Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

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.

- 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.

The alternative is a long and tricky email discussion wherein I avoid bluntly asking the question "So is this the kind of CPC that actually helps people, or is it the kind that feeds women dangerous medical misinformation so they won't get abortions?"
I think that it is perfectly acceptable to say "I would prefer to give my clothes to someone who will actually use them instead of donating them. Therefore, I will move on to the next mom to be on the list". You could also add "If I wanted the clothes to be donated, I would have done so myself instead of trying to give them away." But, that last bit may be a touch aggressive.

They say two monitors can increase your productivity by 66%.
I suspect two monitors would just increase my goofing off by 66%.

I like where your aggression is heading.
