I thought I had a Friends problem too! Maybe I just forgot.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure the amount of time I'm going to spend figuring out if I can effectively use both monitors and how it works best will not be helping my productivity over the next couple of days, anyway.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I have 4 monitors at work but three of them are dedicated (map, phone, dispatch) and everything else happens on the furthest right screen. praise be all the chairs swivel or my neck would be constant agony from all the turning.

BTW, Target is on the list as having their email addresses compromised.
