Didn’t you buy that Switch because of that extra money? If so, you should very much return it.

Thankfully I only lose less than $80.

Be sure to lick one of the Switch cartridges. It is a rite of passage that all Switch owners must undertake.REPO Man wrote:Amazon says it's "Shipping Now". It's so close I can practically taste it. Not literally, and not because of the obvious reasons.

I'm back at work on-site now, but I'm working out of a closet office because the main office space for my department needs to have the separate HVAC system given some proper maintenance, something the maintenance folks kept putting off and putting off. Well, now we need it because we have to have proper air movement to and from the outside to keep an open office plan safe. Sure, we're all vaccinated, but there will be people in and out, and we need the system to be working anyway. And once I am back at my proper desk I will have to dust like crazy. There's a lot of work ahead and I'm not very productive using my ancient laptop to remote to my aging desktop to do work. I need my two monitors, man! Gotta have two screens to get any work done.

I pioneered the two screens in my office. When I first started in the role in 2018, they all thought I was crazy with the two screens. Then slowly people started going towards having two screens on their desk.marurun wrote:I'm back at work on-site now, but I'm working out of a closet office because the main office space for my department needs to have the separate HVAC system given some proper maintenance, something the maintenance folks kept putting off and putting off.

After about a year I pulled the ultimate asshole move: I went back to one screen and never looked back.
I loved the two screens at first but my productivity started to take a hit. I’m no expert but I’m sure some expert would see two screens as a cause to lose focus. I have Outlook on one screen and when an email came in, it would pull me away from whatever I was doing. Whatever the case or the issue was for me and the two screen thing, I now have a single 27” Acer monitor with no bezels and I work much better now than I ever did with the two screen setup.

I do a lot of work that requires jumping between interfaces and data sets, which need to be wide so I can see all the data columns. I can’t do that on one monitor, not really. I am constantly getting frustrated pulling the wrong window to the front when I just need them all in the front.
Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Given that information, it totally makes sense for you to have two (or more) monitors. Ever looked into the super wide displays?

That's why I always loved using two monitors back in the States as well (and why I still plan to do that here too someday, once I can get around to getting a PC that can handle it properly XP). It's just so much easier to do spreadsheet work when you have the space to have 3 or 4 half-screen windows open as opposed to constantly flipping between them on just one screen Xpmarurun wrote:I do a lot of work that requires jumping between interfaces and data sets, which need to be wide so I can see all the data columns.
