Did you leave your undies in the freezer again?

I came into work on Saturday. Sometimes I wish work could always be like that: Almost no one around, dedicated to a single project, no flood of emails, no meetings, no one to stop you from taking as long a lunch as you want. I was a thousand times more productive than I am during the week.

Saturday in the payroll depatment.
Everyone that comes in wants to leave... you can work, the system isnt bogged down, and no employees call your phone.. and heavens, you can accomplish something.

I soooo agree.

This is why I have an isolated work at home office. That, and the commute to Sunnyvale CA would be a killer every day.

Except when my kids are home during the no school months of summer. Then I want to kill myself.

And the award for parent of the year goes to...

Today, I brought in a little present for one of my co-workers. Her light bill has been skyrocketing. I picked up 2 packs of compact flourescent bulbs as a little gift to see if maybe we could bring her light bill down a bit. I made the change well over a year ago and reduced my bill by about 15%.

Consequently, I have spent nearly all day extolling the virtues of compact flourescents to a bunch of people who had obviously never heard of them.

Why don't more people know about these things????

They are fantastic...unless you have a variable output lamp. Then, not so much.

Scrooge McSam · 03-13-2006, 02:48 PM

Yes, they are... I don't save so much because I live alone, usually only burning one light at a time except for the office light which is always on. But this lady has a husband and 2 high school kids... the lights are on all the time. They should save big.

Yep, they're useless in 3 way lights.

Do the flourescent tubes provide the same savings? I am considering doing some remodelling in the kitchen, and my current plan is to rip out some flourescent lighting and replace it with track lighting. Not that the kitchen lights are on that much to make that big of a difference.

Scrooge McSam · 03-13-2006, 03:31 PM

Same? Hmmm Hard to say. Flourescents are "generally" more energy efficient than incandescent. They are, however, more expensive to replace, but their expected service life is a lot longer.
