sumi, could you get some kind of desk toy that moves? (electric or battery-powered) Something that would foil the evil sensors so you can sit quietly without having the lights turn themselves off.

What a good idea. I'll have to see what that could be. . . or perhaps a miniature trebuchet so that I could have a nice tool to toss things at the sensor.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We had those sensor lights in our office for a while. Our problem was that our office is long and narrow, and the sensor only covered half of it, so if we were sitting in the other half, then when the lights went off, we'd have to get up and walk over to the other side to get them to turn back on.

We had weird bathroom sensors at the last college I taught at whereby, if you were wearing black, you might walk into the bathroom, but the light would not turn on.

If that was my office, I'd sit in the dark working by the light of my computer monitor.

But I like caves.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Awsome, vw! I just bought the khaki skirt! I love the purple, too.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I worked at t a school that had those types of sensors. During a test classes would be so still the lights would go off sometimes. The same would happen if a teacher stayed in their room during planning or after school. We adapted a crazy kind of arm wave to get the lights to turn back on. It worked but I'm sure it looked stupid to anyone who didn't know what we were doing.
