What the fuck?

Ok, so, like I (normally) work in Store Support for Borders. I sit in a lil cave chained to a phone and fix things. Ok not literally, but the general gist is there.

Emphasis on "lil cave". Ground floor, cubicle land, very little light. LIke, only half the lights would be on at any given time, which was very good because I am not a fan of bright, flourescent lights.

Now, some moron with nothing better to do with their time has gone and turned on all the lights in our area. You know, the ones we had PURPOSELY turned off to avoid the bright white sterile glare of dilbert doom. And now I can't fucking see worth shit on my computer screen and as anyone who knows me can attest to, I am about as friendly towards bright light as your typical vampire.

This fucking sucks.

lights make the world go round

I feel your pain. I work in a call center too, and there have been days when most of the lights were off (usually on weekends). But I'm the oppositte, I can't STAND to have the lights off - it hurts my eyes to be constantly staring at the brightest light in the room (the monitor). I always have my light on at home, too, when I'm on the computer.

Course now, due to legal reasons ("What if someone trips and falls in the pseudo-darkness??"), the lights are always all on. In fact, if one of the higher-ups comes on the floor and the lights are partly off, whoever's in charge of the floor at the time will get fired immediately.

Ya win some, ya lose some. Maybe an anti-glare screen would help ya.

Ye gods! I don't think I could handle that. This is why I work from home in my pajamas. I pity you for being in fluorescent-lighted hell.
