I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have just learned from an NPR podcast that "my diamond shoes are too tight" is from a Friends episode. I did not know that.

I did! However, I have a Friends problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Email goes up on the left, other applications on the right. Works like a charm.

No no, that's all backwards!

(Actually the real reason email is on the right for me is that the right-side monitor is bigger. Main/left is the laptop screen, and I'd rather have, say, THIS window on the smaller screen in my open-plan office. Work email front and center makes me look busy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My laptop only supports one other monitor, hence it's only two for me. But fuck, I was impressed when it supported it. They drive a really high resolution, even if the laptop screen isn't that great.

Most of my coworkers don't use both screens--everyone has a laptop and a monitor.

Boy, did I cry when they took my 22 incher away. I miss that baby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have just learned from an NPR podcast that "my diamond shoes are too tight" is from a Friends episode. I did not know that.

Me too! Although I heard it over the weekend, and I may have once known it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought I had a Friends problem too! Maybe I just forgot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I run email on the smaller, left monitor. If I have to open an email, I bring over to the larger, right monitor, and arrange it with the other apps (two web browsers with multiple tabs, various Office products, DOS windows, etc). Phone's on the right side of the whole shebang.

Also irritated at:

  • People who crowd the elevator. This isn't your first time at the rodeo. Chances are decent people need to get off. Step back and give them room.

This. Also people who slow walk in groups through an office building.
