Layoffs suck

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dana, ugh, layoffs are terrible.

msbelle, alas, it sounds like you're actually sick.

We have blinds on all our windows--which also face south. They are in regular use. It's actually worse on light cloudy days, because the light is diffuse. On cloudless days, if the sun isn't shining directly in, it's wonderful. As the year progresses, the sun is shifting enough to not shine directly in, except for the Officehenge on the west and east ends of the building.

I'm having trouble seeing, namely managing glare, today myself. I fear this may herald a migraine.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The sun only comes directly in on my computer monitor for about half an hour in the afternoon ... but the light is so bright, I'm pretty much blind without sunglasses.

For offices with crazy fluorescent lights, they make these... Film-like? Covers you can put between the bulb and the cover. They come in different colors and patterns. A coffee shop near here has some space-themed ones that are very pretty.

O RLY? Maybe I should get that for my kitchen.

I'm of the buy-new-drip-pans school. Hey, while you are cleaning/replacing the drip pans, take the opportunity to clean the contacts on your electric burners. Corrosion increases resistance.

We have no windows in this part of the building. I have to go through a door to get to a window.

Why aren't drip pans coated in Teflon?

I'm pretty sure that exists, but really it's so much easier to just get new ones. I have a high tolerance for drip pans with gook burned on to them, though.

Sorry, Dana. That's no fun for anyone.

Interested in looking for Genoese CDs all of a sudden.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just assumed you had been watching the Great British Baking Show! Where they make Genoese cakes.

Oh, hey, I have a Farmer's Almanac! Forgot I picked one up at the bank.
