My Monitor is about to give me a seizure

Jack · 11-12-2002, 04:18 PM

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, 04:20 PM

Uh-oh... I think it is going to explode... it's doing it more now.

degauss.

Jack · 11-12-2002, 04:25 PM

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, 04:27 PM

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, 04:30 PM

Yeah, make a bong.

Jack · 11-12-2002, 04:34 PM

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, 04:35 PM

We'll make an ultra bong.

I 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, 04:38 PM

I don't get a choice in what I get. Corporate offices send what they have :-(

Goatweed · 11-12-2002, 04:41 PM

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, 04:44 PM

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, 04:58 PM

Besides the medical problem. Tell them a bigger monitor increases your computer's workspace, therefore increasing your productivity.

Jack · 11-12-2002, 05:03 PM

We are still using Pentium 1 166 machines with Windows NT 4.0.... if that gives you any idea of how cheap they are.

Hybrid · 11-12-2002, 05:12 PM

smash your face through it

Jack · 11-12-2002, 05:14 PM

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, 05:15 PM

or i can smash your face through it for you

can you even do anything with those specs? these machines should be in a museum, not on the job.
