| jrwren | good morning | 13:56 |
| Scary_Guy | morning | 13:56 |
| cmaloney | Afternoon and all that. | 21:42 |
| gamerchick02 | 'zactly | 21:45 |
| gamerchick02 | what do you say to someone at work who wants to change your entire desk setup for "dual monitors" when you don't like that? | 21:46 |
| cmaloney | Have you tried dual monitors? | 21:46 |
| gamerchick02 | seriously, i use one so i don't lose things. just because i don't work the same way as you do (you damn millennial) doesn't mean i'm freaking WRONG | 21:46 |
| gamerchick02 | yes, it's a pain in my backside and i don't particularly like it. | 21:47 |
| cmaloney | I find dual monitors handy but I can understand the pushback | 21:47 |
| cmaloney | Use one as a wallpaper monitor. | 21:47 |
| gamerchick02 | also "use the remote desktop, it's so much better" | 21:47 |
| cmaloney | so you have an ever-changing picture in your office. :) | 21:47 |
| gamerchick02 | no, i can't pull reports out of CoDeP and save them properly with that | 21:47 |
| cmaloney | Ah, then you have something you can push back with | 21:48 |
| gamerchick02 | i tile, as well as i can in windows 7 | 21:48 |
| cmaloney | Then tell them "my work becomes more difficult with two monitors" | 21:48 |
| gamerchick02 | he offered another monitor and i laughed. it was so tiny! it was CUTE | 21:49 |
| gamerchick02 | (i have a CAD laptop, my monitor is much larger) | 21:49 |
| gamerchick02 | i guess i just don't like people telling me how to setup my workspace. just because it works for you doesn't mean it will work for me. | 21:49 |
| cmaloney | That's understandable | 21:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm particular about how my stuff is setup. don't force me to change. | 21:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm a grumpy old | 21:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i can say that because the guy training me is under 30 | 21:50 |
| cmaloney | heh | 21:50 |
| cmaloney | brb | 21:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm 35. hence grumpy old | 21:50 |
| gamerchick02 | ok! | 21:50 |
| jrwren | ha! | 23:21 |
| jrwren | so true. | 23:21 |
| cmaloney | I've found both doual monitors and single monitors can be productive | 23:44 |
| cmaloney | I prefer the dual monitors when I'm developing as I can keep docs / browsers opn in another tab | 23:44 |
| cmaloney | er, monitor | 23:44 |
| cmaloney | but I wouldn't presume to make it mandatory | 23:45 |
| cmaloney | $lastjob had a dual monitor workspace by default for everyone in the company | 23:45 |
| cmaloney | but a lot of folks had multiple applications open that they used to check data and what-not | 23:45 |
| cmaloney | again, presumption is the devil. | 23:45 |
