadian First Peoples didn't have treaties with the US government. So what does one call them here, where First Peoples just creates confusion?
Oh, I found it under Imposter Syndrome. I love how many complexes and syndromes are all made up to describe "neurotic."
But hey! It looks like according to Caltech, extraodinarily gifted people tend to suffer from "imposter syndrome."
WhatEV.
