[13:55] <rick_h> morning
[13:56] <jrwren> good morning
[13:56] <Scary_Guy> morning
[21:42] <cmaloney> Afternoon and all that.
[21:45] <gamerchick02> 'zactly
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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"
[21:49] <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.
[21:50] <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!
[23:21] <jrwren> ha!
[23:21] <jrwren> so true.
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <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.
