“sounds like Lech needs to get a tablet computer so he can read serious stuff off web, ebook, etc as he sits next to wifey in front of TV.”
Most husbands need a few tablets when dealing with their wives.
Pres, a few more of these self-inflicted wounds and I’ll initiate the Talent repatriation procedure on you – ie “hey Mrs C, you might want to read a couple of these posts,…”
M4L, for a while I tried to sit on the couch and sculpt while she watched TV. I would open the laptop and plug in headphones so I could listen to music, and I would position the screen of the laptop so it blocked my view of the TV because I didn’t want to hear it or see it. But that just got too annoying. Easier to just go to the other room.
“So CGAR, how many millions do you have to make before you can walk away from this trading floor madness?”
Park Sloper, I’m on a trading floor (3 different trading floors actually), but I’m in Compliance, so if I’m waiting for millions, I will die here at my desk.
“CGar…the ones who have to stand when they talk feel like they’re on the bridge of the Enterprise….Master of the Universe.”
Funny, dave, and he’s prolly the least friendly guy on the entire floor, too, and that’s saying A LOT!
“I’m considering putting a rear-view mirror on top of my screens. Would that be too obvious?”
Biff, I’m afraid even to put those screen protectors on because it will be too obvious that I’m trying to hide something, which of course I am. As I is, I’m self-conscious when I look around to see if anyone is hovering nearby, which they always are because I have the desk by the principal and vice principal.
>and it has 3 candelabra bulbs, and a bulb with a giant/oversized base that’ no way there’s a cfl
Not true. Candleabra cfls come in 60w eqivalent, which is the brightest incand.
“Wife swap?”
Sure, but just for the weekend. Does she cook?

“[lech] Reminds me of a famous feminist lawyer”
That’s so funny – I get that all the time!
“Is Gloria Allred considered a famous feminist lawyer?”
Oy, I suppose so, but that’s not who I mean (and she’s not dead).

>those energy efficient bulbs are DISGUSTING indoors. they give ever the pallow complexion of a corpse. no thanks!
As usual. ignoranve is bliss. cfls come in different color temps; the full-spectrum ones are trash, the cool white too blue but warm white is fine
cmu- I though halogens aren’t green? No?
well, light green. halogen = 2x incand. cfl=4x
