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%.

But, that last bit may be a touch aggressive.

I like where your aggression is heading.

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.

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.

I have most work stuff - including work email on the left and Chrome with my fun stuff on the right.

I have a laptop and external monitor, but only use the monitor screen, However, I'm on a mac and usually have 9 active spaces. It always starts out email in 1, monitor gui in 2, timewasting browser in 3 or 6, and terminal logins to various servers in the remaining spaces. And then by the end of the week, it is a holy mess and I have multiple things going on everywhere. I usually try to stick to one project per space, but....I'm not good at being sticky.

I discovered today I have a swimsuit tan. However, given that my pool is indoors, for most of the winter I am swimming after dark and the only sunlight when I'm not is a strip maybe 3 yds wide across the pool, I suspect it is more that my suit exfoliated last summer's tan under the straps. Funny!
