good morning, part 2
so…two posts in one morning…some strange is afoot…
actually, nothing strange, just three more things…
to counter the effects of the 5 people in the office that MUST turn on ALL of the overhead lights in the office WITHOUT warning, I need to invent a “cone of darkness.” It would be like the “cone of silence” on Get Smart, but would cast a 36 square foot shadow over my cube.
I’ve already take 4 advanced orders. Want to back me?

as much as I wouldn’t want to cripple an economy, aren’t we at the point of automated coffee machines at Dunkin’ Donuts?
Seriously, I give my order at least three times per visit, and at least twice a week they need to remake my coffee after hearing the order the third time (at least they ask).
I could just as easily push the buttons myself…

I think that there is a fine line, maybe a one song margin between listening to too much Pink Floyd and too little Pink Floyd, and its effects on the work day. If I were at my old job, I would totally take on the full scientific approach, but I can’t swing that here, so I’ll just stick with Gilmore-heavy tunes, with an uplifting Syd tune thrown in for good measure now and again, and hope for the best.

Umm, I’ve been places where you hit the buttons and then a person makes it. Still wrong, so unless the machine makes it we’re screwed.
An old job got rid of the overhead lights in favor of a light over each cube. The lights were motion activated and you were able to adjust how bright they were with a desktop app. That was cool, except I left mine off all the time and my idiot boss assumed that if it wasn’t on I wasn’t in the cube. That got me in trouble because I was never at my desk. Like I said, idiot.
