+--- Thread: My Monitor is about to give me a seizure (/showthread.php?tid=4167)
- Jack - 11-12-2002
My monitor every few seconds just flickers uncrontrollably at work. I think it is already starting to affect my work because when it does it I have to stop whatever I am doing and watch it. It's weird. I think I'm going to have a seizure soon.
If I don't make it, it was nice knowing you.
- Jack - 11-12-2002
Uh-oh... I think it is going to explode... it's doing it more now.
- Bloody Anus - 11-12-2002
degauss.
- Jack - 11-12-2002
So what should I do with it once it finally dies?
<ul>
<li>Dispose of it Office Space Fax Machine Style
<li>Just throw it out
<li>Smash it on the ground
<li>Kick it
<li>Find some friends and go fishing with it in Lake Michigan.
</ul>

No Deguass, monitor is too old to have that. Its a 14 inch monitor.
- Jack - 11-12-2002
I found a hammer. Think I could use it to fix the problem?

Make a fish tank.. or a bong. :fuggin:
- Danked - 11-12-2002
Yeah, make a bong.
- Jack - 11-12-2002
hmm..... a bong.... Interesting idea. I'm gonna need some hot glue, a small lead pipe, a welding torch, a cutting torch, and some weed. Whose with me?
- Jack - 11-12-2002
We'll make an ultra bong.

Quote:Its a 14 inch monitorI think it's time for an upgrade, jack. Get yourself a nice, new 19" monitor - your eyes will thank you for it.
And I would get rid of it Office Space Style - just because that was one of the best scenes in the movie :-D
- Jack - 11-12-2002
I don't get a choice in what I get. Corporate offices send what they have :-(
- Goatweed - 11-12-2002
put in a requisition for it then - tell them you need a larger screen for your eyes. Get your eye doctor to write up a letter if you need to (it worked for me, but my eyes really are shitty).
- PeterDragon - 11-12-2002
An alternate version of what Goatweed said....
casually mention that your eyes have really been bothering you, and you might have to file a workman's compensation claim....
crissakes, monitors are dirt cheap. you can get a 17" monitor for, what, $129 now?
even my company isn't that cheap.
- Weird NJ - 11-12-2002
Besides the medical problem. Tell them a bigger monitor increases your computer's workspace, therefore increasing your productivity.
- Jack - 11-12-2002
We are still using Pentium 1 166 machines with Windows NT 4.0.... if that gives you any idea of how cheap they are.

smash your face through it
- Jack - 11-12-2002
I just figured out what to do with it. I'm bringing it with me next summer so I can decimate Hybrid with it.
- Hybrid - 11-12-2002
or i can smash your face through it for you
